I've got two ,and they are both lousey ,tip up at the smallest provocation.so we could have standard classes with a bit of fetteling .I say two classes because there are two types of sidecar models ,one is belt drive if I remember correctly .
Then I think a class where the modification can be as wild as you like ,is brass chassis ,3 d printed chassis ,wheels and gears tyres ,motor a free choice ,as long as it basically fits in the shell .
Date next year ,late spring ,early summer?
I'll get a list of tracks available and work it from there

They're not as bad as they're painted
They get raced as an occasional club class at Bury St Edmunds.

Why not go for the ultimate bonkers proxy and include these:
Scalextric Turtles on skateboards might be another candidate.
Proxies are usually scored on lap times or number of laps in a set period. Sidecars would be better scored by least number of deslots in a single lap.
