FIM Sidecar World Championship Round 3 Donington Park Race 1

[@colinbatchford8007]

Always liked sidecar racing and always stuck around to watch them race when they raced at the end of a race meeting.

[@chuckfinley6156]

it's a great move to hook up with the superbike championship. I always enjoyed watching the sidecar guys hanging it out.

😃 das habe ich ja noch nie gesehen! Echt lustig wie der Beifahrer da immer am rumklettern ist!

[@monteiro5306]

@@mtl-ss1538 how is this relevant to my comment? Sadly I was too young to see Ivan Mauger race.

[@nigelmitchell351]

Check out some of the footage from 2stroke days.!!! I'm amazed the yanks don't do this, I'd love to see a round from Laguna seca.

[@britishsidecarchampionship]

Thank you for all comments. points noted.

[@toglife67]

What an enjoyable race

[@robertwhitlow8957]

excellent. anyone know if i can see le mans and hungary and if not, why?

[@michaelschmidt9708]

Great battle for 2nd between Schlosser and Päivärinta! Geezers FTW!

[@oldscorpsfan]

Thank you but what happened to Rounds 1 & 2? Did they get cancelled or just not available. This is great stuff but 1080p would be even better. However I do appreciate the upload.

[@Thiswasmeanttobeeasy]

They were not run with World Superbikes, so didn't have access to the same film crew.

[@oldscorpsfan]

@@Thiswasmeanttobeeasy Oh ok, understand. Thanks for the info.

[@michaellarue8645]

Who wants a Bingham mk1-49 sidecar? It's the one pictured in the article where it is being raced...

[@stephenthorpe3321]

Great race is it 600cc now for world championships?

[@artvanwag3257]

What happened to the Dunlop bridge at donnington

[@critiqalerror]

Would they go faster in left or right hand turns?

[@wienerguy7822]

i'd guess left

[@bruceread4507]

Right is a lot faster, whole bike can't lift. Left, sidecar can.

[@paulwhite7475]

Bought in good faith from E bay 🤣

[@lonewolfmtnz]

crazy is as fkn crazy does

[@chrishenderson2595]

Absolutely fantastic racing sadly spoilt by the commentating or lack of.

[@markholroyde9412]

Its great racing but its just not fast enough, need to be 1000cc.

[@Mad_Flavor]

the 600cc are faster by the way.

[@sidecarbod1441]

Spoken like someone who has never raced a sidecar! Straight line speed is one thing and a bigger engine would give you that but sidecars are all about late braking and corner speed, the g force that these things generate literally take your breath away.

[@markholroyde9412]

@@sidecarbod1441 You would be right, I have never done it and I now get the bit about G forces, never thought of that. But still, they are as slow as fk carrying 2 people, almost pedestrian, and I have been 200mph on plenty of occasions, I've had a Busa 16 years. Full respect to folk who races the chairs though that's for sure.

[@sidecarbod1441]

@@markholroyde9412 Check out the lap times for a solo bike and a "slow as fk" sidecar around any track that you like, you will see that they are not slow. I raced sidecars when the limit was 1300cc and then down to 1000cc. I've not raced an F1 outfit running a 600cc engine but I'm sure they are still quick enough to make most people shit their pants.

[@sidecarbod1441]

@@markholroyde9412 Also straight line speed is just boring anyway, all it shows is who has the most BHP. 160 MPH with your head 1 foot off the ground feels a whole lot faster than 200 MPH with your head 4 foot off the ground.

[@getubelogin]

Great to see sidecars again, its a pity the comentator was so boring!

[@keithlemon457]

Great race, but no-one can commentate like Murray Walker...........

[@skaface1969]

Nowt wrong with Barry Nutley or Murray

[@ontherightside2647]

Do not practice risky and dangerous motorsports.

[@garethmcrae668]

Are we allowed to watch it at least?

[@paullevine1813]

That's funny , not true but funny.
