🏁 METTET RAISES THE STAKES… NOW ALL EYES TURN TO THE GRAND FINALE! 🔥

What a weekend it has been at the spectacular Circuit Jules Tacheny in Mettet for Round 6 of the Northern Sidecar Cup. Fast racing, close battles, drama and crucial championship points made this another unforgettable event as the 2026 season moves towards its thrilling conclusion.

The weekend belonged to Manuel Moreau & Alice Roba (#49), who completed a perfect double victory in the F600 class. They controlled both races with impressive pace, taking Race 1 by just under two seconds before extending their advantage in Race 2.

In the 1000cc class, Hilbert Talens & Felix Pinkert (#22) were once again the class of the field, finishing third overall in both races and collecting maximum points in their category.

The F2 battle was equally exciting. Renzo & Valé Van der Donckt (#44) claimed the class victory in Race 1, while Yoann Gilard & Laura Ecorchard (#156) struck back in Race 2 after Van der Donckt was unable to start the second race.

With another two races completed, the championship tables have taken shape, but nothing is decided yet. The updated Northern Sidecar Cup, Open Belgian Championship (OBK) and Open Dutch Championship (ONK) rankings show that every point collected in Mettet could prove decisive when the titles are settled.

Now the countdown begins…

💥 Next stop: Oschersleben (Germany) – the seventh and final round of the 2026 Northern Sidecar Cup season on October 2, 3 & 4 as part of the Sidecar Festival. The championship trophies are within touching distance, but every class is still set for a spectacular showdown. One final weekend. Two final races. One last chance to become champions.

Will the current leaders hold their nerve?
Can the challengers produce one final upset?
Who will write their name into Northern Sidecar Cup history?

We cannot wait to find out.

A huge thank you to the organisers, marshals, volunteers, sponsors and, of course, every team and fan who made Mettet another fantastic race weekend.

🏁 See you all in Oschersleben for the season finale!
