World Sidecar Festival at Mallory Park – don’t miss it
THE World Sidecar Festival comes to Mallory Park on the 30th and 31st of October and promises the most excitement you could ever want on three very fast wheels, so book your tickets today at www.mallorypark.co.uk.
The racing will climax with the finale of the Eastern Airways F1 Championship where former multi-World Champion Tim Reeves is currently fending off previous British Champion Alan Schofield and 2009 World Champion Ben Birchall – a winner will be crowned on the Saturday.
A cosmopolitan entry means there will be plenty of competition in all the races with more than 50 entries from abroad taking part in a long line of races, including:
•F1 Sidecars (1000cc)
•F2 Sidecars (600cc)
•F350 Sidecars (350cc two-stroke)
•Post Classic Sidecars
•Classic Sidecars (pre-1976)
•Vintage Sidecars (Pre-1961)
As well as practice and qualification there will be 18-races per day in a packed schedule that promises to be a real celebration of everything sidecar. While the Saturday sees the serious side of the racing, the Sunday will be a day for everyone to enjoy their racing and put on the best show possible for the fans in a track extravaganza.
Anyone who wants to experience a passenger taxi lap in a sidecar race outfit can put their name down by making a donation to the Help for Heroes Charity – visit www.thundersportgb.com for more details. Trade stands for the sidecar fans will sit alongside plenty of food and drink stalls.
On the Saturday the entertainment will continue into the evening with two bands providing the music – one modern and the other playing classic rock tunes. With a bar on site you can be sure of a good nightcap before the exhibition racing resumes the next morning.
Mallory Park General Manager John Ward said: “The World Sidecar Festival is back at Mallory Park after a year’s absence. With ThundersportGB promoting it I think it will be a real action packed weekend of racing and partying – showing the world what is great about sidecar racing. The racers, fans and people associated with sidecar racing are incredibly friendly and this event will bring the curtain down on a fantastic season with a truly international field going for glory. It’s going to be exciting so don’t miss it.”
