The world motorcycling championship seems certain to attract a few more headlines next season after Paris Hilton put her name to a new team.

The SupermartXe VIP by Paris Hilton team was unveiled by the hotel chain heiress in Madrid and will compete in the 125cc category from 2011-2013.

Hilton has agreed to attend at least five races next season.

"I can't believe I have my own racing team! So cool! :)" Hilton posted on Twitter while at the launch.

Hilton wore a cleavage-bearing, pink and white, rhinestone-studded racing suit at the launch.

Team riders Sergio Gadea and Maverick Vinales are expected to wear more reserved outfits.

The bike's livery is pink, white and blue.
