Tayla Relph is a trailblazing Australian motorcycle racer who made history as the first woman to win an Australian Championship race on a Honda 250cc Moto3, and continues to break barriers as one of the select few women competing in the inaugural FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship.
EARLY YEARS
Born in Australia, Tayla’s passion for motorsports began early, with her parents taking her to race meets from a young age. She started riding at just three years old on a Yamaha Pee Wee 50, and by age six, she was already participating in her first motocross race, setting the foundation for her future racing career[2].
EARLY SUCCESS
At age 15, Relph received an invitation to her first overseas event—a junior selection for world championships. She recalls pulling over with her mother and crying for ten minutes upon receiving the email. Though she didn’t make the final cut among the 150 competitors, the experience proved she belonged in professional racing. Her breakthrough came at 19, when she became the first female to win an Australian Championship race on a Honda 250cc Moto3 bike in 2016, a historic achievement that transformed her from competitor to pioneer[1].
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2016: Became the first woman to win an Australian Championship race on a Honda 250cc Moto3[1].
- 2024: Selected as one of only 26 women worldwide to compete in the inaugural FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR) with TAYCO Motorsport on a Yamaha YZF-R7[2].
REPUTATION
Tayla has established herself as a groundbreaking figure in motorsports, with her historic wins serving as inspiration for young women entering the sport. Often the only woman on the grid in Australian Championship races, she has embraced her role as a pioneer with determination and grit. Her ability to compete at the highest levels while maintaining authenticity—shown when she openly shared the emotional moment of her first international selection with her mother—has endeared her to fans and earned respect throughout the racing community[1][4].
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Relph aims to continue her participation in the WorldWCR series, building on her experience with TAYCO Motorsport and her Yamaha YZF-R7. Beyond competition, she plans to expand her mentorship of young female riders, working to increase women’s representation in professional motorsports. Her long-term vision includes establishing more pathways for girls to enter and succeed in racing, using her platform to transform what has historically been a male-dominated sport[2][4].
