Welcome to the home of Triplebrew Racing. We are a team who race a Classic Sidecar powered by a Triumph Trident T150 engine.
Please have a good look around our site as there is lots to explore.
Ian and Grant have been involved with Classic Racing for over 15 years having previously marshalled at CRMC race meetings for over 10 years. As a result of watching the sidecar numbers decrease they decided that they would like to have a go and help to keep sidecars racing with the CRMC.

CRMC Cadwell Park September 9th and 10th 2011
This weekend the team headed for the stunning and very challenging Lincolnshire circuit looking forward to a great weekends racing. The team arrived mid morning Friday and set up base ready. They were able to sign on, get the outfit safety checked and nosie tested ready for Saturday morning.
Saturday dawned bright if a little chilly. Practice soon arrived and the team headed out on track for the first outing and enjoyed 5 or so laps.
Race 1 and the team were grided 16th position. The flag dropped and they got a good start on the charge upto Coppice gaining a couple of places. As the race wore on the team made good progress eventually finishing a very pleasing 10th.
Race 2 and the team took up an improved 10th on the grid courtesy of the race 1 result. A race long battle ensued with the outfits of Simon Smith / Dave Gristwood, Ray Reeves / Ted Hills, Phil Luhr / Dave Currell and Mike Bellaby / Karl Underwood with positions changing several times each lap! At the chequered flag the team finished a very pleasing 8th position and were chuffed to bits to see a fastest lap time of 2.01.

The teams first sidecar was purchased in 2005 and a lot of work was carried out to make the sidecar race ready.
2011 is a very exciting year for the team as in May they took delivery of their brand new chassis built by Mike Richards of MR Equipe. Although a new chassis the outfit fully conforms to the eligibility rules set out by the CRMC and runs on 10" wheels as was used in the period. The engine is the teams well proven 1972 Triumph Trident T150 expertly prepared by Richard Darby of 3D Motorcycles.
