Hello, I’m Sam Burman, a 18 year old female motorcycle road racer from Messingham, Scunthorpe.

How did you get involved in Road Racing?
I have been involved with it all my life, It's always been around because of my dad. That is why I got into it, but not why I do it now. I love it, I just love riding the bike that feeling you get, but riding fast obviously.

What drives you to keep competing?
The chase always needing to be better it gets tiring but that's what drives me the constant need to improve, with the aim of becoming British Champion

Your career highlights?
Winning, winning at Cadwell was pretty good really it felt so good coming off a hard year, this meant a lot to me because it shows I can do it and turn the year around, I'm judging this not only on the wins but the fact I went faster which means I did improve, and restored the belief that there is more to come.

What's your favourite track?
Cadwell Park because there's so many different types of corners which are hard to get right. Also the atmosphere is completely different to anywhere else and because its local everyone has a story about going. I also like Donnington because its a fast flowing circuit.

What's it like being a girl in the sport?
To me it doesn't really feel like I'm that much different I feel at home in the paddocks because it where I've been brought up.

What do you spend your spare time doing?
I don't have spare time; I spend my time preparing cleaning and polishing my bikes for the meetings. Also I go running to allow me to perform my best on race day, and when all that's done I will go out with my friends.

If you weren't racing bikes what would you do?
I've got three goal in life ( with no time scale) to become British Champion, To learn as much as I can about my trade and become a brilliant turner, and to one day have a happy home with a loving family
