Team Principal Maddi Patterson shares her ambitions with Motorsport Week for Sekhmet International Motorcycle Racing Team in the inaugural FIM
After a decade in motorsport, Maddi Patterson started her very own race team inspired by her journey from fire to the front lines in the paddock. Despite suffering burns on 60% of her body in a 2020 accident, she made a full recovery and found strength in the Egyptian deity Sekhmet, which became her team name. With a background starting as an umbrella girl and working her way up to becoming a Team Principal, Patterson decided to create an all-female team to compete in the Women’s World Championship motorcycle racing series. With the support of sponsors and partners, she founded the Sekhmet International Racing Team as part of her agency PHNX Powersport Promotions. The team, led by riders Lissy Whitmore and Mallory Dobbs, will debut on June 14th, 2024, at the Misano World Circuit, marking a significant milestone in female representation in motorsport.
