Steve Abbott, – a great read from Fred Clarke THE Commentator.

Over the years, Britain has produced many of the finest & fastest sidecar racers in the world, and in 2002, Derbyshire’s Steve Abbott & passenger Jamie Biggs joined that illustrious band of Sidecar World Champions.

Today a spritely & fit looking 70year old, Steve’s initial intention was to give racing a go on a solo TZ250 Yamaha, but bowed to his friend Shaun Smith’s suggestion to try sidecars instead. The duo’s first race being in 1977 at Cadwell Park.

Straight off, he proved to be a gifted driver, and in less than three seasons Steve & Shaun were already making their GP debut, at Silverstone.

Their maiden ‘foreign’ GP was to be at the Belgian circuit of Spa Francorchamps in 1982, finishing an impressive 5th just ahead of former double World Champion, Rolf Steinhausen…..who’s son Jorg, would be the main adversary of Steve in the battle for the 2002 World Crown.

The Events Calendar has been updated for 2026

Myself and Mark have been collecting race dates in preparation for 2026. All the dates we have found so far are now on the events calendar.

There is a link in the menu up top – a drop down for a list, monthly or day selections.

We have added 158 events so far to THIS LIST and more will be added as they become available.

Unusually, most dates are already in. Northern Sidecar Cup has published an optional list but not the final 6 confirmed, and the World Championship has only confirmed half so far but apart from that we are not far off.

If there is a series you want included that is missing please let us know!

The list of dates as we collect them is on the forum here – so if what you’re looking for isn’t already on the calendar try there

British Sidecar Championship

The dull, grey weather prevailing over recent days persisted into Kent for the SSD sponsored Brands Hatch finale. Friday saw free practice kicking off the action with Lewis Blackstock/Oscar Lawrence setting the standard ahead of Harry Payne/Kevin Rousseau. The defending world champions were again crowned 2025 FIM Champions in the final round at Oschersleben but were later the subject of an alleged technical infringement. At the time of going to press, the result of that investigation remained unresolved, so the title is still in limbo, subject to the final decision expected next week.
