Hiya Russ,

As a previous sidecar passenger, you can be entered in the MGP newcomers race, example 2002: Dave Corlett - ex (at the time, now current!) Steve Sinnott passenger at the TT for years!!

Obviously it's within the rules... but, go figure ;-)

Incidentally, I don't think a sidecar driver can be entered as a newcomer.

Cheers
