World Sidecar champion Tim Reeves and Patrick Farrance had a busy day yesterday taking part in qualifying during the day at the Donington Race track for the World sidecar Championships and then flying to the Isle of Man to take part in the evening practice.

It was the team’s first experience of the TT and afterwards Reeves revealed how much he enjoyed the experience.

“That was absolutely fantastic. I can see why everyone has raved about the event. I’ve never experienced anything like that anywhere else in the world in all the circuits I’ve raced. It is an awesome place – nothing’s the same. I’m used to going out for a lap of a minute or two so to go for 20 minutes or so is brilliant. I didn’t want to stop.”

Saturday’s TT practice was a free, untimed practice but Tim originally qualified in pole at Donington Park although his time was later beaten by the French team of Sebastien Delannoy and Gregory Cluze.
