With incredibly low levels of female participation both on-track and in garages, MotoGP and its feeder series have a serious diversity problem. But one young Italian woman is hoping to change that, and sat down with Motorsport.com to lay out her plans.
With no woman having ever competed in a full season of MotoGP or Moto2 – Gina Bovaird remains the only woman to have ever started a premier class race, albeit in the largely boycotted 1982 500cc French Grand Prix - and with just a handful having ridden in Moto3, top tier motorcycle racing can be a difficult environment for women to break into. There are also few women working as mechanics or engineers in the paddock – a common problem across motorsport as a whole.
” Angelucci believes the lack of opportunities owes much to the historic absence of female competitors in MotoGP, which means “often, sponsors and the family itself think that it’s only a hobby and can’t be work”. Therefore, she says,“the idea is to create an example to bring more women that can be near this.” Angelucci herself is a powerful example of what is possible for young women hoping to break into the championships.
