The flamboyant helmet design of Graziano Rossi, captured here at Spa Francorchamps in a rare shot aboard the Marlboro Yamaha in 1982, and equally distinctive riding style, have all the all the hallmarks of his son Valentino. Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.

We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamola’s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamaha’s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamola’s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

Few riders have enjoyed the large and loyal fan base that Texan Kevin Schwantz has and the one World Championship he has to his name doesn’t do his talent justice. With his self confessed win-or-bust style it was obvious he was going to be popular with the crowds after his first visit to Europe to ride in the Anglo American Match Races. So much so that he always considered Donington Park and the British Grand Prix as his home round. When the inevitable Suzuki Grand Prix ride came along, Schwantz approached the top level of the sport with the same cavalier attitude – when he won he did it with great panache, when he didn’t he usually came back on the wrecker truck. Schwantz stayed loyal to Suzuki throughout his career and still works for the company today.

Few great racers make great engineers. Sidecar driver Helmut Fath was most definitely the exception to the rule. Captured here deep in concentration as, along with long-time passenger Wolfgang Kalauch, he drifts the URS outfit, a machine built entirely with his own hands, into a fast Oulton Park sweeper during the 1968 International meeting. Working in a tiny workshop, German Fath managed to build a four-cylinder engine so powerful, and reliable, that it took him and Kalauch to that season’s World Championship, denying the previously dominant BMW crews victory.

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.

If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwood’s Isle of Man TT return in 1978. Having spent 11 years away from the Island and motorcycle racing, except for the odd race down under, the idea of a TT comeback was considered crazy at best and downright dangerous at worst by some. But they needn’t have worried. If Mike had put in an appearance and just ridden for a finish he would have received a standing ovation. But that wasn’t the Hailwood style. In practice he hustled the Sports Motorcycles Ducati round at 111mph, over 7mph faster than the Formula 1 lap record, and won the race with ease.

This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

Those were the days, when factory riders rode Grand Prix machinery at circuits such as Mallory Park. On this occasion the meeting was the Race of the Year, which carried a prize fund worth winning even back in 1981. 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.

Phil Read’s comeback Isle of Man TT ride couldn’t have been more unpopular among the TT cognoscenti, many of whom held him largely responsible for the Island races losing their World Championship status. With the inaugural Formula 1 Championship, decided on just one race in the Isle of Man in 1977, Read saw an opportunity to revive his career and take advantage of the generous start money offered by the organisers. Despite the obvious disapproval from sections of the crowd, Read kept his cool and rode his Honda Britain sponsored bike to victory in the weather-shortened race. But even that moment of glory was shrouded in controversy. With speculation that the Honda crew had received a tip off from an official that the flag would go out early, Read stayed out rather than pitting, while his nearest rival, Welshman Roger Nicholls, came in as planned and lost valuable time and with it any chance of victory.

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.

Mallory Parks favourite son John Mooneyes Cooper in typical pose as he rounds Gerards Bend during the 1971 Easter Sunday meeting ahead of Lincolnshire ace Steve Machin (Padgett Yamaha) and Jim Curry on the 350 Honda twin. An unlikely looking hero, with his studious John Lennon glasses, on this occasion Cooper heads the field on his 350 Yamsel, the product of joining one of Colin Seeleys fine handling chassis with the, by then, dominant Yamaha engines. For a decade or more Cooper was the man to beat at Mallory Park, whether Manx Norton, BSA Rocket 3 or Yamsel mounted.
