STAFFORD CLASSIC BIKE SHOW: TEN TIME sidecar CHAMPION Steve Webster set for starring role. Get your tickets NOW.

Steve Webster has been announced as the Guest of Honour at the Carole Nash Motorcycle Mechanics Show this October – and advance tickets are on sale now, if you fancy meeting the most successful sidecar racer of all time.

Webster’s career began back in 1980 – and over the coming years he went on to win a record-breaking ten FIM Sidecar Championships. He won his first title in 1987, in only his fourth season of world Championship events, with Tony Hewitt in the chair. A further two titles were added in 1988 and 1989, before claiming another title in 1991 with partner Gavin Simmons. A gap of six years followed, before he claimed three back-to-back titles in 1997, 98 and 99 with David James.

In 2000, Paul Woodhead joined Webster, winning the world title that year before adding two more in 2003 and 2004. Along the way to securing his record ten world titles, ‘Webbo’ notched up an unprecedented 31 consecutive pole positions in World Championship races and clinched 62 World Championship wins.

His 25-year career came to an end in 2005 when he announced his retirement from the sport after health problems prevented him from finishing the season. His announcement brought to an end a career which saw him rise from a 19-year-old club racer to the most successful sidecar racer in the history of the FIM World Championship.

Away from his racing, Webster has been awarded numerous awards and recognitions for his outstanding career. He was the recipient of the Seagrave Trophy in 1991, the same year he was awarded an MBE for ‘services to sport’. He also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Auto Cycle Union in 2006.

The Yorkshire-born man has always been a firm favourite around the world, not just for his brilliant record, but also for his laid-back attitude. And now fans have the chance to meet the former world champion and get to know even more about his memorable career, as he’s interviewed on stage by resident compere Steve Plater throughout the weekend.

The Carole Nash Motorcycle Mechanics Show October 2019 takes place October 19th-20^th at Stafford County Showground. For more information on the event, and to get your hands on tickets, click HERE.
