Hi Peak go cross discipline

Hi Peak Racing has returned to action with a cross discipline team consisting of both a rally car and a road bike.

On the bike side of things the team has signed up with 25-year-old Maria Costello. Costello is currently the fastest woman to lap the Manx Grand Prix and the second fastest around the TT course. She will be riding a Hi Peak sponsored Martin Bullock 2003 Honda CBR600 and aims to move up a place and become the fastest woman on the TT circuit.

Building on previous journalistic and PR work Costello will also be acting as the teams press officer. She has already secured coverage for the team on Channel 5, Sky Sports, and the Rally UK programme on Granada Men & Motors, where the rally crew will be featured in all eight programmes.

The rally team is made up of 24-year-old Driver Richard Hill, and 23-year-old Navigator Daniel Stone. The pair have already been doing well and are currently rank just outside the top 100 rally drivers in the Britain. But with the Hi Peak sponsorship they are looking to place high in the Under 25 class of the National Clubmans BTRDA Rally Championships and finally break in to the top 100 drivers.
