Australian motorsport racer Tayla Relph has broken barriers as the first female to win in the Australian championship and currently competes in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship, where she secured a podium finish in her debut season.

EARLY YEARS

Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Tayla was captivated by motorcycles at just two and a half years old after attending a Crusty Demons motorcycle show. Her parents gifted her a Yamaha PeeWee 50cc, which she began riding shortly before her third birthday on January 7th. Though her family had no background in competitive road racing, her father Steven played a crucial role in nurturing her passion, introducing her to road racing at age ten through his connections at the Motorcycle Sportsmen of Queensland club.

EARLY SUCCESS

Tayla’s racing journey progressed rapidly after transitioning from motocross at age six to road racing by ten. In 2014, she made an impressive debut in the Australian championship with an overall round win and finished second in the Moto3 class. By 2016, she made history as the first female to win a race in the Australian championship, securing two victories in the Moto3 category and finishing third overall in the standings. Despite facing challenges including bullying at her all-girls school and being the only female competitor in most races, her determination and family support kept her focused on her racing goals.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2012-2013: Participated in the Red Bull Rookie Selection events.
2014: Secured an overall round win in her first Australian championship appearance and finished second in the Moto3 class.
2016: Became the first female to win a race in the Australian championship, with two wins in the Moto3 category and third place overall.
2017: Competed in the FIM Asia Cup of Road Racing held in India.
2018: Finished second in a race against 27 male competitors in the Australian Supersport 300 championship.
2024: Secured a podium finish at the Cremona Circuit in the inaugural FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR).

REPUTATION

As the only Australian selected for the inaugural 2024 WorldWCR championship, Tayla has gained recognition for making history as the first rider to top a WorldWCR session at Cremona. Her consistent success in domestic championships and achievement of a maiden World Championship podium in her debut season established her as a formidable competitor on the global stage. Finishing 7th overall in the 2024 WorldWCR season, she has become known not just for her racing prowess but also for her dedication to inspiring young females to enter motorsport.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

With her spot confirmed for the 2025 WorldWCR championship with TAYCO Motorsport, Tayla aims to fight for more podium finishes with the ultimate goal of becoming a World Champion. Beyond personal achievements, she is committed to being a positive female role model in motorsport and considers encouraging more women to participate in the sport to be as important as winning championships, stating, “If I can convince one more woman to get involved in this sport, that’s a World Championship to me.”
