Marie Hodgson is a British road racer who carved out her place among the fastest women to ever tackle the Isle of Man’s legendary mountain course, competing against the clock and the blokes with equal grit across multiple Manx Grand Prix and Southern 100 campaigns.

OTHER INTERESTS

Details regarding Marie Hodgson’s interests outside of motorcycle racing have not been publicly documented.

EARLY SUCCESS

Hodgson first appeared on the Isle of Man racing scene in 2005, making her debut at the Senior Manx Grand Prix aboard a Yamaha and tackling the notoriously steep Bray Hill with the kind of nerve that turns spectators into believers[1]. She returned to the MGP in subsequent years, steadily building her reputation on the unforgiving 37.73-mile mountain course that has humbled far more experienced riders. By 2008, she was posting practice times that put her solidly in the mix, recording a 22’34.88″ lap at 100.25 mph during Senior practice sessions[2].

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2005: Competed in the Senior Manx Grand Prix on a Yamaha, navigating Bray Hill in her MGP debut[1].
2009: Finished 28th in the Ultra Lightweight MGP with a time of 1:31:39.00[3].
2009: Placed 44th in the Senior MGP, clocking 1:32:05.00[3].
2009: Competed at the Southern 100 on a Yamaha[4].
2010: Finished 42nd in the Junior Manx Grand Prix with a 21’04” lap time and an overall race time of 1:04:36.30, averaging 105.122 mph[5][6].
2010: Placed 31st in the Senior MGP with a time of 1:23:36.00[3][5].
2010: Competed in the Ultra-Lightweight MGP but did not finish (DNF)[5].
2010: Raced at the Southern 100 on a Suzuki, navigating Church Bends with precision[7].
2017: Competed in the Southern 100 on a 600 Yamaha, finishing with six laps at an average speed of 91.964 mph and a fastest lap of 2:42.474 at 94.169 mph[8].

INSPIRATIONS

Specific inspirations that drew Marie Hodgson to road racing have not been publicly shared.

REPUTATION

Hodgson earned recognition as one of the fastest two women racing at the TT course in recent times, a distinction that led American team owner Todd Kollin to bring her together with fellow British racer Carolynn Sells for Team ElectricMotorsport.com’s TTXGP campaign[9]. Her consistent presence across multiple years of Manx Grand Prix and Southern 100 competition—on everything from 600cc Yamahas to Suzukis—demonstrated the kind of staying power and versatility that separates weekend warriors from serious road racers. While the official Isle of Man TT database notes no biography is available for her[10], her race results speak plainly: she showed up, she raced hard, and she did it on one of the most dangerous race courses on the planet.
