Isle of Man TT: The Photographic History
Author(s): Bill Snelling
An authoritative illustrated record of the rich history of the world's most famous motorcycle road race series. Written by acclaimed motorcycle racing authors Bill Snelling and Michael Scott, with a foreword by Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness, this beautiful book celebrates the Isle of Man TT, the ultimate motorcycle road racing. The 37 miles of the 200-bend Snaefell Mountain Course witnesses riders hurtling around a circuit which is terrifying to ride, but where the action is always spectacular and hair-raising for racers and specators alike. The exploits of the great TT champions, such as Joey Dunlop, Mike Hailwood, John Surtees, Giacomo Agostini and John McGuinness, are legendary and Isle of Man TT: Photographic History - through 150 magnificent photographs - brilliantly captures the spirit, excitement and danger of one of the oldest and most revered events in world motorsport.
