In a clean sweep, competing last weekend (13-14th April 2024) at Pembrey Circuit in South Wales, the Greg Lambert Racing sidecar team secured 4 victories in their pursuit of the British Motorcycle Racing Club F2 sidecar championship.

Saturday started with qualifying in damp/overcast conditions, however a rapidly drying track surface made tyre choice tricky. The team elected to go out with full wets and successfully qualified on pole. Race 1 saw an excellent start and the team led the field into the critical hairpin corner, and then successfully set about creating a gap over the other F2 sidecar cars, crossing the finish line to secure the team’s first victory of the day. The 2^nd race on Saturday followed a very similar format, with the team swiftly establishing a leading gap from the start, which they held until the finish.

Overnight the team changed an engine, as part of their 2024 Isle of Man TT Races preparation, using XHYPE high performance Gravity Ride oil to keep their engines fresh and well prepared.

Sunday started cooler, but dry and wonderfully sunny. Whilst the weather made tyre choice straight forward, the rest of the field made the racing far less so. Race 1 saw the team make an excellent start but immediately enter a race long battle with another very quick team. Positions were regularly swapped throughout the race, with driver Greg and passenger Andy putting the leading outfit under pressure at every opportunity. This paid off as a mistake at the hairpin forced the leaders out wide and Greg/Andy were able to capitalise, passing on the inside and then creating a leading gap until crossing the line in first position for the 3^rd win of the weekend. Sundays second race was very much a repeat of the first, with the team needing to battle hard to maintain position, but as the team were closing in on the leaders another mistake saw them having to retire from the race, with Greg/Andy then having a significant gap over the rest of the field, easily finishing first to secure a clean sweep of 4 victories.

The weekends result now see the team holding a 45 point championship lead with the next round taking place 4-5^th May at Snetterton, Norfolk.
