Maria Costello MBE is aiming to become the first woman to race both sidecar and solo machinery at the same Isle of Man TT meeting after announcing her partnership with Julie Canipa for the 2019 season.

The Northamptonshire racer celebrated International Women’s Day by securing acceptance to race the sidecar at this year’s TT with Julie Canipa as her new passenger, who last year was awarded the Susan Jenness Trophy by the TT Supporters’ Club for her fantastic efforts in the event.

The pair will form a formidable duo as an all-female team. Costello made her sidecar road racing debut at the Southern 100 road races on the Isle of Man last year while Canipa started her TT career alongside Doug Chandler in 2015 and teamed up with Greg Lambert in 2017 to claim her best IoM finish of eighth.

Birchall Racing are incredibly honoured to have been awarded the prestigious Fred Craner Trophy. The trophy is presented to a British driver within the ACU Midland Centre area for outstanding achievements on the international stage in racing.

birchalls cranertrophy400px

If the name Craner rings a bell it is because the tough Derbyshire man was responsible for the legendary Donington Park Circuit becoming a reality, back in 1931. The former Isle of Man TT competitor and secretary of the Derby & District Motor Club approached the then owners of the estate to use the land for motor racing. Fred’s name lives on in the iconic ‘Craner Curves’ section of the track.

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once (ha!).
 
On your first visit to East Fortune this year, as you turn right along the road to the car park, and onto the circuit, you will note fenced compounds for the dogs from the kennels to play in....... The one on the left is accessed by crossing the roadway.....
 
So it's not that SAFE or CLEVER to be going faster than the 10mph requested by the signs......
 
Please be aware that East Fortune has other users, it is people's homes. Drive carefully. PLEASE

Julie Canipa1 350110px

The TT Supporters’ Club is delighted to announce that Julie Canipa is the recipient of the Susan Jenness Trophy for 2018.

Succeeding Estelle Leblond and Melanie Farnier – hard acts to follow – Julie receives this prestigious award for her consistent high-speed performances around the Mountain Course as passenger to Greg Lambert. Now approaching lap speeds of 110mph, the pair set off as one of the highest starters after the seeded crews in the 2018 races to finish in 10th position on their Honda GLR at an average of 107.368mph in the first race. Sadly, mechanical gremlins beset the pair in the second outing for the class.

It’s all change for Sleaford sidecar racer Gary Horspole with passenger Jimmy Connell as the new season heralds a change to the British Sidecar championship.

The new regulations that apply to the 2019 British Championship dictate that competitors will no longer be able to use the big 1000cc engines as in previous years but will switch to 600cc powered outfits.

With this in mind Horspole has made adjustments to his long LCR chassis to accommodate a new Yamaha R6 engine which is in the process of being prepared by Keith Whiting.
