Veteran Isle of Man TT racer Maria Costello has formed an all-female line-up for this year’s Sidecar races and is also due to contest the Supertw൲in class.

Coste🐟llo made her Isle of Man TT debut in 2002 and has been a constant at the event since, while in 2019 she made her first start in the Sidecar races.

She scored two top 20 finishes last year with Gary𓄧 Wheeler as a🍷 passenger, while this year she’ll take on rookie passenger Alice Smith.

Costello and Smith will contest both Sidecar races at the TT in 2025 on a Galgorm LCR Honda F2 outfit, while also racing in the Supertwin class on a VRS Racingᩚᩚ𝓰ᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Kawasaki.

She managed twꦿo finishes last year in the Supertwin class and has enjoyed a best ဣof 12th back in 2016.

“I’m really excited about this year’s TT, as much as I’ve ever b𒀰een, and I’m equally excit♉ed about what Alice and I can achieve,” Costello said.

“We did a few meetings together in 2023 and again in 2024, finishing on the podium and improving our lap times, so we are wo♕rking really together.

“Alice is on a super steep learning curve but she has talent and so much potentia🐟l, and her youthful exuberance rubs off on me!

“We’ve had some mechanical challenges to contend with in the run up to the TT but thanks to Wayne and my incredible spon♍sors we are really looking forward to this TT.

“Last year’s races didn’t go as well as I would have liked but with the VRS Supertwin and mod🍨ifications to the sidecar to improve the speed we should be in a better position 💎to build back up again and improve throughout the fortnight.

“I’m delighted to have Galgorm Resort on board as title sponsor for both disciplines and it’🅘s great to have them involved with my TT effort.”

As well as her racing duties at the𝄹 Isle of Man TT, 🤡in recent years Costello has also been a part of its live coverage.

This will be Costello’s 30𒈔th year of racing and her 17th time competing at the Isle of Man TT.
