British Sidecar Championship Update

Posted on by

A new year with a new British Sidecar Season just around the corner

It seems an eternity since the curtain dropped on 2024 with Sam and Jack Laidlow crowned overall champions. The brothers also took their Cup Class victory in what was effectively their first full attack at the title.

Once again a minimum of six rounds are scheduled, with four of those alongside the Bennetts British Superbike Championship.

There is no doubt the profile of the series on the BSB stage is enhanced, and for 2025 the action will be under the scrutiny of TNT Television, now the biggest provider of motorcycle sport on the planet.

The Eurosport brand as we know it, will disappear, with all future coverage grouped together under the Discovery/TNT label, owned by Warner Brothers Media.

As with previous seasons, the sidecar races will be covered with live commentary on-site, for transmission either in the live TV slot, or the Discovery Plus App. Our own British Sidecar Championship Youtube channel will also carry the races about one week after the event.

The schedule kicks off in May at Donington Park, concluding with the traditional season closer mid-October in Brands Hatch.

2025 Dates are –

May 16-18 – BSB Donington Park

June 20-22 – BSB Snetterton 300

July 4-6 BSB – Knockhill

August 1-3 – Cadwell Park Sidecar Revival

August 29-31 – Bemsee Snetterton

October 17/19 – BSB Brands Hatch

The premier class is again the GP, with strong entries expected for this, with the CUP class once again providing the platform for the lower-spec machines, and therefore the bulk of the grid.

Catch that, and all other news as it happens here on www.britishsidecarchampionship.co.uk

LACK OF ENTRIES FORCES WIRRAL 100 TO CANCEL 21st-23rd MARCH MEETING AT ANGLESEY

Posted on by


From Wirral 100 here

https://www.facebook.com/share/15p14iBK4Z/


Sadly, despite the widespread encouragement the Club received after it reversed its earlier decision to suspend racing activities for 2025 and to go ahead with the above exploratory race weekend, there are insufficient entries to enable this test day and race meeting to go ahead.

Despite the huge amount of administrative work carried out by Club officials and our friends at NG Racing over recent weeks, supported by the Anglesey Circuit, the marshals, and the medics, it is apparent that there are nowhere near enough riders able or willing to help us make the meeting a viable proposition.

With a little more than two weeks to go, only 24 riders have paid their entry fees, and whilst another 40 or so have indicated they wish to compete, the total number of likely entries will still be totally inadequate to avoid the Club incurring another substantial financial deficit, similar to those that were suffered in 2024.

Hence, this decision to cancel the meeting.

ENTRY FEE REFUNDS – the Club will now promptly reimburse all entry fees (including garage & transponder fees) received for this meeting. Riders should therefore email the Club treasurer davidfrancis_is@yahoo.co.uk with the relevant bank details – account name, sort code & account number.

The Club’s committee will now spend time reconsidering its plans, membership fees, etc and advise its members in due course.

So as the 2025 Sidecar Seasons is just around the corner and what a great season it’s looking for my Chassis in Bemsee, British & world Championship races. 💪🏁

Over the next 2 months I’ll be looking at making my F2 chassis a full spec TT bike with some new ideas I’ve been thinking about. The new TT bike will also have a bag fuel cell like we use on our F1 chassis. (I have 1 order coming so if you want to join this order please get in touch.)

Also over 2025 I’ll be machining/fabricating a lot more F1 parts for stock to speed up delivery times.

Now the reason for this post is….. I’m probably going to be closed all Dec & the first week of Jan 2026. So this means if you’re thinking of a new Chassis for 2026 you need to order in time so it’s finished in Nov 2025.

Have a great 2025 and see you all soon. 💪🏁
