The picturesque parkland venue of Oulton Park is the scene for the opening round of the 2023 British Sidecar Championship with two races on the schedule alongside the Bennetts British Superbikes.

****ATTENTION ALL SIDECARS****
We are announcing a special discount for Snetterton entries today….
The discount is funded by the friends and family of George Paget, from his estate. George sadly passed last October, aged 80 and was a keen follower of motorsport especially at his local Snetterton. In particular, he had a soft-spot for Sidecars, so the plan, in his memory, is to offer all Sidecar entrants to the Snetterton May meeting a discount off the entry fee.

A new season began for the A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship at Croft over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd April with N.E.M.C..R.C.. Reigning Champions Pete Founds / Jevan Walmsley (LCR Honda) showed that they meant business from the outset, topping the timesheets in every session – landing pole, both race wins and a new F2 lap record in an unblemished start to their campaign.
Meanwhile, in the F2 Cup, whilst not taking championship points, wild cards Kieran Clark / Andrew Johnson (Windle Yamaha) put their thirty year old carburetted outfit way in front of the registered teams, mixing it with the top Super F2 teams in both outings, providing some excellent entertainment.

Statement Issued 24/03/23
Following intense negotiations over the last week in regards to sidecars not being covered within the UC Insurance policy, we can confirm negotiations with insurers have now been completed.
Within these negotiations it has been agreed that a strict and robust risk management plan must be implemented in regards to side car competitors and machines going forward, with highly detailed documentation being formed and presented throughout this year.
With agreement reached on this, we are pleased to say side cars will now be able to compete at MCUI UC events in 2023.
We now all need to look forward and address insurance company concerns together as a centre throughout 2023, should we want racing to continue in 2024.
