The Southern 100 Club will introduce classic sidecar racing during next month's event at the Isle of Man's Billow Course from July 6 to 9. This decision follows the exclusion of modern sidecar racing due to safety concerns after a crash during TT qualifying. Classic machines meet separate technical regulations, allowing their participation. Entry for teams will be free thanks to a private benefactor. Organizers express hope that teams will enter to form a viable grid for the races.
