Watson Racing

As 2025 comes to a close, it’s been a long and testing year as we’ve worked hard behind the scenes preparing for our return to the race track in 2026.

We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way!

Merry Christmas and wishing you all a safe, happy, and successful 2026 from everyone at Watson Racing. 🎄🎅

See you all at the track soon!

This weekend is Round 2 of the WA State Sidecar Championship being held at Collie Motorplex
After a disastrous 1st round at Carco Raceway with lots of bad luck we will be starting from the back of the grid. We’re fired up an ready to charge up the front.
Our regular passenger Drew Lock has a pre-booked holiday to Japan to hit the slopes so we are fortunate to have the skills of Robert Dillon passengering for us . Big thanks to Jack from Northside Motorcycles Service & Repairs to get our motor sorted & ready for this round in a short amount of time so we could get it back in the bike with plenty of time to spare

Fun Fact - Robert and Sam went to Primary school together an the first road racing sidecar outfit that robert layed eyes 👀 on was Sam’s Fathers (Garry Watson)

See you all track-side🏁🏁 #57

Round 1 of the WA state sidecar championships has been run unfortunately it wasn’t our day with a gearbox gremlin in qualifying. The Calmack LCR was unreal in the laps we got to do.

Huge welcome to Drew Lock who has joined Watson Racing as our full time passenger!

Massive Thankyou to Peter Girling for lending us your outfit to salvage a few points towards the championship.

See you all in a few weeks at Rd 2 at Collie Motorplex
