By Following feedback from three-wheeling squads, the ACU (Auto Cycle Union), Formula 2 Sidecars action is back amongst the Southern 100 racing itinerary next year.
Absent this year, after the knock-on effects of unprecedented events of TT 2026, F2 outfits Motor Isle Billown Course comeback, sees enhanced 2025 derived regulations (2027 event regulations, to break cover soon), encompassing stock Supersport power units, prohibiting aerodynamic-undertrays, implemented.
News Reaction:
S100 Clerk of The Course, Giles Olley:
“By building upon our 2025 F2 600cc regulations and specifically banning aerodynamic undertrays, we are directly addressing the stability issues identified last year whilst ensuring that the event is still accessible to the teams who want to come and race.
Because most F2 outfits never ran aerodynamic undertrays in the first place, teams can now prepare their existing machinery for the Motor Isle Billown Course with minimal work and cost.
Our Technical Control team will enforce this exclusion strictly, and their decision will be final. We cannot wait to welcome a full, competitive grid of Sidecar crews back to the Southern 100 in 2027.”
