Another sidecar-racer? I'm putting it here because it looks so incredibly dynamic.
But for one point, I would like to know who is on the road here, where and when.
Up
Erm. " ~ who is on the road ~ ?" Answer : Strictly no-one as it's off the ground. (puts pedant's hat back in the box)
Is it an NSU at the Nurburgring?
:lmao: I'm not used to being taken at my word.
But sorry, neither NSU nor Nürburgring.
Whoops! With that cyliner head it's got to be BMW not an NSU, and is it at the Isle of Man?
Why not like this ;) It is a BMW at the Tourist Trophy. Locked for you to clarifly who is flying here and when.
Could it be Max Deubel & Emil Hoerner in 1964?
Plese unlock this as I am guessing at random and this was the first BMW that Google found.
No, it's not Deubel/Hörner again. Btw. never saw them with a left mounted sidecar...
Well then I unlock again, too bad.
Is it Colin Seeley?
I'm surprised at Deubel/Hörner preferring a right-mounted sidecar. Most circuits are clockwise so have more right hand bends and a left-mounted sidecar is faster on right handers - or so a sidecar racer told me.
It is not Colin Seeley, but the track is much hotter than the other one.
Most german sidecar-racer in the 50's and 60's used right mounted sidecars. When they started driving in public road traffic in the case of right-hand traffic, right mounted sidecars where usual. And so the appropriate reactions have become second nature.
When accelerating, the motorbike-combination pulls to the right, when braking to the left. I don't have to stand this reactions on their heads when racing either.
Fritz Scheidegger and John Robinson in the 1961 Sidecar TT?
No, not this excellent team
It must be Pip Harris and Ray Campbell, who came in third in the 1961 TT.
Yes, you are right. Details at sunday.
This is your next point.
