From the roaring circuits of Brooklands to the misty mountain roads of the Isle of Man, sidecar racing has thrilled, terrified, and astonished crowds for more than a century. Sidecar Warriors brings this untamed sport to life, spotlighting the fearless driver-passenger duos who risked everything for speed, glory, and the tightest apex.Blending vivid storytelling with deep technical insight, this book chronicles the evolution of three-wheeled racing - from the creaky hacks of the early 1900s to the space-age Formula 1 outfits of today. Along the way, it celebrates the machines that became legends, the artisans who built them by hand, and the fans who still brave mud, rain, and danger to witness the wildest ballet on wheels.Whether tackling the brutal jumps of Sidecarcross, defying death at the Isle of Man TT, or pioneering electric prototypes for the future, sidecar racers embody a rare, reckless courage. Sidecar Warriors is a tribute to their untold heroism, their mechanical genius, and their enduring magic.
