Maria Costello joins forces with BMW Motorrad to offer female trackday experiences. - Malcolm - 26-02-2016 ![]() Maria Costello MBE with over 60 women at her successful event at Donington Park in July 2015. By Ales James Photography.
BMW Motorrad UK and Maria Costello MBE have joined forces to offer a female-only group at three BMW Motorrad Track Days run with Focused Events in 2016. The track days will be suitable for all abilities from novice to expert.
Women Only Events with Maria Costello:
Maria Costello is a new brand ambassador for BMW Motorrad UK and has been racing a BMW S 1000 RR since the 2015 season - and she will be competing again at the Ulster GP and other international Road Racing events during 2016. Her experience as a road racing and short circuit rider make her the ideal person to help encourage more women to take part in track-based events. ![]() Maria Costello said:
“I'm very excited to have the support of BMW Motorrad UK in growing my track days for women. This partnership means we can take the events to three different circuits in a single year and one of those is in Europe. Last year the number of women attending grew dramatically and I saw every woman who took part improved as a rider and become more confident on two wheels. "It introduced the circuit as a place to learn and improve and it was so incredible to see so many take to the track for the first time. It's the perfect controlled environment to improve your riding and I will be working hard to make sure more women become empowered on two wheels through these events in 2016.” ![]() By Tremaine Gregg
The events are open to riders on any appropriate motorcycle for track riding, with BMW S 1000 RRs available to hire. Additionally Maria will be joining BMW Motorrad UK for their European Trackday at Portimao in Portugal on 12-13 November 2016.
