She’s got class, looks and more importantly she’s fast, and Jenny Tinmouth will be making history as she will be the first woman ever to compete in the British Superbike championship this 2011 season.

Tinmouth 31, will be riding for Splitlath Motorsport and using factory backed Aprilia RSV4’s and will be fielded next to South African Hudson Kennaugh.

Jenny, who hails from Ellesmere Port, already has extensive racing experience both on track and on road. She started in the British 125cc Championshipback in 2003 and in 2010 won a British Supersport Cup race and finished a close third in the championship. She also set a new record for the fastest lap by a woman at the famous Isle of Man TT event and won the final round of the Hottrax British Endurance Championship at Cadwell Park last November.

This video of the Agni Z2 electric superbike on the track is actually a promotional video for the new Citroen Survolt electric supercar, meaning we don’t get to see much of the bike or know how the car vs bike challenge ends. But in any case, there’s always a good excuse to check out the electric motorcycle market, especially the superbike developments at that.

The Agni Z2 bike in this video is ridden by Jenny Tinmouth from the Isle of Man’s TTXGP. Maybe an unusual choice you might think until you know that Vanina Ickx is at the wheel of the Survolt, who also drove it in the this year’s Le Mans series. The Agni Z2 has batteries with a 50 kW output, 65php and a top speed of 200 km/hr.

The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is one of the toughest road racing series of the world and to ride the legendary Mountain Course takes a pair of big ones, but there are also two highly competitive ladies who are riding in this year’s races, Maria Costello, a five year TT veteran taking part in Superstock, Superbike and Senior races, while Jenny Tinmouth, who owns the fastest women’s lap record at the Island is competing in Superbike, Superstock, and Senior TT, along with both Supersport TT races.

With several races already completed here’s how the two have fared: Pokerstars Superbike TT Race: Costello finished in 50th and Tinmouth came in 46th, while in the Monster Energy Supersport Race 1 Maria Costello was 42nd Jenny Tinmouth took 45th

Check out the video to see what makes these ladies tick.
