  • Investment Opportunity
    Investment opportunity RacerRacer A love story. An obsession. Racer. A love story. An obsession Racer is a heart stopping original screenplay by Oscar nominee and Bafta winning writer Ronan Blaney. A feature film inspired by the early life of legendary motorcycle racing star, Joey Dunlop. Joey, from Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, was at the height of his sporting prowess from the dramatic and politically charged 1970s right through to his death in 2000, winning the world renowned Isle of Man TT Races a record breaking, and not yet beaten, 26 times. Our film portrays the early life of a conflicted and quiet man who remained true to himself whilst allowing his enormous skill as a racer and his track record to do the talking. Racer Ali MacPhail Note from the Producer Racer has the dual commercial power of being a thrilling sports movie and an original love story. This film will show the strength of the family bond and how extraordinarily conflicted a character can become. How can Joey leave his wife and babies at home and immerse himself in this lethal sport? Joey witnessed first his friend and then even closer to home, his brother-in-law, being killed in horrific crashes in road racing but yet still couldn’t give up the most dangerous motor sport of all. The racers ride at speeds of up to 190 miles per hour on country roads with nothing but lamp posts, trees and dry-stone dykes for natural crash barriers. At the beginning of the TT Race, the riders pass through the middle of a council estate – a bizarre setting for a world-famous race – and a detail which many people will be unaware.

  • Isle of Man TT Races
    Isle of Man TT Races In the world of motor cycle racing, the Isle of Man TT races stand out above all other events as perhaps the ultimate test of rider and machine. For over one hundred years many of the leading motorcycle racers have come together to pit themselves against the formidable TT course. The Isle of Man’s first motor racing events were of the four wheeled variety when, in May 1904, the island was the venue for the eliminating trials to decide the British entry for that year’s Gordon Bennett Cup, motor racing being illegal on the roads of mainland Britain. The eliminating trials were held again in May 1905 followed in September by the first running of the Tourist Trophy for racing automobiles (an event that is still run each year at Silverstone as the RAC Tourist Trophy). Figure 1: Stanley Woods seen here at Ramsey Parliament Square during the 1938 Junior TT. In the motorcycling world, dissatisfaction with the running of the annual International Cup race (like the Gordon Bennett races, held in the country of origin of the previous year’s winner) led to a proposal by the Auto-Cycle Club (ACC, later the Auto-Cycle Union) to stage a major British road race for The National Motor Museum Trust : Beaulieu : Brockenhurst : Hampshire : SO42 7ZN 1 touring motorcycles and the Isle of Man was chosen as the venue for this Tourist Trophy. The first event took place in May 1907. The first TT was run over ten laps of a 15 mile/24.14 kilometre triangular course starting and finishing in St Johns.
