July 2023 Motorsports Archive – Top Stories and Fun Facts

Welcome to the July roundup from Blythswood Motorsports Hub. In just one month we covered everything from quirky ambulance questions to historic women riders, a mind‑blowing MotoGP statistic and the lyrics of a pop hit that got everyone dancing. Grab a coffee and see what you missed.

Who Can Ride in the Back of an Ambulance?

If you’ve ever wondered who gets to sit in the patient compartment of an ambulance, you’re not alone. The short answer: the patient, the EMTs, and sometimes a close family member for moral support. It isn’t a free‑for‑all ride; safety rules keep the space clear for medical gear and quick movement. Paramedics need room to perform life‑saving procedures, so strangers are usually turned away. And don’t worry – you won’t get a ticket for asking, just a polite “no thanks” if you’re not part of the care team.

Pioneering Women, Catchy Lyrics, and Jaw‑Dropping MotoGP Facts

Back in the 1930s a bold lady named Dorothy “Dot” Robinson broke into motorcycle racing when most tracks were men‑only zones. She didn’t just race; she won and helped launch the Motor Maids, the oldest women’s bike club in North America. Dot’s story shows that passion can smash any stereotype, and she paved the way for countless women on two wheels today.

Switching gears to pop culture, you might recall Doja Cat’s “Say So” featuring Nicki Minaj. The track’s lyrics are all about confidence and flirting – think catchy hooks and a rap verse that tells you to own your vibe. While the song isn’t about racing, its high energy mirrors the adrenaline rush we feel on the track, making it a perfect soundtrack for a pit‑stop playlist.

Now for a MotoGP fact that’ll make you gulp. During a single race a rider can lose up to four litres of fluid through sweat, push their heart rate past 200 beats per minute, and endure forces of up to five G when braking. That’s more pressure than an astronaut feels on a launch. It explains why riders look like they’re battling a wild beast every lap – they really are.

All these stories share one theme: pushing limits, whether it’s a medical crew, a trailblazing woman, a pop star’s bold lyrics, or a rider fighting gravity. Each post from July gives you a slice of that daring spirit we love at Blythswood Motorsports.
