Experienced Passenger Required For Southern 100 Road Races

Posted on by

Lee Crawford (Team A.R.C.) is seeking a committed and experienced passenger to compete at this year’s Southern 100 Races on the Isle Of Man (10th – 13th July).

The outfit is an immaculate brand new C.E.S. Suzuki, and has been prepared to the very highest specification, regardless of cost. (Obviously the outfit is being thoroughly tested at short circuit events prior to the Southern 100).

On their last visit to the Billown Circuit, Team A.R.C. placed third in the Sidecar Championship Final, with a fastest lap of 99.808mph. The team are hoping to build on these solid foundations, and will be looking for further podium placings this year.

If you are able to assist, please contact Lee directly on 07967596141 to discuss.

The “new look British Sidecar Championship” arrived in Cheshire with a full grid and a galaxy of stars lining up to kick-start the new season.


Three classes within each race were always going to stir the pot and that proved to be a popular and interesting development. The weather was initially kind for both free practice and qualifying, but that was not to last.

A message from Steve at GWR Motorsport

GWR Motorsport


Hi all, just to let you know I’m back in circulation. Having been out of action for a few years with prostrate cancer and a serious road accident I thought I would let you all know I’m back in the sidecar world.

As before I can offer a high level wiring harness design and build service, including advice and suppling MoTeC devices, sensors etc.
We combine this with our renowned commissioning and support of MoTeC systems.

I thought I would start with seeing if there is any interest in people, drivers, passengers, wives, girlfriends, mechanics, anybody attending one of my MoTeC training courses.

They would be run along very similar lines to the previous ones, 2 days of a weekend, with the 1st day on engine ECU’s & dashboards and the 2nd looking at data logging.

Thinking of trying to get something organised before the TT if possible, let me know on steve@gwrmotorsport.com, thanks Steve

A change of the rules allowing short and long outfits to compete on level terms has resulted in a strong field, thereby addressing the problem of last season which saw a recurrence of dwindling grids.

Bemsee Snetterton Discount

From Bemsee..

****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.
