EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1961. The image captures the intense moment when Bob McIntyre, riding a Honda bike, came agonizingly close to achieving a remarkable feat at the Lightweight TT. Just four years after setting the first-ever ton lap on the legendary TT course, McIntyre was determined to push his limits once again. Mounted on his powerful 250 Honda four, he skillfully maneuvered through each turn and straightaway with precision and speed. Lap after lap, he pushed himself to the edge, chasing victory with unwavering determination. As spectators held their breaths in anticipation, McIntyre's incredible performance saw him clocking an impressive average speed of 99.58 mph – just shy of reaching another historic ton lap. However, fate had other plans for him as tragedy struck on that final lap when his engine broke down unexpectedly. Despite this heartbreaking setback for McIntyre, it paved the way for Mike Hailwood to claim victory in this fiercely contested race. Nevertheless, McIntyre's valiant effort will forever be remembered as a testament to his exceptional talent and unyielding spirit. This evocative print serves as a poignant reminder of both triumph and disappointment within the realm of motorsports history. It encapsulates not only the exhilarating moments experienced by these daring riders but also showcases their relentless pursuit of greatness amidst adversity
