Thanks to Barry Barry Chapman for making some improvements to our trucks new stickers. Keep your eyes peeled for our announcement soon!

Hi everyone,

This isn’t the update we wanted to be sharing today.

We should have been on the ferry and on our way to France for Pau, but unfortunately we were let down on our journey there and have been unable to make the trip.

The team has spent weeks of preparation and countless hours getting ready for this event, so this is a hugely disappointing outcome for everyone involved. We’d also like to apologise to our sponsors and supporters who have backed us throughout the season, as we’re disappointed to miss another round of the championship.

Following recent events, we have made the decision to part ways with Clément. We’d like to thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.

Our focus now turns to the remainder of the season, and we are actively looking for a replacement passenger to contest the rest of the World Championship.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. We will provide further updates as soon as we can.

Thank you to Barry Sign FX Scotland for getting the Graphics sorted for our truck. Top job as always!

The team were disappointed to miss round two but were all set for round three of the FIM Sidecar World Championship in Pau.

Making the most of the good weather and down time to get the truck ready for a fresh coat of paint 😎

Le Mans Race Report

We used practice to get up to speed with the circuit and work towards a solid base setup for the weekend after a long winter off.

Qualifying didn’t quite go to plan, with a rear suspension issue holding us back and leaving us P17 on the grid.

Huge thanks to Kees for helping us source a replacement rear shock at short notice. We didn’t have time to fit it before the sprint race, but we pushed on and brought it home P11, picking up some valuable points.

For race two, we got the new shock fitted and made a decent start. Unfortunately, we had a spin which ended up turning the outfit over. Clément hurt his shoulders, but Lewis was okay.

Plenty of positives to take away though – the changes we made look like a big step in the right direction with the setup, which gives us a lot of confidence going forward.

We’re looking forward to getting back out as soon as possible and building from here. We’re also on the lookout for more support to help us through the rest of the season!

Big thanks to all our sponsors and our 88 Club members for the continued support and credit to Wally for the pics 📸 👏

Race 2 - DNF

The boys had a small incident in race two and turned it over. Lewis is okay and Clément had dislocated shoulders. Other than, the team are okay. Still a good weekend to set the foundations. We found a big step with setup so let’s carry this on for the rest of the season.

Full race report will follow shortly. Thank you to everyone for their support to get us here.
