List of Sidecarcross World Championship records and statistics
The FIM Sidecarcross World Championship is an annual event, organised by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and held since 1980.
Previous to that, a European competition was held from 1971 onwards, first the FIM Cup and then, from 1975, the FIM European Championship.
All races held since the competitions interception in 1971 were staged in Europe and almost all riders hail from this continent. As World Championship winning riders is concerned, the competition is dominated by a small number of countries, with World Champions coming exclusively from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Latvia and Belgium.

Statistics
GP winning drivers
The number of races has historically. This leads to the Grand Prix winners table being somewhat in favour of the more recent riders, early seasons having had only a small number of races.[2][3]
Every race weekend now consists of two races, with the best team out of the two becoming the week ends Grand Prix winner. In some earlier seasons, race weekends were also staged in three separate races.
Listed are all Grand Prix winning drivers up until the end of the 2015 season:
