As conversations around diversity in motorsport grow louder, the need for practical, long-term solutions has never been more urgent. Michael Hill — a prominent figure in the WorldSBK paddock — believes that change doesn’t just begin with who lines up on the grid, but with the systems that support them. From the barriers riders face to the pathways young girls don’t yet know exist, Hill offers a deeply informed perspective on how motorsport can — and must — do better.

A constant presence in the World Superbike paddock as the host of the Paddock Show, a rider manager, and an experienced journalist, Hill has spent more upwards of 15 years working at the sport’s highest levels. Through that lens, he’s watched the evolution of women’s place in the racing world -  and today, he speaks about it not only with insight, but with a genuine sense of hope.
