The much publicised Cadwell Sidecar Revival is here. After many months of planning, negotiation and sleepless nights, this festival of sidecar racing at the historic Cadwell Park circuit has arrived.
This coming weekend, we will be celebrating seventy years of world championship sidecar racing, forty years of LCR sidecar construction, and the entire concept of the sport of sidecar racing.
Central to the programme will be three races for the Molson Group Championship competitors, who arrive here hot-foot from a hectic and eventful Brands Hatch, which saw Steve Kershaw and Stuart Clark emerge in the title lead on their Molson Group/Express Tyres Yamaha LCR.
They are chased by 2018 runners-up Todd Ellis and Chaz Richardson (Santander Salt Honda).

- Written by Mark Walters
The 2019 Isle of Man TT races got under way for “Team Shand Racing”. Driver Gordon, will have Tony Belsey in the chair this year. Tony, passenger’s for Gordon at the short circuit racing back on the mainland, UK.
A lot of work had to be done to the “Shand Chassis” Suzuki, 600, before the team were to take off down “Bray Hill”. Work commitments back home meant that there has not been a lot of time to prepare the machine. Not what Gordon wanted, but that’s just how things have worked out.

Record Breaking Start To The 2019 Season Continues
- Details
- Written by Tim Langham / Photographs - Dirk Wharton
The second round of the 2019 A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship saw another lap record fall, in a weekend featuring some fantastic racing. There was a win each for Lee Crawford / Scott Hardie, and series leaders Pete Founds / Jevan Walmsley, both similarly mounted on LCR Suzuki machinery. Rob Atkinson / Glenn Dawson (Bellas Suzuki) were the dominant force in the F2 Cup, taking both wins to move up to third in the “series within a series”, despite having to miss the opening round at Snetterton a month ago.

Birchall Brothers take victory and Kershaw/Clark take twenty points to Brands

Round One - Oulton Park 4-6 May 2019
The long wait was over, a record entry assembled, an air of anticipation surrounded the entire paddock, and the much publicised new season was finally under way.
There could be no more fitting place to kick-start the 2019 championship chase, than the picturesque Oulton Park circuit, scene of many sidecar battles over six decades, with World Champions past and present having tackled the iconic parkland track.
Free practice provided a taste of things to come, with a string of colour and action all round the 2.7 mile track. The 600cc engines sang a uniform song as the crews familiarised themselves with new machinery, and dialled themselves in ahead of qualifying.
Although bitterly cold, the sun was out and the track dry for the first free session with a full twenty minutes track time.
Ben and Tom Birchall set the early pace ahead of John Holden/Lee Cain, but at the close, Lewis Blackstock and Paddy Rosney emerged fastest with their Yamaha. With John Holden second fastest at the flag, it was a Silicone/Barnes Racing double. Times needless to say, were conservative, as this was after all, the opening exploratory session.

Donington Park To Host Round Two Of The A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship

Donington Park is the setting for the second round of this year's A.C.U. / F.S.R.A. British F2 Sidecar Championship over the weekend of the 11th and 12th May. Three weeks have now passed since the opening event at a very chilly – but mainly dry – weekend at Snetterton. The trip to Norfolk was a particularly fruitful one for reigning champions Pete Founds / Jevan Walmsley who had a perfect weekend, with pole position, two wins and shaved a massive 1.9 seconds off the lap record. In the F2 Cup, series debutants Michael Kirkup / Arlo Brown topped the timesheets in every session, and took two convincing wins and hold a ten point advantage in this section.

Fisher & Lowther Do The Double At A Sodden Oulton Park

Unfortunately the second round of the 2019 F.S.R.A. / Lane Building Services Pre-Injection Sidecar Championship saw fewer competitors – not due to a lack of enthusiasm or interest, but owing to the fact that the shared grid of sidecars was over-subscribed well before the closing date for entries.

All systems go for Season opener at Oulton Park May 4-6th
- Details
- Written by Barry Nutley, RKB Press Office
The waiting is over, and we are a matter of a week or so away from the new British Sidecar Championship season. The Molson Group have once again pledged their support, and now in their fifth year of involvement, have assumed full title sponsorship.
The new season is full of promise, as all the teams are now under the new “ 600cc rule ” which will see a much more level playing field and closer racing.
Now aligned to the FIM World Championship, the 600cc formula is irrespective of chassis style, and is therefore open to long and short outfits alike. This will greatly simplify the sport, and get us back to the concept of “sidecar racing” regardless of configuration.
It will also allow those teams who regularly compete on the roads, to have the odd short circuit outing by way of preparation if they so choose.
