TT2016: Sidecar racer Dwight Beare has died

Sidecar racer Dwight Beare, an Australian who had moved to the Isle of Man to become a resident in Onchan, was killed following an accident near Rhencullen during Saturday’s Sidecar Race 1 at the Isle of Man TT Races. The race was immediately red flagged.

Dwight made his TT Races debut in 2014, achieving a 12^th place in his second race on the Isle of Man when he competed with father Noel as his passenger. The pair returned to the Isle of Man TT last year, achieving a 17^th place in the first sidecar race.

Dwight’s passenger Benjamin Binns, from the Isle of Man, was airlifted to Nobles Hospital where he was described as being stable with a fractured ankle.
