Speaking recently about the decision to re-introduce Sidecars to the Imatranajo race schedule, Motorclub Imatra’s Juha Suikkari, candidly stated:
“Last year we didn’t race sidecars in Imatranajo, but following feedback from the spectators we have re-introduced them to the schedule.
Apart from the spectators, also competitors are keen to race sidecars at Imatranajo, and at the moment there are several Central European teams interested in participating.”
