From TT success on two wheels, Maria's now turning her hand to 3 wheels and the sidecars, where she's equally rapid and shows no sign of slowing down! Refreshingly humble throughout, despite the glittering Costello trophy cabinet, this is a brilliant episode and hopefully stories like this will help inspire more young women to follow their dreams and take up a career in motorsport! ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/full-chat-6881584/episodes/s4-ep4-maria-costello-i-m-incredibly-proud-to-have-held-the-female-tt-lap-record-for-5-years/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/full-chat-6881584/s4-ep4-maria-costello-i-m-incredibly-proud-to-have-held-the-female-tt-lap-record-for-5-years.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
