Paris Hilton debuts motorcycle racing team

Things to Do

Paris Hilton is part owner of the new Paris Hilton SuperMartxe VIP 125cc racing team in Madrid.

Paris Hilton poses with Spanish riders Sergio Gadea, left and Maverick Vinales, the 2010 Spanish and European 125cc GP Champions. The racing team will compete in the 2011 FIM Motorcycling Championship 2011 in the 125cc class.

While Paris won't actually be riding in any of the motorcyle races, she is part owner of the team.

Paris Hilton strikes a pose atop a racing motorcycle. The team's name, SuperMartx VIP, is the name of a popular dance party series in Ibiza.

Sergio Gadea and Maverick Vinale seem to be enamored of their team's new owner, and not overly concerned about having to ride a pink-themed bike in future races.

On Twitter, Paris Hilton declared, "I love motorcycles." Hilton has promoted everything from hair extensions to perfume over the course of her career as a full-time socialite.

Paris Hilton reacts to a reporter's question during a press conference at the presentation of the new Paris Hilton SuperMartxe VIP 125cc racing team in Madrid.

Paris is contracted to appear at five of the races on the calendar for the upcoming season, which take place around the globe.
