CTR Racing are displaying their distinctive championship sidecar outfit at the MCN Motorcycle Show in the ExCel Centre, London, on the weekend of the 4th and 5th of February.
The MCN Motorcycle Show is one of the biggest, and most popular, motorsport events in the British calendar. Everyone who is anyone from the biking world will be there, from Honda to Harley Davidson – and this year CTR will be joining the fun.
“We’re really looking forward to the weekend,” said team owner Craig Chaplow.
“CTR will be on the British Superbike stand, publicising the team and telling everyone what a fantastic sport sidecar racing is. I’m particularly excited to be interviewed by BBC commentator Barry Nutley alongside a whole host of other British Championship stars.”
Organiser of the BSB Eastern Airways Sidecar Championship, Roger Body, says “In this exciting time for F1 sidecar racing, RKBF1 are delighted that Craig and the CTR team will be displaying the outfit at the MCN Motorcycle show, especially on the prestigious BSB stand. This will mean that a machine from each class that has a British Title in BSB, will be at the event.’
Of course, we wouldn’t be there without the support of CTR’s sponsors.
“Able Systems are generously funding the transport of the outfit and the team to and from London,” says Craig, “and we’re really looking forward to welcoming PEME on the stand with us on Sunday.”
Come down and visit the CTR team on Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th
