Tiny Maxim: A Fierce Female Racer Who Dominates the Podium
Orawan 'Tiny Maxim' Satthatham is a fierce motorcycle racer who has consistently reached the podium. Her nickname 'Tiny' was given by her parents when she was small, and 'Maxim' comes from her previous career as a Maxim model. She defines herself as someone who must be beautiful, skilled, and maintain a great physique while racing. She acknowledges that motorcycle racing is traditionally a male-dominated sport, with significant physical challenges for women. In most racing categories, she might be the only female participant. Despite facing skepticism and criticism, she has proven her abilities by consistently winning and standing on the podium. In one memorable incident, she experienced a near-fatal accident during a race, sliding and losing consciousness for 5 hours after another racer's oil spill. This experience taught her the critical importance of safety equipment and mental preparedness. Her most memorable race was the R7 Cup, where she rode a borrowed 700cc motorcycle and secured second place, proving that with determination, she can achieve her goals.
