While she may only be a newcomer to sidecar racing, Irene Baksheev has become a passionate advocate for the sport.

Part of the Tasmanian road race sidecar revival movement, Irene has one of the most unique introduction stories we have encountered – and one that might inspire some clubs promotional tactics moving forward.

Despite only having been racing for around three years, Irene has already visited the mainland and run several club events on the period 4 outfit she is the passenger on. While history is great, it must start somewhere and it is great to have had the opportunity to feature someone who’s journey is just beginning.
