hopefully it will, he was very good with dan in the chair the boys did well on their first outing together too well.. fair play to them, would be great to see them join the team.

Should do. An ACU licence for racing a solo or being a sidecar driver is one and the same. Although he doesn't race on an ACU licence.

I would have thought this would have only worked if MD didn't race solo's. I would hate for him to take a totally wrong line for a sidecar after finishing a solo practice. WE all know how automatic it can be at times, this has to be a risk. As much as I would love to see it I just don't think you can do both especially at somewhere like the TT. BUT if someone was going to do it I would definately think it would be MD that would try it.

The lines that both a 600 and the sidy ain't that far away from each other.

You just have to leave a bit of room for the sidecar.

I dont think its the sidecar he will have trouble with its the Solo when he comes to his breaking points. The first thing you notice after being on an outfit is you cant stop as well on a solo as you can on the F2!
Best of luck

A certain Mr Dixon never had problems switching between solo's and sidecars at the same meeting.
