Racing Community Rallies: GoFundMe Launched for Isle of Man TT Sidecar Passenger in Need

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Shaun Parker was injured in a qualifying crash for the Sidecar class at the Isle of Man TT

A GoFundMe page has been established to raise funds for Shaun Parker, who sustained injuries in a crash at the Isle of Man TT with Maria Costello last week. The duo encountered a severe accident during qualifying when their outfit hit a hare at the Brandish section of the course. While Costello’s condition is serious but stable after being transferred to Aintree hospital, she remains paralyzed due to spinal injuries and others. Over £186,000 has been raised through the GoFundMe for her so far.

Parker, who is also recovering from multiple injuries, has a GoFundMe with a target of £12,000. As of now, it has garnered over £7000 in donations. The suspended Sidecar class at the 2026 Isle of Man TT will undergo a full review post this year’s event to secure its future. Additionally, the class won’t participate in the Southern 100 due to shared technical rules with the TT. Amid these events, British Superbike champion Kyle Ryde plans to ride a Honda 125cc bike 300 miles to Knockhill to support Costello.

The 2026 Isle of Man TT is set to resume with the Supersport, Sportbike, and Senior races on Friday following weather-related disruptions. Unfortunately, the rescheduled Superstock 1 TT on Thursday was canceled because of adverse weather conditions. People can donate to Parker’s GoFundMe for support.
