Have a Go on David McArthurs Sidecar Outfit.

39-year-old driver David McArthur hails from Te Awamutu. He has been riding dirt bikes from a very young age before deciding to give road racing a go. He raced solo bikes for a number of years including superbikes before turning his attention to sidecars. The 49-year-old passenger/swinger Tony is from Tauranga and also comes from a two-wheeled solo back ground – racing motocross for 12 years, then Super Motard, before switching to sidecars.

2008 DTM Racing F1 Sidecar The DTM Racing Sidecar is a New Zealand-built machine completed in 2008 for the Lawrence brothers by Peter Anderson. The frame is made from aircraft aluminum and is powered by a 2008 Yamaha R1 (1000cc). The Lawrence brothers campaigned the sidecar to a New Zealand title before David and Tony purchased it for the 2017 season, making them only the second owners of this now iconic Kiwi sidecar.
