By A diverse field (12 entries in total) featuring racers fresh from TT 2024, Scarborough newcomers, respected classics racers, are all primed for this weekend’s six-lap MAG Farmyard Party Sidecar encounters.
Formula 2 exponents wise, Lee Crawford/Scott Hardie will be looking to bring the form they showcased during TT 2024, where they took a top five finish, topped the 115-mph lap mark.
The undisputed top driver/passenger team of modern times around Oliver’s Mount, the opposition is only too aware that everything, all different kinds of aspects will have to align to defeat them on Saturday and Sunday.
Reigning Oliver’s Mount Sidecar Champions Steve Ramsden/Matty Ramsden, arguably start as the biggest threats to Crawford/Hardie.
Consistently near the sharp of three-wheeling action at Scarborough, the father/son duo always give 100 percent and more in pursuit of notable roads scene achievements.
Carl Fenwick/Phil Knapton, third three times across the Bob Smith Spring Cup, must not be discounted from race winning challenges.
The F2 entry also includes Bruce Moore/Andrew Sigsworth, the Chandlers Shaun & Ben, David Marshal/Tony Pitt, Charlie Morphet/Dave ‘Knight’ Ryder and debutants Kieran Clarke/Andrew Johnson (Eddys Motorcycles Tadcaster).
In terms of competitors astride classic three-wheeling tackle, entrants include Andy Nourish/Tony Johnson (Dave Nourish Racing) and Adam Holden/James Salsbury (Nomad Off Road Engineering).
So that’s it, the conclusion of pre, Barry Sheene Festival event insights, hopefully they have all been a good read!
Full event schedule to follow soon on Road Racing News but a quick reminder, it’s an early morning start on Saturday (15th June) with practice sessions beginning with newcomer’s introduction laps in behind rider representatives.
