1956 TT & ULSTER GRAND PRIX DOCUMENTARY DVD

This documentary reviews three classic motorcycle battles from 1956. During this exhilarating season the Sidecar TT, Senior TT and Ulster Grand Prix races were captured in colour, complete with unique commentary and soundtrack from the era. Featuring heroes John Surtees, Dickie Dale and Bob McIntyre.

Sidecar TT:
Scores of riders gathered at the 14 mile Clypse Course for a classic en-masse start, marking the beginning of a close-run sidecar race. During the event the BMW team of Hillebrand, Schneider and Noll were challenged by the cream of Britain's charioteers for podium honours.

Senior TT:
John Surtees, riding an MV Agusta, was the favourite to win his first Senior TT event in 1956 - a goal he managed after beating other riders on BMW - Norton - and Matchless machines. Surtees also overcame the Moto Guzzi team of Bill Lomas by attempting, unsuccessfully, to finish the race without a fuel stop!

Ulster Grand Prix:
The 7.4 mile Dundrod circuit of the Ulster Grand Prix in Belfast hosted a mix of works and private riders, and this short documentary has highlights of the popular 350cc - 500cc and sidecar events.
