Classic race added to Southern 100 after sidecar exclusion
Summary

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.
