QUEEN of Bikers Maria Costello MBE is the latest personality to join the line-up for this year’s Prescott Bike Festival on Sunday, April 17.
Maria is best known for being the female TT lap record holder and first woman to secure a podium finish at the Manx Grand Prix.
She has also held the Guinness World Record as the fastest woman to lap the Isle of Man TT Course, with an average speed of 114.73mph, and is currently the fastest female around the Ulster Grand Prix course. Maria was awarded an MBE in 2009 for services to motorcycling.
This will be Maria’s debut at Prescott and she is really looking forward to taking to the historic hill climb course near Cheltenham.
Prescott Bike Festival is a celebration of man and machine with large displays of historic, modern and racing bikes.
There’s also a whole raft of entertainment including live music, stunt shows, biker celebrity appearances and hundreds of trade stands.
What’s more it helps to raise vital money and awareness for the Blood Bike charities.
