TT IoM 2013

[cesitarcbd]

El equipo KMR de kawasaki ya ha tiene completo el plantel.
Parece que en ligthweigt van a por todas con la FNr 6 (o como se llame).
Farquar será el manager y de esto sabe algo, y como pilotos punteros ahí es ná, Rutter y Cummins.
Para las motos gordas solo un piloto, Mc Cormak.

Me extrañaria muchisimo que su punta de lanza, Jamie Hamilton, no corra en el TT bajo el brazo de Farquhar.

Y te extraña bien, ya que junto a Cummins (que correrá con norton en motos gordas) y Rutter, estará Hamilton y el novato Gavin Hunt.

PD. Recibo los comunicados de prensa del TT en inglés que intento resumiros, pero puede que os interese, además de mi resumen (mi inglés no da para traducirlos)  que cuelge el texto en inglés completo. Si es así, no teneis más que pedirlo.

Saludos.

Solo un pequeño apunte. Cummins correra con una Norton pero en clasicas, en Sbk correra como compañero de William Dunlop en el Milwaukee Yamaha.

Por favor.. 

De todas formas, dónde hay que suscribirse para recibir esos comunicados?

[el chino]

Gracias Cesitarcb por las correcciones. Entre que mi inglés no es muy bueno y que a veces en el curro tengo que ir mangao pa que no me pille el jefe, puedo meter la pata.

Txester, reccibo las notas de prensa ya que en el 2008 estuve acreditado como press foto en el TT y desde entonces, me llegan desde la oficina de prensa. NO se qu se puede hacer para conseguirlo.
Pero a partir de ahora los iré colocando en este hilo.

[Boira]

  Seria un detallazo por tu parte colgar los comunicados de prensa
Muchas gracias compañero 

[cesitarcbd]

Gracias a ti chino, si puedes colgar las notas como te ha comentado el otro compi te lo agradeceriamos barbaridad. Yo entre curro y demas me es imposible seguir la Nw200 y el TT como me gustaria.

[txester]

Como ya te han dicho, muchas gracias!

Preciosas esas R1...

George Formby - Riding in the T.T. Races

From the film "No Limit" (1935) starring George Formby, Florence Desmond and Jack Hobbs. Composers: Harry Gifford & Fred E. Cliffe.
This scene is set on a steam train as George travels to the port to catch a boat for the Isle Of Man. There, he does indeed ride in the TT (Tourist Trophy) Races.

Lyrics -

If there's one thing that I like
It's riding around on a motorbike
I'm a speed king when I once begin

I once won first prize two and six
I know all the dirt track dirty tricks
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win

In a fifty mile race I am the best
I ride five miles and skid the rest

So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all

Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed
See me coming down the street
With the winning post on the pillion seat
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind

Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider
My inside rattles when I go the pace
My ribs begin to shake about
There's all my spare parts sticking out
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

- uke solo --

With my gears in reverse
The other way round I'll finish first
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

Coincidiendo con el 90 aniversario de las carreras de sides, el día 7 de junio, antes del senior TT habrá una vuelta de honoro de historicos de los atalajes.

La nota completa:

SIDECARS LEADING CREWS TAKE TO THE TT MOUNTAIN COURSE TO CELEBRATE NINETY YEARS OF RACING ON THE ISLE OF MAN
The 2013 Isle of Man TT Races, fuelled by Monster Energy, will celebrate the 90th anniversary of sidecar racing at the world famous event with a parade lap featuring some of the sport’s greatest exponents and machines.

The parade lap will take place on Senior Race day, Friday June 7th, and leading the outfits off at number 1 will be the Scots pairing of Stuart Muldoon and Chris Gusman on board the late Jock Taylor’s 1982 race winning machine. Taylor and Benga Johansson took the 700cc Windle Yamaha around at a sensational 108.29mph on their way to winning the second race that year whilst the pair were also World Champions in 1980 with a 500cc OW31 engine slotted into the chassis. Muldoon and Gusman only had one outing at the TT in 1996 but were one of the fastest ever newcomers in the history of the event with a 104mph lap.

Local hero and TT legend Dave Molyneux sets off behind them at number two and, reunited with his race winning passenger of 1993, Karl Ellison, will be taking an ex-Steve Webster 500cc Windle Yamaha around for a lap, the same outfit that was used in the European Championship in the 1980s.

Two of the most successful TT drivers ever will be in the parade with ten-time victor Rob Fisher out on a 600cc Baker Yamaha and nine-time winner Mick Boddice on a 600cc Honda. Rick Long, who was alongside him for six of those ten victories, will join Fisher whilst Boddice will have former TT regular Stuart Castles on passenger duties.

Recent winner Klaus Klaffenbock will leave the line at number five on the same outfit that took him to his three TT wins in 2010 and 2011 whilst, for the first time in many a year, a long wheel base outfit will be seen on the course and with an F1 1000cc engine, the LCR Suzuki belonging to that of four-times World Champion and three-time British Champion Tim Reeves. With Dan Sayle in the chair, this is the same outfit that the Kent driver is currently campaigning in the British Championship.

His current F2 outfit will also be seen with father Brian, himself a leading British Championship competitor during the 1970s and 80s, at the controls. His other son and Tim’s short circuit passenger Tristan joins him for the lap with Ben and Tom Birchall also out on their 600cc LCR Honda.

Drivers and outfits from previous eras will also take part in the parade including 1986 race winner Nigel Rollason, the second person to win races around the Mountain Course on two and three wheels. Driving the outfit that he became synonymous with, the famous blue and white 750cc Barton Phoenix, Rollason will have his passenger from the 1983 and 1984 races, Colin Bairnson, in the chair.

Local pairing Eric Bregazzi and Jimmy Creer will be on board the 1989 race winning outfit of Dave Molyneux, a TZ750 Yamaha, the duo having enjoyed a successful TT career themselves, with eighth in 1982 and 10th in 1984 being the highlights.

Regular TT competitors Wally Saunders and Eddy Kiff will out on one of only two Trevor Ireson monocoque construction Grand Prix F1 outfits, owned by Ireson himself, with former passenger Alan Blackhurst taking over the controls of Saunders’ 1970 750cc BMW where he’ll be joined by Alison de Angelis.

Brian Alflatt and Heath Lane will also be BMW-mounted whilst current TT stars Conrad Harrison and Gary Bryan will participate on their usual Shelbourne Honda and Baker Yamaha outfits although on this occasion their passengers will be their respective wives, Samantha and Pam!

Other highlights of the parade will be Sidney Ormond and Alan Blacklock on the 1958 Berkeley 1293cc Mini which they have won six British Historic Racing Sidecar Championships on, Stuart Applegate/Greg Mahon on a 1971 BMW 1000, John Davies/Ian Gemmell on a 500cc Seeley and Graham Alcock/Broderick Wilson driving a replica of the 1969 649cc Triumph Kneeler that Alcock drove in the 1969 TT.
