On October 30, 2024, Chinese rider CHEN Shiyu (陈诗瑜) made history by becoming only the second female rider to be selected for the full-time line-up of the Asia Talent Cup (ATC) and the first-ever Chinese female rider to be selected. Here is her story. paddocksorority.com/2024/11/15/its…

Since the 2021 season, Pippa Mann has been one of the prominent members of the Girls Only line-up, being part of the crew that took a class win in the GT4 class of the iconic Nürburgring 24-Hours. Here is our interview with her. paddocksorority.com/2024/11/05/pip…

Italy was one of the axis powers, together with Japan. Spain was politically aligned with Nazi Germany. The fact that the Italian team and the Spanish rider doesn't even think about the implication here is just appalling
Simon Patterson@denkmit

The dismissal and/or ignorance of what Japan did in China during WWII just goes to show how Eurocentric history education is. 20 million dead, and the atrocities that Imperial Japan committed in China (and in Korea) are worse than anything the Nazis did in Europe

putting all the historical issues aside, this is simply bad for business for QJMotor. They came in the world championship to appeal to their customers, not to offend them. Now their brand image is associated with the last thing any Chinese brand would like to be seen with
The Race@wearetherace

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer QJ Motor has demanded that the Gresini team it sponsors drops Motegi Moto2 race winner Manuel Gonzalez immediately. It comes after he wore a traditional hachimaki headband on the grid last weekend ➡️ the-race.com/motogp/qj-moto… the-race.com/motogp/qj-moto…

and some of them did this in the past. Daniel Holgado did it before, guess who he rides for next year. This ignorance is the result if the US leting Japan off the hook after the war so it could be its outpost in the region against USSR (now Russia) and China
Simon Patterson@denkmit

It’s also another failing of MotoGP PR as a whole though, because these kids should be better informed of this stuff. He wasn’t the only one to wear one on Sunday - but he was the only one with a Chinese sponsor to do it…

Exactly. What's even worse is that Japan never distanced itself from militarism or apologized to the Chinese, Korean, Southeast Asian people for their unspeakable crime. Many of their so called cultural symbols are heavily associated with their actions in WWII

In 2022, CFMOTO became the first-ever Chinese manufacturer on the Moto3 constructor’s championship. We recently had a conversation with the mastermind behind this project – CFMOTO’s Brand Director Samantha LIU. Here is her story. paddocksorority.com/2024/09/05/cfm…
