2025 FIM Sidecar World Championship FIM International Court of Appeal Decision

Posted on by



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 ยฃ140, with shared garages on offer at a cost of ยฃ25. 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.

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

Posted on by

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
