It all started here. Sheene and racer Gordon Keith, winner of the 1964 Manx Lightweight Grand Prix, pictured by Nick Nicholls at a Brands Hatch practice day on 17 February 1968 - two weeks before Sheene made his race debut at the Kent circuit on Saturday 2 March. Barry, 17, was there that February day to gently run in the engines of two Bultacos his father Frank had tuned for the coming season. Barry returned the following week to complete the job and went so well he ended up racing them. At the time, Frank was the famous Sheene because of his tuning talent and it was the bikes not the young rider, that made the picture newsworthy. (You tube)

Sheene loathed the Isle of Man, but raced many times at Scarborough's Oliver's Mount Circuit, a narrow, tree-lined pure road circuit where a memorial now stands at the startline in his honour. Here he is (41) pictured chasing his good friend and hero John 'Mooneyes' Cooper (1) and Steve Machin (19), the man who took advantage of Barry's decision to contest a big
money end of season meeting in America to nip ahead and snatch the 1971 250 British title from his grasp. The chasers are Derek Chatterton (35) and Cliff Carr (4). (You Tube)

Sheene never had much luck at Silverstone. Here he is pictured racing Suzuki's 'flexi-flier' at the Northants circuit in August 1976. Silverstone took over from the Isle of Man TT as host of the British round of the 500cc world championship the following season but in eight attempts Sheene made the rostrum only twice and never won his home GP.

Although star riders fill the top places and are the focus of the media’s attention, a major part of the TT entry is made up of clubmen who compete in the Isle of Man, at their expense, simply to ride the Mountain Circuit. Norton rider G. A. Northwood was one such rider finishing 53rd in the Junior race. To complete a TT race has been a personal victory for hundreds of riders over the years.

In front of the packed banks around the atmospheric Assen circuit Rob McElnea (Suzuki) and Joey Dunlop (Honda) do battle for the 1983 Formula 1 crown. Everyone knew that Dunlop was the man to beat on the roads, but few gave him the credit he deserved as a circuit racer. Although it made perfect sense to include historic Assen in the Formula 1 championship; the original circuit used public roads, by 1983 it couldn’t have been more different than the TT Mountain circuit or Dunlop’s local Dundrod. Come the race, Joey silenced his critics with a fine runner-up spot behind McElnea, but the icing on the cake was the fact that he led home Honda team-mates Roger Marshall and Wayne Gardner.

Those were the days, when factory riders rode Grand Prix machinery at circuits such as Mallory Park.

Hugging the inside line is works Kawasaki rider Kork Ballington on the innovative aluminium box frame 500 with Barry Sheene up high and wide on his 500 Grand Prix Yamaha. In the feature Race of the Year the two GP stars battled for the whole race distance, but Kiwi Graeme Crosby on the works Suzuki took full advantage, slipped by the pair, and eventually claimed victory by a comfortable margin. Crosby’s Suzuki team mate Californian Randy Mamola was fourth.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isn’t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

With his totally committed all-action style it’s possible to see why Rocket Ron Haslam was always the fans’ favourite. During the early years of his long and successful career, Ron was a regular crasher and must have tested both loyal sponsor Mal Carter’s patience and bank balance. But Ron was never deterred and perfected his craft, going on to have a successful Grand Prix career. Riding for both Honda and Suzuki, he was the man to beat on British short circuits and even won a TT. Haslam is captured here rounding the fearsome Coram’s Curve, at Snetterton, getting the best from his Honda 500 in the 1983 Shell Oils 500 Championship.
