by isleofman.com 3rd February 2011

The fastest woman around the Mountain Course will make history this year after becoming the first female to secure a full-time ride in the British Superbike Championship.

Jenny Tinmouth is set to contest this year's BSB championship for the Splitlath Motorsport team.

The 31-year-old finished third in the 2010 British Supersport Cup.

Tinmouth said: "I'm over the moon to be in BSB this year and I still can't believe it. My ambition has always been to race in BSB."

She added: "I've been trying for some time and I think all my hard work over the past seasons has finally paid off.

Tinmouth has worked her way up to BSB having started out in the British 125GP Championship in 2003.

She's lapped the TT Course at an average speed of 119.945mph.
