2027 Sidecar World Championship Rounds in Schleiz and Oschersleben

Just a few days after Harry Payne and Kevin Rousseau were crowned the new sidecar world champions at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in early October, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) presented a provisional calendar.

The only decision still outstanding at the time was whether an event would take place in early June as part of the Endurance World Championship at Spa-Francorchamps or in early August as part of the ‘Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship’ in Cremona.

The opening round will take place on 20 and 21 March in Le Mans, France, as part of the French Superbike Championship, thus continuing the long-standing tradition of kicking off the Sidecar World Championship season at the legendary Circuit Bugatti.

For the second race weekend, the circus will head to the Adriatic coast to the Automotodrom Grobnik/Rijeka, a circuit that has long demonstrated its support and enthusiasm for this discipline.

Following Rounds 5 and 6, which take place in mid-May at Donington, the Sidecar World Championship will take a summer break lasting several weeks, ending on the first weekend with the races at the Schleizer Dreieck. The natural track is currently being modernised.

This will be followed immediately by Cremona in Italy, where the sidecar family competed for World Championship points for the first time this year. After that, there will be another longer break before the series resumes in mid-September at Assen (Netherlands).

On the first weekend of October, the World Championship will draw to a close as scheduled at the Sidecar Festival at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben.
