'''Louis Christen Racing''', commonly known as '''LCR''', is a [[Swiss]] [[sidecar]] manufacturer named after founder Louis Christen. LCR sidecars have dominated sidecar road racing winning 25 World Sidecar Championships including every one of [[Steve Webster (sidecar racer)|Steve Webster]]'s 10 world championships<ref>[http://www.superside.com/history.php]</ref>.<br />
<br />
LCR started in 1971 building open wheel racing cars, [[Formula Vee]], [[Formula Ford]] and [[Formula 3]]. <br />
<br />
In 1976 the first LCR sidecar was designed. From 1983 to 1989 they produced a series of successful [[monocoque]] frames for the 80 cc and 125 cc [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grand Prix]] solo classes. The [[Zündapp]] works team and later Krauser were using 80 cc frames and rider [[Stefan Dörflinger]] twice won the [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champions|World Championship]]. There were several Grand Prix wins in the 125 class with [[Morbidelli|MBA]] engines<ref>[http://www.lcr-sidecar.com/0492fb99e30dbf50a/index.html]</ref>.<br />
<br />
In 2007 LCR expanded into the Formula 2 sidecar class, supplying two sidecars for the [[Isle of Man TT]], including the one campaigned by [[Manx people|Manxmen]] [[Nick Crowe (sidecar racer)|Nick Crowe]] and Daniel Sayle that set a new lap record<ref>[http://www.iomtt.com/TT-Database/TT-Records/Lap-Records.aspx]</ref>.<br />
