Huge respect for the passengers. Risking their body for "dynamic downforce and weight distribution".

[@paulcoste-ontheroad]

[@wanderingbufoon]

I believe they're called "active suspension"

[@timbayley]

Loved this 👌🏼 and a bloody good third for Tim.

[@guttsu]

Such an underappreciated discipline in ~two wheel racing. Absolutely mental stuff, love to see it.

[@cliffprice7860]

Great, thanks for uploading.

[@andrelima5124]

This is utterly MADNESS and I love it !

[@garyfallows1123]

I remember when sidecars were part of a Grand Prix weekend, shame the popularity has dropped

[@Astroman10]

Great call of the race! Great race in general!

[@NoelSquitieri]

Watching from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania United States. I normally watch sidecars during the Isle of Mann TT. I'll be checking in and out because a lot of my friends are playing at the Surfer Joe Summer Festival in Livorno by the Ligurian Sea on the western coast of Tuscany, Italy which is also live streaming.

[@grahambrown8239]

You would expect the voice over to be able to pronounce Sachsenring correctly .Where is the loud knob.. no atmosphere at all

[@karl-heinzdettke7626]

Greetings from Thailand - great shots - thks for sharing.

[@Spahr62]

Excellent win by Ellis/Clement! Loved watching the Birchalls trading the lead! Looks like it's gonna be a great season! I love how many siblings/family's are involed!

[@stephensaunderson4402]

Excellent No6 watching from liverpool

[@Norway-BOY-MTB-Mountainbike]

Hi,from Norway !! Thanks Mate !!🏆🏆

[@joshuak8982]

I’ve never seen this in my life but this is fascinating

[@rickadeggahoscaleslotcars]

There is a movie from 1975 called Side Car Racers, that is what introduced me to the sport

[@Kharrari]

amazing

[@estellehenning352]

Watching from South-Africa

[@sidecar7676]

[@slyleggs4344]

[@johndeere1951a]

Thank you👍 Vintage sidecar racer here, 72 male, New Hampshire 🇺🇲✌️🏁 Love Spa. I jogged around the track before the 1985 500cc GP, working with a US Honda racer at the time 👍🇺🇲 PS, it would've been nice to see the winners circle podium with the helmets off. Also start your broadcast taking a tour of the paddock showing the rigs without their fairing so we can see the beautiful construction. Explaining to new viewers of sidecar competition how these relate to solo machines. Thank you again for the coverage👍👍

[@Depressed_Ferrari_Fan_16]

I'm a simple man. I see something i didn't know existed, I click.

Hi Luke, watching from West Wales, UK. Rooting for Kent boy Tim Reeves.

[@Juan_Hernandez_Jr.]

Good race!💯

[@milanpaskul5946]

First time 😮. Love it. Watching from Australia

[@matteufo]

the passenger guys are the most insane people i've ever seen, having to switch positions constantly and hanging parallel to the road on corners.

[@dennisjr.senior595]

really competitive, that passenger risking it all for downforce got me astonished 😲watching from Nairobi, kenya

[@Leon-Hardt]

NEVER! NEVER A SideCars race lets surprise. It is a unique discipline.

[@PhonkEcho]

Someone leans from side to side for a living! Planet earth is amazing!

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

Alaska is in the house I've seen this before but have not watched a hole race love it

[@tech_curious4985]

Passengers are next-level 🔥🔥🔥

[@robmahoney2181]

Did the commentator even draw breath at any stage? Between having him prattle on aided by the recording engineers drowning out the Bikes with endless verbal inanity made this great race hard to watch with the sound turned up. Barry Nutley can carry on a bit but he knows the history and the whole scene, which makes his commentary work. They're Bikes, not cars and the fact that there is a divergence of specs. between the two leading bikes might be mentioned in amongst the "And I'll tell you what's!" There's a reason why there are rests in music.

[@Astroman10]

He did a fantastic job! He was filling in the audience with standings, drivers’ names, brief history between some drivers. Yeah, he has an overused catch phrase but it wasn’t like he said it every couple of sentences. There’s a reason it’s called “dead air”! You want to avoid silence during a live broadcast and this was streamed live on KZbin. They don’t have the audio quality like NBC or ESPN to let the engines do the work. Also, it’s a 7 lap race. The bikes aren’t going to spread out which means there will always be action for him to call. He’s also by himself so he has no one to play off of or to ask questions to creating natural breaks in the conversation. But his call of this race was pretty good and pretty standard for fast pace sports! I mean this was what it was like for 24 hours at Le Mans! All the announcers were fighting each other to talk. Barely had a break.

[@timbarnes2259]

ELLIS + CLEMENT... WOOOOOOOOOOW....🙂🙂🙂

[@davidforeman2734]

I am a ex sidecar racer in Canada a kiwi living in Canada .

[@ATAtudeDiving]

Bit of fun to watch

[@aivanicfashion]

This is medicine to racing

[@alexgontijo]

Your insanity definitions have been updated!

[@seanc6754]

[@ninjaprince007]

First time seeing a race like this. Looks interesting What do the passengers hold on to?

[@esdrasmanrique6457]

Their balls of steel

[@sifuprestoncollinsjr5014]

There are a lot of POV sidecar racing on KZbin. Try Isle of Man.

[@SpotCash5]

10:00 I, drunk, throwing up outside the vehicle

[@Tunda2]

The absolute balls on these guys and girls are astonishing

[@marioblanquet2391]

[@frankhenryrygge2458]

Watcing from Norway,, Ellis / Clement is the favorite from me 🏁🏁🏁🏆🏆

[@bread_feller]

the thumbnail makes my brain hurt a bit trying to figure out whats going on

[@kissgergo5202]

Other motorsports: protecting the driver should be the highest priority! Sidecar WC: yo just hang on the side of that thing aight'?

[@johnsmith-jh5wb]

HELLO JOHN SMITH FROM ENGLAND GREAT

[@simonbertioli4696]

Great just great....what nail biting and on the edge of one's seat... Same as the passenger...on the edge😅😂. Could you give more info on the red light...by no# sidecar.. And a bit more driver names... Otherwise a great commentary... Simon a Brit in Spain 👍 Shall be watching this tomorrow 👍

[@musicstewart9744]

Philadelphia, PA

[@baffledsquirrel2122]

If only I knew about this when I was a kid!

[@chimarrao96]

Que isso que eu tô assistindo? AUHSAHUSSAUH E por que parece tão interessante???

[@sehrgrossesglied5000]

madness madness and madness again

[@benmahdjoubharoun1467]

Great that fim have a car competition even though it's too sided

[@timwatson4118]

It has been a few years since i have been to Spa. i thought Eau Rouge was at the bottom of the hill (over the creek) and Radillon was the top of the hill. The commentator was calling it the other way around.

[@hrgunit]

you are right. Eau Rouge is the little creek that runs at the bottom and RAiDILLON at the top means a steep path in French. But also I feel that its mostly called raidillon/eau rouge. eau rouge/raidillon sounds strange

[@matthewround7836]

Love 3 wheels. Come on Birchalls and John Holden (fastest pensioner at the TT) ❤

[@simonboland2892]

I am from Townsville Queensland Australia

[@coganclothing9201]

Dude playing road rash & decide to bring it to life

[@neddy1287]

Imagine the passager telling the rider "I got an itchy bum" while entering a right corner riding the rumble strip then entering the next left corner and he tells the rider "That hit the spot" 😅😅😅😅😅

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

Wonderful race

[@sifuprestoncollinsjr5014]

Preston from Delaware state, USA

[@kraftwels]

[@sifuprestoncollinsjr5014]

Watching the Christies from Delaware in the US

[@PLAYINGAROUND]

Any chance of having the sound of the chairs turned up a tad next time?

[@angusmecoatup9849]

My thoughts exactly.....sound of the bikes way too low!!!

[@denigajah6369]

me and my brother playing a 2 player racing on a sunday noon

[@Stream_King]

The announcer keeps putting Eau Roughe and Raidillon in the improper order.

[@pretzczak]

Flexible DRS

[@Barnosca]

160miles/h? And there is loose person in the back of each car? Is this for real?

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

160mph = 257 km

[@lpt2606]

cool sport

[@onlinecare5764]

wow wow wow for the passengers

[@sparklesunshine6263]

Dude in the front seat: 🗿 Dude in the back seat: 🤪😆🙃🐒

[@fabriziopace1]

Super dangerous, I can’t believe they allow it

[@jeffreyjiang]

Reminds me of Mario Kart Double Dash 😄

[@dottieobrien2606]

God. Ch .

[@jorgeestrella585]

That's dangerous specially for the passenger

[@Daytonuh]

These sidecars went full on Formula one
