The Southern 100 races will carry out a review of the Sidecar class for its 2026 event
The Southern 100 road races are reviewing the Sidecar class’s inclusion at their 2026 event, following its suspension from the Isle of Man TT due to recent crashes involving competitors.
The Isle of Man TT has shelved the Sidecar class for the remainder of the 2026 event after incidents such as the Crowe brothers’ airborne crash at Crosby.
This decision follows a similar incident last year involving Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley at the Rhencullen section of the course.
Both TT and Southern 100 organisers are conducting thorough reviews and consultations to ensure the safety of all participants and spectators while determining the future of the Sidecar class in their respective events.
Future decisions regarding the inclusion of Sidecars at the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man’s Billown circuit will be made after assessing regulatory modifications and potential further actions.
The ultimate goal for both events is to prioritize safety while maintaining the excitement and tradition of Sidecar racing in these prestigious competitions.
