ISLE OF MAN – The landscape of the Sidecar class is shifting, with fresh talent rising as a new generation stakes its claim
New winners, breakthrough podiums, thrilling newcomers, and emotional farewells – last year’s Sidecar races had it all. The landscape of the class is shifting, with fresh talent rising as a new generation stakes its claim.
The sidecar races were introduced to the Isle of Man TT Races as far back as 1923, and have been ever-present since 1954, gaining a loyal following of fans along the way. The intervening decades have seen a number of significant changes to sidecar regulations, but the class has always evolved and moved forward, driven not just by those who strive to be the fastest, but also those who wish to engineer a race-winning machine.
Sixteen years after his debut, 14-time winner Ben Birchall is eagerly looking forward to his latest Isle of Man TT Races campaign, which gets underway next week, with the Mansfield driver gunning for further success with new passenger Patrick Rosney.
The duo recently concluded their preparations with their Hager/Wyckham Blackwell LCR Honda for the world-famous event, which takes place on the 37 and ¾-mile Mountain Course, with Birchall hopeful of his 15th TT win and first without younger brother Tom.
Maria Costello MBE will make her 17th appearance at the Isle of Man TT Races later this year and her 37th start on both two and three wheels.
The Northamptonshire rider will contest both Metzeler/Entire Cover insurance Supertwin TT races on a Galgorm Resort branded VRS Racing Kawasaki Z650 and will again line up in the two 3wheeling.Media Sidecar TT races onboard her own Galgorm LCR Honda F2.
Costello, now in her 30th year of motorcycle racing, will be joined by Alice Smith, the 20-year-old set to tackle the 37 and ¾-mile Mountain Course for the very first time and the pairing have been building up to this, their biggest challenge on three wheels, since they started racing together in 2023.
Today’s guest is Harry Payne, a racer with speed in his veins.
Coming from a true racing family, Harry moved to the Isle of Man in 2016 to chase his dream on the legendary Mountain Course.
He started as a sidecar passenger, teaming up with icons like Dave Molyneux, before making the switch to the driver’s seat—a move that proved to be a game-changer.
Harry’s journey has been nothing short of incredible and in 2024, alongside Kevin Rousseau, he clinched the FIM Sidecar World Championship in a nail-biting season finale.
Now, as he gears up to defend that title in 2025, we get the inside story on the highs, the challenges, and the passion that drives him forward.
Dave Molyneux, the most successful Sidecar competitor in TT history, has been appointed into a new role within the race organisation following his retirement from competition earlier this year.
The 17-time TT winner announced his retirement from racing at the conclusion of 2024 event, where he signed off with a 31st and final podium finish.
