The renowned motorcycle transmission and gearbox specialists who already supply many of the racing gear kits seen in British Superbikes, Supersport and to teams at the Isle of Man TT will be supporting Maria in her 2016 road racing campaign, focusing on developing the Northamptonshire racer's Kawasaki ER6 Supertwin.

Costello commented: 

“This season I’ll be aiming to achieve a new personal best lap at the Isle of Man TT races on my Kawasaki ER Supertwin in the TT Lightweight race. I strongly believe that using the Nova Racing close ratio gearbox will be the biggest element of making this new goal attainable. Nova Racing has been involved in motorcycle gearboxes since the late 1980s and has a rich history specialising in gearing solutions on both classic and modern motorcycles. I’m so pleased and confident that having this technical partner onboard will help me reach new racing goals in 2016.”

Mick Dearlove, spokesperson for Nova Racing added: 

“We believe that collaborating with Maria Costello, an experienced road racer, will be a huge positive for both parties and this will help increase our already strong pedigree in motorcycle racing."

Nova Racing’s success record at the TT will no doubt be reassuring for Costello, when she returns to the iconic 37.73 mile circuit in June. Maria has performed strongly in the Supertwin class on the Isle of Man and has new personal goals to reach this year: 

“I love everything about the TT; The circuit, the fans, the challenge. It holds a special place in my heart. The Lightweight class has become ultra-competitive and this year I’m focusing on developing my Supertwin to it’s highest standard ever, so it's perfect to have Nova Racing onboard as my technical partner. I’ll, as every year, be working hard on my personal preparation with my coach Jack Fleckney at CrossFit EastNorthants and hypnotherapist Christian Baker, doing all that I can to make this my best season yet.”
