T.T., Manx Grand Prix and Classic T.T. competitor Maria Costello says she would love to see more women competing around the Mountain Course.
On International Women's Day, Maria says more females breaking into the male dominated world of road racing would be a really positive thing.

Maria is also proud of her own achievements which include the fastest lap before Jenny Tinmouth and two podiums at the Manx Grand Prix:-
