I've heard it's easy ;-) :lol:

Re: British F1 new team Announcement in MCN tomorrow (Wed 13th)

Chris Walker racing an F1 sidecar can only be good for the sport and MK Racing look forward to competing with him this year. That said John has a point rules are rules and should they be broken for the sake of the benefits they bring ? If you think yes where do you stop? My youngest son is an ace ...

Re: Long and Short 600s.

You want an opinion ok. Changing f1 world championship to 600cc will not increase the number of entrants on the grid, to do that is a much greater challenge as it involves promoters putting up money. So come on FIM leave the tech regs alone and start searching for that elusive benefactor. There you ...

Re: NG cancel sidecars at Castle Coombe

Not entered therefore this does not affect me , however , I am led to believe from social network sites that NG have also cancelled the open newcomers races. So just for my curiosity can someone tell me what races are being put on instead of those that have been cancelled so that there is a greater ...

Re: Yokohama tyres the facts / part 2

It doesn't bother me either cos I race F1, but I was in Mikes workshop when these pictures were taken and can confirm the tyres were on rims,5.5 front,6 rear, and pressured correctly. So the pictures before you are as Mike says "the facts"

Re: Sidecar TT

Forgive an F1 guy from butting in here but if the British Championship stays as is, that means one set of motors for that and one set for the TT. Wonder what that will do for the entry list at the TT? Also while Im on, what truth is there in the rumour that the British is to run Yokohama Radial as a ...
