Perhaps one of the most famous pit girls in the world is Lauren Vickers. This native to Sydney, Australia has been breaking hearts with each race she attends, and for ample good reasons, too. If her gorgeous, silky hair does not woo you in, then her dreamy smile certainly will. Of course, the talk of the town is her million dollar legs, a sure staple for any supermodel pit girl. We managed to find a rare interview of her. Here are some answers to prevalent questions that are on the mind of most men who fancy Vickers. Thanks to Red Bull for conducting this interview.
What companies is she a pit girl for, what else is she doing, and how is work going?
I signed a deal with LCR as the ‘official grid girl’ of LCR Honda Team for 2010, but I kind of do a bit of everything. I try to fit in a photo shoot for sponsors of the team; I spend time with our VIP guests and explain stuff to them if it’s their first time in the garage. What else? I’m just constantly running around, as I’m a full-time model if I’m in one place – though I’ve hardly been in one place for long this season. It started with me in Barcelona and an agency there, then when Randy broke his leg I spent time being a nurse for him, and also I help translate his personal press releases from French to English. [Lauren and French rider Randy de Puniet have got it together this season, so the pair of them now travels the world to the races from his pad in Andorra.] This was particularly important when he was recovering as I was the only person with him. Getting my own website up and running is quite a lot of effort, printing promotional posters, screen backgrounds and a blog, too, so you can keep track of what I’ve been doing.
Does she ride bikes, too?
I started riding when I was 18 on my first CBR 250 and then an RVF 400. It was a great little bike, but once I got my full license, I bought a Yamaha R6 and I did some track days and went to Phillip Island every year with my mates from my local motorcycle club. I was just really into bikes.
How tall is she?
1m 80cm – that’s 5ft 11in.
Favorite part about being a pit girl?
When you step out on to the grid and there’s a roar – an eruption. It’s such a great energy to make people do that. And that photo shoot I did with Julia [Liptakova] and Gabriela [Korínková] by the pool in Misano. I learned it’s had 80,000 hits on YouTube and 70,000 on MotoGP.com. That’s great to hear because I put all that together and got permission from people to do it.
And the question that you have all been wondering: Where can you get a copy of the issue of Playboy where Vickers was voted the Playmate of the Year (2010)? This Site has a few copies that remain. Happy bidding.
WATCH: Behind the Scenes with Lauren Vickers
This model is known for her sweepingly graceful smile, her perfect hair, flawless figure, idyllic skin and, most notably, for her long legs, which have her as the talk of the town. So what is life like behind the scenes for Vickers? With all of this direct quoting banter we’ve provided you with, it would be unfair of us to not at least offer some video of her, too. Check this vide out, it takes you on a wild ride to see what it is like backstage – ahem, back pit row – for leading pit girl supermodels like this.
