The penultimate round of this year's championship takes place September 28-30 at Assen in the Netherlands with Steve Kershaw and Stuart Clarke in celebratory mood.
They clinched the title at Cadwell Park last time out, and will be dead set on continuing their winning form at the Cathedral of Speed.

The chase for second place in the championship is still very much alive however. Kershaw's team-mates Todd Ellis and Charlie Richardson sit there at the moment on the Santander Salt 600 Honda, but Gary Bryan and Phil Hyde (1000 GBR Kawasaki), along with former champions Ricky Stevens and Ryan Charlwood on the Quattro Plant JG Speedfit 600 Kawasaki are easily within touch.
Ellis and Stevens are also locked in a battle for 600cc Cup honours, so they have a double target.

Birchall Team Sponsors

 

Mitchells of Mansfield backed Birchall Racing have taken a double-win at round six of the 2018 FIM Sidecar World Championship. Claiming the maximum 50 points from the weekend, Ben and Tom will now head to the final round of the championship held at Oschersleben in Germany trailing the leaders by one single point.

Held in glorious conditions at the Grobnik track near Rijeka in Croatia, the sixth round of the Sidecar World Championship could not have gone any better for the Mansfield-based brothers. Despite coming into the event with a sizeable points-deficit on the championship leaders, the Birchall’s determination to never give up paid off with them topping the standings in both practice and qualifying. Enjoying great pace on the track and with their LCR outfit performing perfectly, the brothers main aim was to take both race wins at the 4.168-kilometre track.

BMCRC - or Bemsee as they are known - are running sidecar taxi rides at their Brands Hatch meeting on October 6/7th. 

There will be not only the F1 and F2 sidecars that are normal competitors with Bemsee but some of us BHR Teams will be bringing our BEARS outfits down to have a ride round and spread the word about this cheap, fun and friendly class of racing. Thanks to MDMD and Slow Phil for arranging to have us as guests. 

If you fancy a ride round the iconic Brands Hatch circuit on an F1, F2 or Bears (British European or American Race Series) outfit, then

Thanks also to Sue Wood for reminding me to get this up here on the front of the site. 

Cheers all!

FIM World Sidecar Championship.

The temperature was hot, 30 degrees! 18 laps, it was a hard race.


Coming here Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes had a healthy 51 point lead in the championship. But a DNF yesterday had the team working well into the early hours of the morning trying to get their “Adolf RS” Yamaha up and running for today’s race. They managed to get onto the grid with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.


As the lights went out it was Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes who got the hole shot into the first corner, Ben and Tom Birchall on their “LCR” Yamaha followed with Bennie Streuer and Kevin Rousseau on their “LCR” Kawasaki. A great start from Lukas Wyssen and Thomas Hofer on their “LCR” Yamaha, they were right on the tail of Streuer/Rousseau. Pekka Paivarinta and Jussi Veravainen on their “LCR” Honda had a bit of a rough ride into the first corner, there was contact between them and another team resulting with the sidecar wheel arch getting pushed in, the team continued but it would cause them problems later in the race. Next up was Lewis Blackstock and Patrick Rosney with their “LCR” Suzuki. Right on the tail of Blackstock and Rosney was Michael Grabmuller and Sebastien Lavorel with their “LCR” Yamaha; next up was Scott Lawrie and Michael Fairhurst with their “LCR” Yamaha.
For the next few laps the race was hot at the front, but there were hard battles throughout the field.

FIM Sidecar World Championship.

 

With the sun starting to fall from the sky the track temperature was still high. And the anticipation on the grid was tense.

As the lights went out it was Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes on their “Adolf RS” Yamaha who led into the first corner with Ben and Tom Birchall right on their tail with their “LCR” Yamaha. The Birchall Brothers were having none of this though, they drew alongside Reeves and Wilkes going into turn two, side by side the two teams battled all the way round the corner. It was the Birchall Brothers who were to appear back into sight in the lead.

Reeves and Wilkes have one hand on the title!

 

The sixth round of the FIM Sidecar World Championship” will take place at the 4.168km circuit of Grobnik in Croatia, just south of Rijeka, just inland from the Adriatic Coast. The anti-clockwise circuit is surrounded with mountains with stunning views all round. The “Automotodrom Grobnik” circuit opened in 1978 and until 1990 the Yugoslavian motorcycle GP was held here. A big change at the circuit for this year, the track has been resurfaced. Over the years the track surface was known to be so grippy, that even slick tyres would be used in wet conditions. It will be interesting to see how the sidecar teams get on with the new surface, and if they like the new surface.

Apologies for the slightly late report (holiday time!), but what a fantastic Sidecar racing event Donington Park proved to be, with sixty plus outfits at the meeting made up of in excess of twenty British F2’s, similar numbers of Pre-Injection machines and complemented with a handful of club racers.

Over the weekend of the 11th and 12th August the ACU/FSRA British Formula two sidecar championship made their way to the Leicestershire rural circuit of Donington Park for round five of eight with the host club North Gloucester Road Racing.

There was a ten minute morning warm up on Saturday and it was championship leaders Founds/Walmsley who laid down the gauntlet registering a time just two tenths outside their own lap record. Crawford/Hardie registerd the second quickest time some 1.8s in arrears and had never dipped below 1:16 barrier before so could Founds/Walmsley enjoy an easy weekend?

“Sidecar teams love “The Cathedral of Speed” at Assen”


The fast flowing 4.542 km circuit at Assen, commonly known as the “Cathedral of Speed” will once again welcome the “FIM Sidecar World Championship” teams for round five of the 2018 championship, on the 18th and 19th August. And once again the “Gamma Racing Day” will be the host.


It has been just over one month since the last round at the “Pannonia Ring” Hungary. With 146 points, championship leaders Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes will want to increase their points tally here. Reeves and Wilkes came back to the championship this year after having a year away, and they certainly have stamped their authority in the championship, with four wins, two second places, however a very rare mistake by Reeves in the “Gold Race” in Hungary saw the pair take a lowly tenth place. But the six points for this place could make all the difference to their championship total at the end of the year. Reeves and Wilkes like this circuit at Assen and will want to get back on their winning ways and stand on the top spot of the podium.
