Sidecar celebration at 2013 Isle of Man TT
The history of the Isle of Man TT will be celebrate with two special parade laps to be held this year.
During the 2013 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the first ever Sidecar TT race, there will be a sidecar only parade lap on Friday, June 7, prior to the Senior TT.
The parade lap runs 90 years on from the first race for three wheelers won by Freddie Dixon and his passenger Walter Perry on the innovative ‘Banking Sidecar’. This parade lap will be open to entries from any type of racing sidecar.
Already confirmed to take part are Stuart Muldoon on Jock Taylor’s restored TT winning machine, record sidecar TT race winner Dave Molyneux and current World Champion Tim Reeves, who will be on board his Championship winning F1 machine.
There will also be a ‘Classic TT Lap of Honour’ on Monday 26th August as part of the Classic TT event schedule. The lap will be for racing machines (solo and sidecar), with priority entry given to riders with TT and/or MGP experience.
Entries for both parade laps are now open, with the closing date for entries for the 90th Anniversary Sidecar TT Parade Lap set at April 12 and May 3 for the Classic TT Lap of Honour.
