I read somewhere that the race had been cancelled???

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

I understand it is only the side car events due to a fatality.

No no fatality, the top sidecar team took off and flipped over at 160 MPH, both of the brothers are in hospital with broken bones but stable and will be racing again, the cancelation is a precaution as its the second sidecar outfit to flip, the thinking is that it is a change to the regulations to the fairing that is causing it to happen, there is a big square hole at the front of the sidecar for radiator cooling and they think it has to do with it
But cancelling could be the start of someone trying to get the whole thing stopped im afraid

Well its over and not a good week weather wise with races cancelled, one solo rider died and five hospitalised, two of which are female, a sidecar team that got hit by a hare, it ran out into them causing them to loose control the sidecar passenger is just knocked about a bit but the driver is paralysed from the chest down, there is slight hope that she will get some use back

Guy Martin is the name you are searching for, there's a movie called 'Closer to the edge' well worth a watch, edge of your seat stuff. I'm glad I don't race or rally any more, in the 60's the cars weren't all that fast.

Do it now, you may never get another chance
