Muklada Sarapuech (Thai: มุกข์ลดา สารพืช, born 8 September 1993) is a Thai motorcycle racer who currently competes in the FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship and the Spanish (ESBK) Yamaha R7 Cup.
Biography
Sarapuech was born on 8 September 1993 in Pathum Thani, Thailand.[1] She started riding motorcycles at ten years old.[2]
Racing Career
At the age of 12, Sarapuech started racing mini motos. She also raced scooters in her early years. She moved up to the 125 motorcycle class[3] in the FMSCT Thailand Championship in 2012, and won three races the following year.[4]
In 2014, Sarapuech competed in the Asia Talent Cup, finishing the season in 15th place.[5]
Sarapuech won the 2015 Asia Dream Cup, the first female to win an ARRC title.[6] After winning the title she was invited to compete in the two final rounds of the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship at Jerez and Valencia, however injuries prevented her from competing.[2]
Competing in the JP250 class of the All Japan Road Race Championship in 2016, Sarapuech finished fourth overall.[7] Switching to the AP250 class of the ARRC, she finished tenth in 2017.[6] In 2018, she became the first female to win a race in the class[2] and finished the season seventh overall. She was fourth in 2019 with six podiums and two wins.[6]
Unable to compete in the Suzuka 4 Hours Endurance Race in 2018 due to injuries, Sarapuech won the race in 2019, being the first female to do so.[2] The race was held in heavy rain and due to treacherous conditions was shortened to 2 hours 40 minutes.[8]
Sarapuech was confirmed to race in the SuperSports 600cc class of the 2020 ARRC for AP Honda Racing Thailand.[6] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, racing was suspended in 2020 and 2021. When racing returned in 2022 Sarapuech competed 2 races in the SS600 class of the ARRC.[9] Returning to the AP250 class in 2023 she finished the season 5th.[10]
WorldWCR
The EEST NJT Racing Team contacted Sarapuech in January 2026 with an offer to race for them in WorldWCR. However, the entry list for 2026 was already closed. Organisers Dorna were keen to have an Asian rider in the series so allowed her to ride as a wildcard.[3]
Sarapuech also completed in the ESBK (Spanish Superbikes) Yamaha R7 Cup in 2026.[11]
