A message from Steve at GWR Motorsport

Hi all, just to let you know I’m back in circulation. Having been out of action for a few years with prostrate cancer and a serious road accident I thought I would let you all know I’m back in the sidecar world.

As before I can offer a high level wiring harness design and build service, including advice and suppling MoTeC devices, sensors etc.
We combine this with our renowned commissioning and support of MoTeC systems.

I thought I would start with seeing if there is any interest in people, drivers, passengers, wives, girlfriends, mechanics, anybody attending one of my MoTeC training courses.

They would be run along very similar lines to the previous ones, 2 days of a weekend, with the 1st day on engine ECU’s & dashboards and the 2nd looking at data logging.

Thinking of trying to get something organised before the TT if possible, let me know on steve@gwrmotorsport.com, thanks Steve

The picturesque parkland venue of Oulton Park is the scene for the opening round of the 2023 British Sidecar Championship with two races on the schedule alongside the Bennetts British Superbikes.

A change of the rules allowing short and long outfits to compete on level terms has resulted in a strong field, thereby addressing the problem of last season which saw a recurrence of dwindling grids.

From Bemsee..

****ATTENTION ALL SIDECARS****

We are announcing a special discount for Snetterton entries today….

The discount is funded by the friends and family of George Paget, from his estate. George sadly passed last October, aged 80 and was a keen follower of motorsport especially at his local Snetterton. In particular, he had a soft-spot for Sidecars, so the plan, in his memory, is to offer all Sidecar entrants to the Snetterton May meeting a discount off the entry fee.

A new season began for the A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship at Croft over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd April with N.E.M.C..R.C.. Reigning Champions Pete Founds / Jevan Walmsley (LCR Honda) showed that they meant business from the outset, topping the timesheets in every session – landing pole, both race wins and a new F2 lap record in an unblemished start to their campaign.

Meanwhile, in the F2 Cup, whilst not taking championship points, wild cards Kieran Clark / Andrew Johnson (Windle Yamaha) put their thirty year old carburetted outfit way in front of the registered teams, mixing it with the top Super F2 teams in both outings, providing some excellent entertainment.
