Pedder & Steadman F1 Sidecar Racing Team

Sidecar racing is one of the most

visually amazing and spectacular

motor racing sports to watch. The

Driver and Passenger are seen

working together to ride the ma-

chine to it’s highest potential

around the race track at

breath-taking speeds. It is the

only motor sport where team

work is essential for remaining

on the track. With speeds

reaching up to 180 mph and

the sidecar being just 2

inches from the floor, it is

hard to find a more exhila-

rating and exiting sport.

F1 Sidecar Racing Team

F r o n t E n d The modern racing sidecar chassis is very different from the sidecars of

the past. The sidecar is an integral part of the machine, the wheels are

wide with a flat profile and the whole machine is very low, just 2 inches

from the ground.

The front end design and steering on a sidecar is

very similar to a Formula 1 chassis. The front

wheel is connected to the chassis with steel

wishbones.

The front wheel is moved using a link system

connecting the handlebar to the steering

upright (hub). This form of steering is called

centre-hub-steering, meaning that the steering is done by turning

the wheel upright (hub) directly without any type of gearing, and

thereby actually turning the whole front wheel by holding it by

the centre shaft.

Adjustments made via the wish bones allow different settings to

be applied to the front wheel to maximise grip from the tyre to

the tarmac. Using this design the front wheel travels

35 mm.

R e a r E n d The Rear end wheel is attached to the chassis with

steel link rods / wishbones. This system is called

multi-link-suspension.

Every angle in this construction is adjustable, al-

lowing total flexibility where adhesion between

the tyre and the track is concerned. The suspension used is

very similar to that used in the front wheel.

The rear wheel is the only driven wheel and it’s is done so

by chain directly from the engine as on a Superbike.

Gearing is altered by changing the rear sprocket size.

S i d e W h e e l The side wheel does not use any suspension, it is solid

mounted to the chassis. Adjustment can be made via

three points and for obtaining the best adhesion and

best grip, also you can angle the wheel slightly so

Rods involvement in racing hasn’t always been as

passenger. In 1997, Rod joined Bryan as Mechanic

and soon became an important part of the Team.

In 2003, the opportunity arose for Rod to try out as

Passenger. This proved to be a huge success and

Pedder and Steadman were born.
