COSTELLO & STOKOE RETURN TO SIDECAR RACING WITH NEW PERSONAL BEST

Posted on by

Maria Costello MBE made her return to racing after a year out of action and claimed a new personal best competing on her LCR Sidecar at the BMCRC-MRO Championships at Donington Park at the weekend.

The Northamptonshire racer’s entire schedule of road racing was scrapped this year because of the Covid19 crisis that shut down much of the country.

Posted on by

An article from Andrew ‘Angus’ Brooke

Ok it’s not a new page, it’s an old page reborn, being rebuilt. If you have a business that makes bits, sells bits or organises things sidecar related – anything that could be useful and you want it on the page for free,
send me a line here with a logo (if you have one of course)
