Maria Costello is determined to once again become the fastest woman around the Isle of Man TT course.
The Northamptonshire racer lost the title to Jenny Tinmouth last year, but, speaking in the latest TT Newsletter, Costello says she is looking to regain the honour in 2010.
Tinmouth, from Cheshire, took the top spot on lap four of the 2009 Senior TT when she completed the circuit at an average speed of 116.835mph.
Costello, who was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday honours in 2009, told the TT Newsletter she wants the crown back this year.
She says:
“I can’t wait to race at the TT again in 2010 and I’m really looking forward to the challenge of trying to become the fastest women around the course again.”
She will have a battle on her hands to regain the title as Tinmouth, also speaking in the TT Newsletter, has confirmed she will also be lining up for action at the 2010 TT.
She says:
“I’m already looking forward to coming back next year for some more racing between the hedges.”
