From the NSSC website ……

Pippa is a FIM Commission member for Women and is also the first Ambassador for Women in Motorcycle Racing at the ACU, a role specifically created for her.

Pippa has spent over twenty years involved with motorcycle sports, initially through her relationship with Irish Superbike and Moto GP racer, Eugene Laverty, who is now her husband. 

Pippa has recently fallen in love with our sport and is gutted that she hasn't been involved before now. One of her key passions and focus is to help raise the profile of women's speedway on the international stage, and in the last three years she's had some notable success.

Her role within the ACU though has expanded beyond this now, so for example, Pippa is also responsible for their social media output as well. British Speedway also benefits as she has applied her skill set to help with their media events, hospitality and sponsorship. 

Pippa certainly knows her way round the ACU rule book and regulations and took the time to attain a clerk of the course licence. She understands and respects that the governing body is made up of volunteers who are passionate about making improvements within the sport, rather than just police it

As is the case with many enterprising women striving to make a positive change within male dominated motorcycle sports, Pippa has skilfully learned how to open doors in order to achieve her goals and has responded to any barriers positively as a challenge.
