Veronika Hankocyova is a pioneering Czech road racer with nearly 20 years of experience who founded the all-female “Wonder Women Racing Team” in 2022 to promote women in motorsports.
EARLY YEARS
While detailed information about Veronika’s early family life is not available from the provided sources, we know she has been involved in road racing for nearly two decades, developing a strong character through her experiences in the sport.
EARLY SUCCESS
Veronika began her competitive racing career in 2005 after fellow enthusiasts recognized her Suzuki GS 750 1977 as ideal for Clubsport X class racing. Her career gained momentum in 2007 when she met Michal “Indi” Dokoupil at the Brno Circuit during the Czech Endurance Cup, beginning both a romantic partnership and a collaborative racing journey[1]. Her determination through financial challenges early in her career showcased the resilience that would become her trademark.

REPUTATION
Known as the “Road Racing Queen,” Veronika has built a reputation for courage, dedication, and remarkable energy on challenging circuits like the Isle of Man. Her ability to navigate demanding conditions while competing primarily against male riders in the Supersport and Supertwin classes has earned her respect throughout the motorsports community. By founding the Wonder Women Racing Team, she’s transforming her individual success into a platform that elevates women in racing more broadly[1].
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Veronika aims to expand her racing horizons by competing in various international events and exploring new racing venues in countries like Croatia and Italy. Through her continued involvement with both the Wonder Women Racing Team and Indiracingteam, she plans to inspire the next generation of female racers while challenging the status quo in the traditionally male-dominated racing community[4].
