Round three of the A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship sees the teams make a return to the immensely popular Oulton Park in rural Cheshire. It will be the first visit since a very wet season closing event in September 2019, and with similar conditions in 2018, it would be unsurprsing to see a third Super F2 lap record in 2023 broken in as many meetings if early season precedence is anything to go by.

Saturday 10th June saw round four of the F.S.R.A. Pre-Injection Sidecar Championship, supported by 1st Call Refrigeration heading to Merseyside, for their first visit in several seasons to Aintree – in scorching weather conditions. Uncertainties for those who had not raced at Aintree before were soon forgotten as what turned out to be a fantastic meeting got underway with three sidecar races. Alas, entries were a little down compared with other meetings, some due to technical issues and some due to clashing with the TT, but for those that attended this was a very rewarding experience.

This coming Saturday, Aintree M.C.R.C. invites the F.S.R.A. Pre-Injection Sidecar Championship to their second event of 2023 at the Aintree race circuit near Liverpool. The numbers are down from usual with nine entries to date, but this is mirrored by the club sidecar entries being down also with five entries. Both championships are missing teams over in the Isle of Man, helping or involved with the T.T. Races.

We wish to thank the Aintree Motor Cycle Racing club who have always supported sidecars.

Oliver’s Mount – Cock O’The North Road Races – Sidecar Entries

Posted on by

Entries have officially closed for the next event at Oliver’s Mount (Scarborough) on the 1st & 2nd July. However, there are still a number of spaces available on the grid for F2 Sidecars (run to F.S.R.A. F2 spec, including parallel twins to 900cc). If you are interested in competing, please send forms / enter online / phone Andy or Wendy without delay. All the relevant information can be found HERE

As some teams have expressed concern that they would be in a better place to make a decision after the T.T. Races have concluded, the organisation has decided that anyone with a serious interest in competing may send their entries in now, and then make payment immediately after Sidecar Race B on Wednesday 7th June. This is applicable only to those who are competing at the T.T. – please make immediate contact with the office if this is your intention.

Entries will be opening in the next week for the following meeting, the “Barry Sheene Classic” which again will feature F2 and also Classic Sidecars – this will be over the weekend of the 22nd & 23rd July.
