SIDECAR racing duo Pete Founds and Jevan Walmsley have achieved a record.
They have been crowned FSRA British Sidecar Championship winners for a seventh time.
The pair have clinched this year’s title with one round still to come at Knockhill on the weekend of September 21-22.
Founds and Walmsley confirmed their crowning glory in the latest round at Donington, where they picked up second and first-place finishes in the two races.
This took the gap in the championship to 50 points in Founds’ favour, and with only 50 points available at Knockhill and the FHO Racing pair edging the count back and number of wins, they cannot be caught.
Founds is a former Knutsford resident who relocated to Northwich, but hails from Wirral and is maintaining the family success in the sport.
He has three brothers, Alan, Chris and Steve, who have history in the sport.
Team Founds Racing was established more than 53 years ago when their father Des started out and he achieved a third place TT finish in 1989.
This is not the first sport in which Founds has proven to be a winner.
The former mechanical engineer at Fiddler's Ferry Power Station in Warrington represented Great Britain at under 21s level in ice hockey.
He used to be captain of the now-defunct Flintshire Freeze ice hockey team based at Deeside Leisure Centre.
