Full house of dates for 2022 FIM Sidecar World Championship
After a difficult yet nonetheless very successful 2021 season which saw Markus Schlosser and Marcel Fries crowned champions, Roger Body and his RKB-F1 management team in conjunction with the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme are delighted to announce a full eight-round Championship for 2022. With most European countries now well advanced in their Covid-19 vaccination programmes, there is a real sense of optimism that the global pandemic which has so severely affected sport and travel, will not disrupt arrangements and plans for a full racing season.

UPDATE: Donington Park added, see here
The 2022 British Sidecar Championship roars into action with two races at Oulton Park in the traditional opener over the weekend of April 30-May 2nd.

A top priority has been to offer all teams the opportunity to compete in both championships with a real chance of succeeding in both.

Have you thought about inflating leathers?

“Having been in discussions with BKS Leathers they are confident that they can utilise the Alpinestars Tech-Air technology for sidecar drivers, but unfortunately not for the passenger.”
What do you think? Would you use them? I think if I was a driver I would… and thank you Graham for asking the question!

All roads lead to Estoril and double points 29-31 October
The Circuito do Estoril, located about nine kilometres outside the Portuguese Capital Lisbon is home to the final round of the 2021 Championship.

The late cancellation of the UK Brands Hatch round means that there is an even greater sense of urgency for those teams at the top of the standings.
