Marin Motorsport Supports Sidecar Teams Affected by TT Races Cancellation

Posted on by

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 possilby 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.

TT26… After a long and disappointing discussion we as a team and family have unfortunately had to make the decision not to compete at the 2026 Isle of Man TT.

Anybody involved in racing knows how much time, effort and commitment goes into preparing for an event like this, so naturally this is hugely disappointing for everyone connected to the project. and we genuinely believed we were in a strong position heading into the season.

I want to thank the whole team, our sponsors, partners and everybody who has supported us along the way. Your backing and belief certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Sometimes  things simply don’t work out the way you hope, and that’s part of racing and life in general.



For now, our attention turns towards the rest of the season and continuing to do what we love. We’ll keep working hard, keep racing, and look ahead to what the future may bring.

Thanks again for all the messages and support.

Over the years, Britain has produced many of the finest & fastest sidecar racers in the world, and in 2002, Derbyshire’s Steve Abbott & passenger Jamie Biggs joined that illustrious band of Sidecar World Champions.

Today a spritely & fit looking 70year old, Steve’s initial intention was to give racing a go on a solo TZ250 Yamaha, but bowed to his friend Shaun Smith’s suggestion to try sidecars instead. The duo’s first race being in 1977 at Cadwell Park.

Straight off, he proved to be a gifted driver, and in less than three seasons Steve & Shaun were already making their GP debut, at Silverstone.

Their maiden ‘foreign’ GP was to be at the Belgian circuit of Spa Francorchamps in 1982, finishing an impressive 5th just ahead of former double World Champion, Rolf Steinhausen…..who’s son Jorg, would be the main adversary of Steve in the battle for the 2002 World Crown.

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.
