However, it’s not just the action, bikes and riders that lures MotoGP fans, as majority of the, are equally excited to see the paddock girls too. Thus, one can surely say that these hot paddock girls in MotoGP have surely added more charm and glamour to the sport. Many people know that the job of these sensational paddock girls is to wear sexy clothes and hold the umbrellas over the riders when they are getting ready for the race. Or join the top three riders at the podium when they gather to celebrate their victory.
But do you know when exactly these promotional models or paddock girls were first used in the motor racing sport? Any guesses?? No not in early 1990s and not even in 1980s, the promotional models were first used in the motor racing event way back in 1960s. The top model of that time Rosa Ogawa was first used for this purpose when she was brought to the stage to represent the winners of the race. It was after that very event when the term race queen was first coined. Before that women that people usually get to see at the motor racing event were either wives, girlfriends of the racers or staff members of the team.
However, it was after 1983 when the model girls regularly started appearing in various motor racing events. Thanks to the Hawaiian Tropic, a sun tan lotion company, that brought sexy and young models from the US to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1983 for being the main sponsor of the event. It was the first time that the models wore bikinis on such an event, which had company’s name written on them. The addition of glamour was appreciated by the fans as a result it was once again repeated at the Suzuka 8 Hours motorcycle race in Japan after a year.
Since then paddock girls have become a permanent part of the motor racing event. Thus, today their numbers have also been increased. These model girls are now also known by different names today, as in Japan they are known as Idols, whereas in Europe they are called ‘grid or pit girls’. In contrast to Europeans and Japanese, the Koreans called them racing models. The most stunning thing about these gorgeous babes is that alike racers they too have a huge base of fans and their admirers can be found everywhere. These admirers especially attend racing events just to see their favourite paddock girl.
