SIDECAR TT REGULATIONS

This was from October 21st Email..

Last month, the Isle of Man Government Department for Enterprise, as promoters of the Isle of Man TT Races, invited competitors and relevant parties to contribute towards a review of the Technical Regulations for the Sidecar class. The Department would like to thank those who took the time to reply.

The proposed changes were intended to allow the class to expand and bring more variation to the start line, especially taking into account the difficulty and cost of obtaining a 600cc, 4-stroke engine. The Race Management Team have considered all responses and have also taken into account the current pandemic and the financial position this will leave some teams.

As a result, no changes will be made to the 2021 Sidecar TT Technical Regulations. However, the regulations will be amended for TT 2022 to allow 4-stroke, parallel-twin cylinder engines up to a maximum of 900cc.

Kind Regards

Links to BSB and Bemsee Live Timing

Instead of tucked away in the Race Office which is at least another 2 clicks away.. I have put live timing on the front here on the Directory button for BSB And Bemsee.

It SHOULD show both live timing sessions when they’re live and have links to TSL for the results pages.

If you encounter any problems let me know, it’s working for me but that is no guarantee.

Cheers!

THIS IS NOT A SALES PITCH, instead I want to inform. I have no issues with other systems, or second hand kit, but sometimes deals aren’t as good as they appear.

Snetterton 300 circuit welcomes round two 21-23 August

Finally, the wait to re-join the BSB paddock is over for the Molson Group British Sidecar Championship. Round two takes us to one of the most popular and sidecar friendly tracks on the BSB tour.

The Snetterton 300 circuit has plenty of wide-open spaces to observe social distancing, and a super-fast race environment which always delivers great on-track action.

With a truncated five round, ten race season now fixed, there will be no room for error. The opener at Cadwell Park is already behind us, with scores firmly on the board for all the top runners. 

Two weeks ago, in Lincolnshire, former champions Steve Kershaw, now with new passenger Ryan Charlwood (Santander Salt/Quattro Yamaha), took double victory ahead of his team-mates and reigning champions Todd Ellis and Charlie Richardson (Santander Salt Honda).
