2025 FIM Sidecar World Championship FIM International Court of Appeal Decision
Following round seven of the 2025 FIM Sidecar World Championship checks were made by FIM officials that identified potential infringements of the relevant technical regulations. As a result of further investigations by an independent institution, the FIM Sidecar World Championship International Jury found Team Steinhausen Racing #1 machine as non-compliant with the 2025 FIM Sidecar World Championship Technical Regulations (Article 2.3.4) and were disqualified from the whole event.
After having been notified of the disqualification, Team Steinhausen Racing lodged an appeal against the decision of the FIM International Jury to the FIM International Court of Appeal (CAI), in accordance with Article 5 of the 2025 FIM Disciplinary Code.
Subsequently the CAI has rejected the appeal filed by Team Steinhausen (Payne/Rousseau) and upheld the FIM International Jury’s decision of 14 November 2025.

Now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations are over its time to start thinking about the most important thing of all…this year’s racing.
Classic Bike Trackdays are offering the opportunity for sidecars to go testing at Anglesey Circuit on 23rd and 24th May. This is a great opportunity for some last minute TT testing or to run those engines in before the CRMC Snetterton Sidecar Showdown!
Sidecars will be offered three sessions per day, running the international circuit on the Saturday and the national circuit on the Sunday. It is a chance to try out some different outfits, do a bit of passenger/driver swapping and for novices to have some stress free track time.
The cost for the weekend is £140, with shared garages on offer at a cost of £25. Six tickets will be allocated per Sidecar team with more available on request. Classic Bike Trackdays have loved having us there in previous years and are looking forward to welcoming us again this year!
They can fit 20+ outfits on the grid if interest is there, but we need a minimum of 10 committed teams for them to run the grid.
Anyone interested, please comment or drop me a message and I will get a list of names to Darin, these need to be in place by the end of January for us to have a guaranteed grid.
🏆 Hoosier Hero 2026 🏆
From Crowe Racing
We honestly can’t thank everyone enough for the incredible support that helped us win the Hoosier Hero 2026 Award. This achievement truly wouldn’t have been possible without the encouragement, belief, and help from so many people along the way.
A massive thank you to all our friends, supporters, and sponsors who have backed us, helped us push forward, and played a huge part in turning our dream into reality. Every bit of support has meant more to us than we can ever put into words.
We’d also like to say a special thank you to the Hoosier team, who have been absolutely amazing throughout this journey. Your kindness and support have been incredible — especially Julie and Kayla, thank you both so much for everything you’ve done for us.
We’re incredibly grateful to be part of such an amazing community.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🏁
