Team Aircom SsangYong Superside Sidecar Report

[flipper69]

Talk about a reality check. Team Aircom were well and truly spanked at the 1st round of the FIM Superside World Championships in Scheilz,Germany. The Team consisting of riders Stacey Sellar,Adam Treasure and passengers Darren Abrahams (kiwi) and Lionell Cornwell have finished 12th and 13th overall after the 1st round of the championships.
The main goal for the Team over the weekend was to make sure that we finished every session including the races,which was achieved.
Both outfits seem to be way down on power as well as both teams being way down on race fitness to complete the 30 to 45 min races which are ahead.
Hopefully the next few rounds will bring us closer to the top 10 which is where we feel we should be competing.
Stacie and Darren are getting an upgrade in power plant as well as a new fairing which Stacie should feel more comfortable in for the remaining rounds which are as follows:

Round 2 Brands Hatch England 9th June
Round 3 Assen Holland 29th June
Round 4 Sachsenring Germany 14th July
Round 5 Salzburgring Austria 21st July
Round 6 Reijka Croatia 18th August
Round 7 Le Man France 8th September

Will keep you guys informed as the season progresses.
Sponsors Desperately Wanted

All the best

At least you've got the oppurtunity to race at a world championship level

Whats happening with the engines re the upgrade? a 1600cc kit?

That thing aint down on power, it was beating our 1600 Hayabusa in the north island rounds, it must be the gnome riding it thats slow.
But seriously Stacey, congrats on cracking into the world champs, Regardless of results it is a dream im sure every NZ sidecar racer would like to experience.
Keep us posted via this thread if you can mate & pictures would be appreciated.

Awesome job all the same fella's! You are not only lifting your own game, I'm sure the rest of the "training wheel" crews in NZ/Oz will be likewise spurred to improve.
