What is the name of the race for motorcycles with sidecars at the TT?

The race for motorcycles with sidecars at the TT is called the Sidecar TT. It is a distinctive part of the Isle of Man TT festival, in which a driver and passenger race together on a motorcycle-and-sidecar outfit around the island’s public-road Mountain Course.

The first Sidecar TT was held in 1923. The race disappeared from the programme for a period before returning in 1954, and it was part of the motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship from 1954 through 1976. Since 1976, the event has been organised as a two-leg competition, adding an unusual endurance and consistency element to the outright speed challenge.

The passenger is not merely a passenger in the everyday sense. They shift their body dramatically through corners to help the outfit turn and remain stable, especially on the fast, uneven sections of the course. The Sidecar TT should not be confused with the solo TT classes or with a generic three-wheeled motorcycle race.
