Le Mans
 Zadnja letošnja dirka je slonela na razlikah samega režima dirkanja, saj smo na dirkalniku ponovno imeli odličnega sovoznika Jamie Biggs-a!
Dirko smo zakjlučili na 12. mestom, a smo s samimi novimi nastavitvami dirkalnika in vožnje več kot zadovoljni.
 On last race in Le Mans we made some changes in racing regime, we had our old passenger Jamie Biggs on our back!
We finished on 12. position, but we are satisfied with new settings on bike and with new style of driving.
Oschersleben
Dirka v nemškem Oscherslebnu je bila za nas nov izziv, saj smo prvič bili na tej stezi. Poudarek je slonel na nastavitvi motorja in testiranje
novih nastavitev. Na prvi dirki smo skurili zadnjo gumo že na štartu, s čimer dosegli 14. mesto, na nedeljski dirki pa je v predzadnjem krogu odpovedala elektronika na motorju. Vseeno smo dosegli izboljšane nastavitve ležaja motorja in šasije.
Oschersleben race was a new challenge for us because we were the first time at this track. We were working on bike settings and testing. In the first race we have burned the rear tire at the start, so we reached 14th place in Sunday's race electronics went out on last lap. However, we achieved improved settings on bike and chassis.
Sachsenring
V Nemškem Sachsenring-u so se ponavljale težave s sprednjim kolesom (posledica nesreče v Rijeki), s čimer je bilo nemogoče dosežti dobro uvrstitev na kvalifikacijah. Napačne nastavitve sprednjega kolesa in napačne izbire pnevmatik so bile zadovoljive le za 17. mesto. Razočaranja se ni skrivalo.
In the German Sachsenring same problems appeared with the front wheel (resulting from an accident in Rijeka), so it was impossible to rank well on qualifications. Incorrect settings on front wheel and the wrong choice of tires were only satisfactory at 17 place. We did not hide the disappointment.
Rijeka
Na sobotni sprint dirki smo bili priča bitki za četrtim mestom med Streuer/Endeveld,Spendal/Hill, Rutz/Eckert, Remse/Knapton, Knight/Knight in Treasure/Aalto. V devetem zadnjem krogu se je pojavila težava s sprednjo pnevmatiko in zavorami, tako sta Janez in Paul izstirila na zadnji levi šikani in izgubila odlično peto mesto, ki sta ga držala zadnje kroge. Ker sta prevozila štartno linijo par sekund po dovoljenem času, ki ga imajo dirkači, da končajo svojo dirko za zmagovalcem, je bil Remse Racing odškodovan točk in veliko razočaranje nad "DNF - nedokončanjem".
Na goldrace v nedeljo se je ponovno pojavila težava s sprednjim kolesom in obladovanjem le-te, kar je drugemu slovenskemu dirkaču Milanu Špendalu dovoljevalo povečati varno razliko in končati 6. mesto pred Janezom in Knaptonom na 7. mestu.
The battle for the fifth place on saturdays sprintrace was really frantic, between
Streuer/Endeveld,Spendal/Hill, Rutz/Eckert, Remse/Knapton, Knight/Knight
and Treasure/Aalto.
On lap 9
Janez Remse/Paul
Knapton Remse Racing LCR Yamaha found they had no brakes and ran off
the track they managed to get back on track but crossed the line over
the time limit giving them a very disappointing DNF.
On goldrace, Remse Racing LCR Yamaha had a
chance to catch sixth position, but they had tyre problems witch gave
Spendal/Hill breathing space and let them cross the finish line in 6th
place in front of Remse/Knapton 7th.
Schleiz
Odvila se je prva dirka svetovnega prvenstva Sidecar. Na nemškem dirkališču v Schleiz-u smo ogromni poudarek namenili tehniki vožnje in manjšim modifikacijam, s čimer smo izboljšali lanske čase za več kot dobri 2 sekundi! Tako smo na Sprint Race dirki dosegli odlično 11. mesto, v nedeljo na Gold Race dirki se je dosegel najhitrejši čas 1:33:9, a je ob približevanju Roscherju (ki je končal na četrtem mestu!) v levi šikani, zaradi zgrešene idealne linije in velike hitrosti, zdrsnilo sprednjo kolo, zaradi česa je zavrtelo dirkalnik.
The first race of the Sidecar World Championship was on the German track in Schleiz. Our main goal was improving driving techniques and also some small modifications on bike, so we were driving around the track more than 2 seconds faster than a last year! So we achieved on Sprint Race 11th place. On Sunday at the Gold Race we achieved the fastest time of 1:33:9, but at the approachinh Roscher (who finished in fourth place!) in the left cornec and because of a misguided ideal line and high speed, front wheel slipped and caused bike spinning.
Na francoskih tleh, natančneje na dirkališču Valdavienne so se testirale nove komponente letošnjega dirkalnika.
Z rezultati smo zadovoljni! Nekaj utrinkov v galeriji.
On French circuit Valdavienne we have tested new components of the sidecar.
Results were above our expectations! Pictures in the gallery.
