THE Appleby-based team of Andy Laidlow and passenger Patrick Farrance have invested in a Formula 1 machine after being invited to join an elite group of 20 teams to compete in the new-look British Sidecar Championship, which for the first time in over a decade will be held in conjunction with the British Superbike Champion-ship.
Laidlow steered his way to seven British Championship podium places in the past season, including two victories and four lap records, and also gained a second overall at the Isle of Man TT races before finishing third in the final British rankings.
The team has a fund-raising night at the Golden Ball, Appleby, on Thursday, March 4 (8pm).
