| New
Zealanders Barry and Jane Fleury have been racing sidecars in
the UK and Europe since 1988. They won the BMCRC Championship
and the Best Newcomer award at the Isle of Man Southern 100
Road Races in 1990. 1998 was their first full year at World
Championship level. |
| |
| Successful
projects have included the TFR4 2-stroke engine, computer controlled
engine management system and power-assisted hydraulic braking
system. This ability to develop and improve the race machinery
'in-house' gives Team Fleury an invaluable edge in a highly
competitive environment where performance and success on the
track is directly related to the hours invested on the drawing-board
and in the workshop. |

| The
team finished 12th in the World Championship with their most
promising result being a 3rd position in the 1998 World Championship
round in the Czech Republic An intensive engine development
programme has been embarked on over the 1999/2000 winter to
address all issues of reliability and machine weight. With these
areas improved Team Fleury look certain to be a contender for
a high placement in the 2000 World Championship. The 2000 Sidecar
World Championship will be part of the World Superbike series
competing at 12 events all over the world. |
