Marin Motorsport Supports Sidecar Teams Affected by TT Races Cancellation
We at Steve’s Place have some news in today from Boris Stroud of Marin Motorsport.
Both the sidecar races at the 2026 Isle of Man TT have been cancelled for this year due to safety concerns after a recent series of accidents – thought to have possibly been due to the design and high speed of the latest TT sidecars rather than driver error.
Boris and Marin Motorsport have a financial proposal to help out the sidecar teams who are not going to be racing now due to the suspension of the racing for this year.
“Myself and all at Marin Motorsport have heard with disappointment the cancellation of the two sidecar races this year at the Isle of Man TT.
Boris Stroud
We really feel deeply for all The Sidecar Teams, their sponsors and families who have spent immeasurable time and a lot of money to prepare for this year’s TT races for it to all end so abruptly.
With this in mind we propose to put a fund of £50,000 to be shared equally amongst all the sidecar teams and will begin work as soon as possible with the TT event organisers to arrange how this can be distributed between all the teams”.
Update from Boris 20:20 29th May
“As of this evening Marin have reached out to MHK Tim Glover in IOM to look at the best way of dispatchment of funds to the teams our MD Ms Bonny Hazen, will await further meeting to discuss various option to support the teams. Please all share.”
All I can say personally is a very big thank you to Boris, I am sure that this will be gratefully received by all the Teams – Steve E.
