The Place

What team has had the same driver passenger combination for the longest time? Without a different passenger?

This came up as until a few weeks ago, Matt had never raced with another passenger until yours truly put his fat arse on the back that's twenty years of only ever having Ade on in a race.

Lenny Pallister and Ian Marriner

How long were they together ? With no stand ins?

Wasn't this question discussed quite some time ago? I can't remember the final outcome but I know Rod Bellas and Geoff Knight were one of the pairings mentioned.

If you mean a driver riding without any stand-in passengers during the time, then I'm guessing that twenty years is going to be difficult to beat. I know Rod and Geoff rode together for many years, but Rod has definitely had other passengers in that period (Geoff did a season or two of driving in the mid 80's, and I remember Rod having a couple of stand-in passengers in later years too - Jeremy Snowden, Eddie van Beveran, Steve Taylor). Similarly with Dick Hawes and Eddy Kiff.

Without a break is the key point. I'm sure there are others who have been together a long time, or raced together again after a long break

I'm asking because I can't think of anyone, the usual "more experienced" named come up but most have moved around at least a little.

cant only be me whos had to suffer this much for so long

Rolf Biland & Kurt Waltisperg?

Perhaps John and Susan Longmore?

I think they've been going close to that kind of time.........

Rolf Steinhausen and Sepp Huber?

Agree with Dave Stewart , John and Sue been together years in old terms possibly Dick Hawes/eddy Kiff ?

Just asked Sue Longmore and John has had a couple of stand-in's when she wasn't able to race - so not the longest standing.

jim norbury norman elcock 1978/1996.

uhhhmmm..."sidecars" or "threewheelers"...? The Morgans race with VMCC/BHR for a very long time, how about Bill & Maggie Tuer?

How long? Sounds long
