Southern 100 confirms sidecar racing return with new regulations

The Southern 100 Races will see the return of sidecar competitors in 2027, following concerns over their future after the Isle of Man TT Races. Organizers announced updated technical regulations aimed at improving safety and reducing costs. Key changes include the prohibition of aerodynamic undertrays and the continued use of standard Supersport 600cc engines. Teams expressed optimism about the announcement, citing ongoing discussions with the sidecar paddock and the Auto-Cycle Union as critical to the decision. The ruling is expected to facilitate a smoother return for the teams next year.
