A nasty looking incident, I think in Germany? When I get more details I will Post them on here - unless another member gives the needed background information for the photo.

 

 

Here's a link of the article, apparently from Altrip in Germany, mentioning the injured parties Imanuel Schramm and Lydia Neuendorf. 2011

It's in Holland, not Altrip.

Don't understand how for an FIM event you can get a GB/USA pairing or some of the other combinations.Did they just put pairs together for this event or do these pairings ride the whole season together?

None of the experts here can answer my query?

It does not really matter what nationality the sidecar passenger has. The nationality of the passenger is not officially regarded in sidecar racing. It is only the driver whose nationality is officially represented in these FIM sidecar championship meetings.

 

This is a litte bit like the Manager(Coach/Trainer in international Football (World Cup / Euro), for example at the EURO 2016 Iceland had a Swedish coach, and Scotland once had the German Berti Vogts. That does not matter.

Take your word on that first bit,but that second part is pretty poor.In the Ice Speedway, Austria had a manager/coach from Swindon,but the riders had to have Austrian citizenship ;)

Yes, in speedway team events, all the riders have to be of that nationality they represent. In other sports it may be different. I guess it is not so strict in Rugby Union, but that's another thing.

 

Anyway, in sidecar speedway it is just the drivers, but not their passengers, it seems. I can live with that.

 

Anyway, it is not me who makes up these rules, it is the F.I.M., and You will know we once had a "Team Europe" in a World Ice Racing Final in Russia, and a "Team Adria" in a Speedway World Cup qualifying round. This makes the mixed nationalities of sidecar passengers easily acceptable to me.

I love it.....

Try this one. I'm the passenger and I'm English. My driver, Roel Liemburg is Dutch (Fries actually, but that's in the Netherands). We rode together in 3 FIM World Championship Finals and represented........

Germany.

 

Good eh?

 

Well not really. But there were good reasons.
