NOSTALGIA IN MOTION: DON’T MISS THE CLASSIC SIDECAR PARADE LAP

From TT Press Office

A celebration of sidecar racing’s golden era will take to the Mountain Course at the 2025 Classic TT, as an 18-strong line-up of iconic machines return to the Isle of Man for the Classic Sidecar Parade Lap. 

Taking place on Wednesday 27th August, this one-lap showcase promises a full sensory throwback to the sights, sounds, and smells of sidecar racing from the 1960s through to the 1980s.

From the crackle of two-strokes to the deep rumble of four-stroke BMWs, the parade brings together a truly unique mix of machines – two, three, and four-cylinder layouts, each steeped in history. Expect the unmistakable whiff of Castrol R, the clatter of spoked wheels down Bray Hill, and the sight of era-defining designs tackling the Mountain Course once more.

Important Announcement – Classic Sidecars at the Classic Motorcycle Festival 2/3 August 2025

The CRMC regrets to announce that the Classic Sidecar races at the Classic Motorcycle Festival at Donington Park on 2/3 August 2025 have been cancelled.This difficult decision has been made due to an insufficient number of sidecar entries received by the closing stages of planning. At the same time, many solo classes have attracted significant levels of reserve entries, placing increased pressure on available track time and scheduling.We understand that this news will be disappointing to sidecar teams, fans, and supporters. Please be assured that the CRMC remains fully committed to supporting and promoting classic sidecar racing. It continues to be an important and valued part of our events.This situation highlights the importance of entering early to help organisers accurately gauge interest and allocate track time accordingly. Entries for Darley Moor (6-7 September) are now open, and we strongly encourage all competitors to enter as early as possible to help avoid similar outcomes and ensure all classes are properly represented. May we add that all teams that entered Donington Park have been informed of this cancellation prior to this annoucement being released.Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing you at Donington Park and at the remaining CRMC meetings throughout the season. The timetable for the event is now on the website at https://www.crmc.co.uk/next-meeting/– CRMC (Classic Racing Motorcycle Club)
