Achievements

Tinmouth has achieved many firsts for women in the sport. She was the first female to enter and qualify to race in the British 125GP championship, the British Supersport and Supersport Cup Championships and the British Championship.

Tinmouth is the first female to lead and score points in a British Championship Race, the first to stand on the podium and the first to win a British Championship Race with a win in the Supersport Cup at Silverstone in 2010. She completed the 2010 championship with the most points and in previous years would have won the championship outright but with the new 2010 rules she was placed 3rd overall, the highest championship finishing place for a female competitor.

Tinmouth is the first British female to race in World Supersport and the first to race a full-blown superbike when she was invited to race for Rizla Suzuki in 2007 as a teammate to MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow.

Tinmouth also won the first ever UK Electric Bike Racing (TTXgp) Championship in 2010 as well as finishing 3rd in the World Electric bike Racing Championship in the same year aboard her Agni Z2 and finished fourth in the TT Zero race during the 2010 Isle of Man TT.

In 2011, Tinmouth began racing a superbike full-time, entering the British Superbike Championship and racing for the Splitlath Motorsport Team. Tinmouth began her own British Superbike Team – Two Wheel Racing – in 2011, running under the name of her main sponsors Hardinge and Sorrymate.com, making her the first ever female British Superbike Team owner.

Tinmouth has achieved many accolades as well as her Guinness World Records. In 2012, she received The Women's International Film and Television Showcase International Visionary Awards 'IT Girl' award presented in Los Angeles for her commitment and dedication to her sport, citing her as an inspiration to women across the spectrum of all ages around the world. She also received the most Meritorious Performance by a Solo Newcomer Award at the TT in 2009 and the Susan Jenness Trophy in both 2009 and 2010 for the Most Meritorious Performance by a female competitor at the TT and has received two 'Your Champions' Sporting awards.

Tinmouth ran her own team, Two Wheel Racing, with the support of Manx Glass & Glazing Ltd, in the British Superbike Championship for 2013.

Tinmouth previously campaigned in some Thundersport GB rounds during 2013.

For the 2015 season, Tinmouth competed in the British Superbike Championship as part of the Honda Racing UK, with team-mates Jason O'Halloran and Dan Linfoot.

In 2020, Tinmouth announced that she would be racing on a Phil Crowe Performance BMW S1000RR in the National Superstock Championship with the support of the Ashcourt Group and she'll be changing race number to 25.
