By Eight times World Sidecar Champion, eight times TT podium finisher Tim Reeves, Mark Wilkes were in scintillating form across the second BMCRC-MRO (British Motorcycle Racing Club) round of 2023 at Pembrey.
After practice, qualifying sessions finalised, Reeves/Wilkes backed by Bonovo Action & Rich Energy, sped to opening three wheeling race spoils, finishing 4.216 seconds to the good over top chasers Kirk/Masters.
The next eight lap F1/F2 combined race stint, would see Reeves/Wilkes, lap sub 1 minute 02 seconds on route to another race victory.
Victories times three was completed in the penultimate Sidecars encounter of the BMCRC Pembrey meet, with the fifth quickest Sidecar TT team in history, finishing post the tenth, final lap, 20.13 seconds ahead of the evenly matched chasing pack.
Third best F2 team behind Reeves/Wilkes were the Crowe brothers Ryan & Callum.
Widely tipped to be in the mix for standout results at TT 2023, there’s no doubt about their potential around the fabled, mythical Mountain Course.
Like Reeves/Wilkes, they haven’t long to wait till 100th Anniversary Sidecar TT action begins, with just under seven weeks till the world’s most famous road race returns.
