Motorsport: Cullingworth's Robin Luscombe and Wayne Kershaw hit the sidecar championship trials trail in Devon on Sunday morning where they will be looking for a 20 point tally in round two of the ten event series.

After finishing second two weeks ago to the husband and wife team of Robin and Gill Morewood from Sheffield, Luscombe is looking for his first win of the new season over the Beta mounted family pair, but Nelson's Bruce Rushton and Keighley passenger Neil Watson could be in with a chance of foiling the Luscombe charge.

Wayne Braybrook heads the huge entry of 160 riders for Sunday's National Cleveland Trial at Castleton, north east Yorkshire, where the Middlesbrough Motor Club stage their traditional one lap national trial over a course that has hardly changed in 40 years.

The event will run under 1997 observing rules and features expert, inter and clubman routes in the 34 sections which include Stormy Hall, Poverty Hill and Raven's Gill. David Pye, Dan and Ben Hemingway and Dan Clark form the main expert opposition.

Four local motor clubs could be in with a chance of taking the top points in Saturday night's Selby MC Larkspeed Championship road rally - points leaders North Humberside, current champions Ilkley DMC, Yorkshire Sports Car Club and Sporting Escort. All face a testing 120 mile east Yorkshire route starting from Shiptonthorpe at midnight.

After the multi-million pound facelift the Croft Circuit at Darlington goes into the new racing season with a good cross-section of events including the top class televised Auto Trader RAC British touring car championship round on June 26/27.

There are ten dates booked - six car meetings plus one rallycross and three bike events and the latter includes national championship qualifying rounds. The New Era meeting in May runs through three full days and that means a total of some 75 separate races in all classes. There are Formula Three and GT meetings in May while the August car meeting brings out the TVR Tuscan clan in full flight.
