Update from Maria

It’s not been easy to give you updates for many reasons, mainly because this is just so hard for me to take in right now. So thank you for your patience.



I can tell you I have moved hospitals and some rehab has started but I’m still waiting to go to a specialist hospital. The bruising has gone, my wrist has been plated but some bones are still mending.



I don’t have a lot more to share now but I be taking you on this journey with me, as I don’t think I can do it without you because your support so far has absolutely made the difference.

This weekend is the Goodwood Festival of Speed (I’m missing everyone so bad)!

My heartfelt thanks go to The Duke of Richmond for sharing my fundraiser page during the event. I also want to thank Duncan Pittaway for his part in raising more funds. This all means so much right now.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, every contribution really will make a difference. If you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing my fundraising page instead.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Big love ❤️ Maria

Hi Folks

Could you all share, as my Facebook page was kindly taken down by FB, for no reason!!
2026 TT UPDATE
Following the suspension of the Sidecar class for TT 2026, I have been in contact with the Department for Enterprise, As you may all know, in many government’s it’s very difficult to manage external subjects in light of the cancellation for a third party.


Hence the reason for the length delay (Apologies) Facebook disabled my ‘’Boris Stroud’’ account
As previous I quoted I would work with IOM Gov and approached them as a benefactor wishing to make a financial contribution to all Sidecar teams for 2926 cancelled TT .


As it stands I ‘’George Stroud (Boris) of Marin TM Ltd’’ has been and is still a long-time supporter of Sidecar racing globally who I’m sure many of you are already familiar with me and our/my support. (For Facebook to Sort) 



As with any typical Travel Allowance or Prize Fund payments from IOM and the TT , a single payment is being offered to each team and will be payable to the Driver from Marin.
Once the entry contact list is completed we will have this sorted for you. 



This also applies to Any team who wishes to accept this offer is asked to send the following information to – PM me or go direct to e mail administration@marin-tm.co.uk

• Driver’s Name (name for payment account)
• Driver’s Postal Address
• Start number at TT 2026
• Driver’s contact telephone number

Please all do me favour and share this wide for all who may have missed this due to Facebook taking my page down.

TIA Boris

From Fred Clarke, THE commentator

The name Nick Harris will surely be remembered by many Moto GP fans as the ‘Voice of MotoGP’.
For the period 1999 to 2017, Nick provided the excellent, informative commentary on the official live World feed of Moto GP, as well as conducting all post-race Press Conferences.
                   ……………….but how many I wonder, know that Nick was an experienced Isle of Man TT sidecar passenger??

Er, well, perhaps not that ‘experienced’……..possibly a bit of an exaggeration on my part……….but he did at least have the distinction of completing one lap of the Mountain Course alongside Trevor Ireson during practice for the 1981 sidecar TT.
