Racing
[edit]Fernandez races in the MotoAmerica Superstock 600 class on purpose-built short circuits, although she has also raced in the Daytona 200 and in one-off short circuit races overseas in both Australia, Ireland, and the US.[2] In 2014 she made her debut at the Ulster Grand Prix, a race in Northern Ireland held on a circuit made from public roads closed for the purpose, and has raced there every year since.[3] In 2016 she was recognized by the organizers of the UGP as 'The fastest ever female road racer' with a special gold medal, after her 118.264 mph average lap of the Dundrod Circuit on a 600 during the second Supersport race of the 2016 UGP.[4] Technically, Jenny Tinmouth has lapped the Mountain Course at the Isle of Man TT at 119.998 mph on a 1000cc Superbike during the Senior TT in 2010,[citation needed] but the UGP organizers have long styled their event as 'The World's Fastest Road Race.'
