Mai wird beim 24-Stunden-Rennen auf dem Nürburgring in der Eifel wieder die furchterregende Nordschleife in Angriff genommen. Über 70 Kurven weist die Nordschleife auf ihrem mehr als 24 km langen Kurs auf, für die Erlernung der Strecke benötigen Fahrer Tage anstatt wie sonst Runden. Der Straßenkurs beinhaltet eine abwechslungsreiche Mischung unterschiedlicher Belag- und Kurventypen, die Dunlops Reifen auf Herz und Nieren prüfen werden. Dazu sind häufige Wetterwechsel an der Tagesordnung – auch in der Nacht. Der Kurs der Nordschleife gehört zu den renommiertesten Zielen für Reifentests, und bei den 24 Stunden auf dem Nürburgring herrscht freier Reifenwettbewerb. Während die Motorenhersteller ihre neuesten High-Speed-Produkte auf der Strecke testen, versuchen ihre Reifenpartner, Maschine und Reifen aufeinander abzustimmen, um dem Fahrer maximalen Grip, Rückmeldung und Vertrauen zu geben. Ein Sieg hier ist ein hart erarbeiteter Sieg. Zum Arsenal von Dunlop im Kampf gegen konkurrierende Reifenhersteller gehören bei diesem Rennen rund um die Uhr auch führende AMG- und BMW-Teams. Heerscharen von Fans campen über das Wochenende im Freien, um ihre Favoriten zu unterstützen. Mehr als 200 Autos treten bei der Veranstaltung an, eine breit gefächerte Zahl von Rennklassen trägt den sehr unterschiedlichen teilnehmenden Fahrzeugen Rechnung. Dunlop wird 13 Lkw einsetzen, um über 5.500 Reifen für dieses Rennen zum Nürburgring zu bringen, das damit zu den größten Veranstaltungen im Jahr gehört. Das Support-Team allein von Dunlop umfasst 38 Mitarbeiter.

Und selbst dann kann sich das Wetter trotzdem noch innerhalb von Minuten und auch nur auf einigen Abschnitten der Strecke ändern.

  • Note 138: Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit:- Course
    P.1 of 9 Note 138 Isle of Man TT Mountain circuit:- Course Records Writing Note 137 about Indianapolis reminded this author that there is another circuit used for racing since 1911 which is almost unchanged – the Isle of Man Mountain circuit. This Note reviews the course records achieved there by Tourist Trophy motor-cycles and puts them in perspective with the machine Power/Weight ratios. The Mountain course of 37.73 miles used since 1920* rises to a height of 1,400 feet. It had a large surface change from mostly loose to tarmacadamed by 1925 and has had many corners “eased” since then but its plan is essentially unchanged. Unlike Indianapolis, with its 4 left-hand quarter- circle corners, it has 264 bends of every description! The plan is shown below. DASO 1246 *For the 1911-1914 races the course was 37.7 miles. In 1920 a change was made for the last few miles from Cronk-ny-Mona to bring the Start/Finish line onto the Glencrutchery Road. Course Record list As there does not seem to be readily available a consolidated list of outright Course Records one has been assembled from various sources. It is given in Appendix A at P. 6.

  • Graham Walker (1897–1962)
    Graham Walker (1897–1962) Graham William Walker was a well known figure in the motor cycling world with successful careers as a racer, journalist and broadcaster. To the current generation he is perhaps best known as the father of the popular motor sports commentator Murray Walker. Graham Walker was the son of William Walker of Aberdeen, a company secretary of the Union Castle shipping line. He developed a passion for motor cycles at an early age, joining the Royal Engineers during World War I where he became a dispatch rider, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was later injured in the leg by an enemy shell, necessitating the use of a modified brake pedal throughout the rest of his riding career. Whilst convalescing from his injuries in England he met and eventually married Elsie Spratt. They had one son, Graeme Murray Walker, born in 1923. During the early 1920s Walker was a works rider for the Birmingham based Norton Company, achieving some success including a second place in the 1923 Isle of Man Sidecar TT. In 1925 he moved to Wolverhampton and took a position as Competitions Manager and rider for the Sunbeam Company. He was the European 500cc Champion in 1927. In 1928 came another move, this time to take up the post of Sales & Competitions Director with Coventry-based Rudge. Walker continued his racing career, retiring from the lead in that year’s Senior TT only a few miles from the finish line in Douglas. A few weeks later he achieved a thrilling victory in the Ulster Grand Prix, competing with Charlie Dodson for the lead for over two hours and attaining an average speed of over 80mph/128.75kph!

In total, he has made 62 trips to the Island. An aircraft engineer by trade, Dave acted as mechanic & refueller for several TT riders. He was a marshal for 21 years, usually at Greeba, where he dealt with numerous incidents. He has restored several vintage British motorcycles and won many awards with his Velocette and Nortons. In 1978, he was accompanied by his friend Dave Whitham and Dave’s young son, Jamie. Inspired by the TT win of the legendary Mike Hailwood, Jamie went on to become a successful professional motorcycle racer. The author pictured in June 1979, with his son, Paul. In the background, TT riders Bob Orton and Brian Kaye relax between races. 5 Introduction The Isle of Man TT course is unique.

  • Centenary of the 37¾ Miles Isle of Man TT Course Home of the World’S Greatest Road Races
    Centenary of the 37¾ miles Isle of Man TT Course Home of the World’s Greatest Road Races Issue date: 30th September 2020 The Isle of Man Post Office is pleased to present a set of eight stamps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 37¾ mile Isle of Man TT Course. Providing a then and now look at the Course, we picture the vantage points where fans have gathered in their thousands to witness best in class road racing. Adrian Earnshaw writes… Sky-high emotions will have accompanied the spectators, competitors and teams who gathered for the 1920 TT Races; the first event following the return of peace in November 1918. At last, the Island was again buzzing with excitement that the British motorcycle industry was back in business, making motorbikes instead of munitions and eager to showcase their latest products at the TT. Six long years had elapsed since Cyril Pullen and his Rudge had crossed the winning line in 1914 and, sadly, some familiar faces had departed the scene forever. Happily, however, more than twenty new ones were stepping up to take their place, among them Graham Walker, George Dance, Bert le Vack, Gus Kuhn and Rueben Harveyson, all of whom would eventually feature highly in the motorcycle hall of fame. To add to the anticipation of this first post-war event, a significant change in the TT Course was adopted to give spectators in the Island’s capital the thrill of seeing machines travel at high speed along Glencrutchery Road. This was achieved by adding Signpost Corner, Bedstead Corner and Governor’s Bridge to the route, following the ascent from Hillberry and replacing the pre-war section which had involved competitors turning right at Cronk-ny-Mona and proceeding down Johnny Watterson’s Lane to its junction with Ballanard Road where a left hand turn had been taken to join the top of Bray Hill.

Despite very difficult weather conditions every event was completed with the exception of the “Concours on the Prom”, which was a Dept of Economic Development initiative assisted by the VMCC. This cancellation was prompted by the Government on health and safety grounds along with the planned beach racing, and upset many people as there were no signs as to the cancellation and nothing put out on the radio. The VMCC may need to rethink for next year and take on the whole organisation of the event. Many activities will change for 2013 so we will have to wait and see.

The Older bikes were followed (or should that be scattered) by quite a few modern bikes all helping to raise money for the Deansley Centre at New Cross Hospital Wolverhamp- ton. All VMCC members made it to the finish at the Bradford Arms Ivetsey Bank, the moderns didn’t! It was a great day, thoroughly enjoyable. I must thank everyone for their help in raising the sum of £366 for the Deansley Centre, espe- cially Mick Davies and friends at Barloworld, Paul & Shaz at Shire Oak Rider Training, and of course Pete Mellor at Anchor Garage for his help and good hu- mour, and not forgetting Maurice Trupp who once again came to the rescue with the last minute panic to get the Dougie ready.
