Paula Alflatt is having a New Years Party in The Manor on the Saturday evening after Race A.

I'm not sure what the dress code is for New Year parties, christmas last year was a good one so we'll see what they come up with..

You will find the Manor easily from the Grandstand.. head up Greenfield Road which is over the road from the Grandstand, right hand side of the Cemetery. At the far end of Greenfield Road just before it turns right is School Road.. The Manor is just down in the dip along there on the left as the road curves right you can't miss it! Takes about 5 minutes to walk it. I know well...

NOW SORTED THANK YOU! - will leave this here for a little while as there are links to it that will get broken if it's removed

1923 saw the beginning of a long history of sidecar racing at the Isle of Man TT as Freddie Dixon and Walter Perry scored a famous victory in their banking Douglas outfit.

Graham Walker, father of commentating great Murray, was second in that pioneering race onboard a Norton combination.

After the initial flurry of interest numbers waned and the race was dropped after the 1925 meeting only to be revived once more in the ‘fifties, albeit on the shorter Clypse course to start with.

From then on the Sidecars have been a mainstay of the TT experience and many of the crews have been added to the list of TT greats such as Florian Camathias, Fritz Scheidegger, Eric Oliver, Stan Dibben, Siggi Schauzu, Jock Taylor and many more.

The 2013 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy will see the first ever sidecar only parade to honour this unique history.

Round 3 of the BMCRC/RKB-F1 Motorsport F1/F2 Sidecar Club Championship was held at Pembrey, South Wales. The team were looking to build on the performances at the previous round and push for some higher placed finishes. Pembrey is a circuit the team know well, although it would be a new circuit to Paul, Mart has raced there a number of times both as a driver and passenger so would able to bring Paul up to speed pretty quickly. However, the last time Mart had raced there in 2011, the outfit suffered a mechanical failure, which resulted in a massive crash along the pit wall and put an end to the season that year, so he would have to shake off the demons if they were to do well.
