FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR)
The FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship — known as the WorldWCR — is the world’s first women-only motorcycle road racing world championship. Now in its third season, the series brings together 24 riders from 12 countries to compete on identical Yamaha YZF-R7 motorcycles, ensuring that results come down to rider skill alone. Races are held across six European circuits as part of the World Superbike weekend, giving the riders a major-league stage and a global audience. The WorldWCR exists to give women a legitimate, high-profile path in professional motorcycle racing — and every race is streamed free on YouTube.

I started out in racing when I was 13 years old. I had never really been to a race track but went along to a club meet with my dad's friend who was racing and fell in love with it all – the bikes, the paddock and just the whole atmosphere of being there.

Every time I think about it, I get goosebumps. Sometimes I don't even realize that I'm the only rider representing my country here. It's an amazing feeling and it's hard to describe how grateful and honored I am for this opportunity

Racing is about more than just speed; it's about the connection between the rider, the bike, and the asphalt. You have to find that perfect balance where you are on the limit but still in total control

Arianna Barale
Italy
// number: 41

I don't see myself as a 'girl racer,' I see myself as a racer. But if my being on the grid inspires another young girl in Italy to pick up a helmet and try this sport, then that is a victory outside of the track results
Patrycja Sowa
Poland
// number: 44
birthdate:

I feel like a super-uncool mum who races motorbikes and somehow I've got this legendary DJ [Carl Cox] backing me. Being flexible is key, but it's a massive juggling act... life's just chaos, like absolute chaos

WorldWCR is the highest level for women in motorcycling. It was such an honor for me to race in it as a wildcard... It turned out I was [in the game]! I think I have the potential to perform in the championship. I can do podiums

Every lap is a lesson. I'm not just racing against the clock or other riders; I’m racing against the person I was yesterday. Each race weekend, my goal is to find that extra tenth of a second and prove that I belong at the world level

Before the launch of the women-only series, I was racing but always with the men, finishing maybe tenth. I was having fun in the national classes, but I didn't have a world goal. Now that we have a World Championship, I'm happy because I see a goal: I want to win

Representing my country and Latin America is very important to me. You need to have a lot of determination, heart, and courage to get to where we are now. It's a dream and an emotion I can't explain... I think my time in Europe will open many doors for future generations

Being part of projects like MotoXracing that focus on developing young female riders is so important. We are building a path so that dreaming of a world championship isn't just a dream anymore, but a reachable goal for girls starting in this sport
