Paris Hilton Can Now Add 'Motorcycle Race Win' To Her Resume
Paris Hilton is celebrating after a member of her MotoGP racing team won the Valencia Grand Prix in Spain on Sunday.
The socialite has expanded her business empire by launching her own motorcycle racing team, called SuperMartxe VIP by Paris Hilton, and she was trackside to watch as Maverick Vinales took first place at the MotoGP championship final.
Hilton shared her delight with fans in a series of posts on her Twitter.com blog and and even posted a photograph of herself posing with the race trophy.
She writes, "OMG (Oh my God)!!! My Paris Hilton Racing Team rider Maverick Vinales just won first place in the MotoGP Grand Prix Finals! Yessss (sic)!!!!! So exciting!... Standing up on the podium at The MotoGP Finals with all the winners felt amazing! So proud of my rider for winning first place! Yes!... So happy and proud of my team!"
Hilton also used her appearance at the event to pay tribute to Italian motorcycle racer Marco Simoncelli, who was killed in an accident during the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix last month. The star wore a white and pink jacket with Simoncelli's number embroidered in glitter on the front.
She adds, "In honor of The MotoGP legend Marco Simoncelli, I am wearing his (number) 58. You are in all our hearts & minds."

For her first year of being a motorcycle owner, Paris Hilton did a pretty good job. Both riders on the Blusens by Paris Hilton Racing Team finished in the top 10 at the end of the 2011 125cc MotoGPchampionship. Maveric Vinales took the final win of the season to claim third in the championship while Sergio Gadeo also had a good season to finish in 9th.
"OMG!!! My Paris Hilton Racing Team Rider Maverick Vinales just won First Place in the #Motogp Grand Prix Finals! #YESSSS!!!!! So exciting!"
Hilton spent the weekend in Valencia with her MotoGP team. She even worked as a grid girl for Maverick before the race.
Paris celebrated the accomplishments of her team at Valencia, but she also paid tribute to fallen rider Marco Simoncelli.
Paris tweeted:
"In honor of The #MotoGP Legend Marco Simoncelli, I am wearing his #58. You are in all our hearts & minds."
Hilton also presented a painting in honor of Marco.
Paris tweeted:
"Standing up on the podium at The #Motogp Finals with all the winners felt amazing! So proud of my rider for winning First Place! #YES!"
Hilton hasn't announced any specific plans for 2012, but it doesn't look like she'll be leaving the MotoGP.
The star tweeted:
"I love expanding my business empire. Especially in the field of MotoGP sports. So exciting to watch!"
Hilton got a lot of criticism for starting a MotoGP team at the start of the year, because, well, she's Paris Hilton. And apparently being a reality star negates your ability to own a team. But Hilton brings attention, money, and racing talent to the sport. If she can continue to put riders on the podium, any criticism of Hilton in the motorcycle world should start to vanish.

Some people make fun of her because of this, but I think its great. She's supporting talented young riders and getting the sport more exposure. Now her team is winning!

She's not the first hollywood star to own a team, Antonio Banderas owned Jack &Jones Racing with American rider Kenny Noyes riding in 2010. I'd much rather look at Antonio than duckface. But whatever brings fans to the sport, props to them.
