Haslam and Honda reigned supreme in British F1 racing in 1979. So Suzuki sprung their secret weapon - Sheene on the Dunstall GS1000. It came within inches of working too. That was Haslam's winning margin in their one and only F1 encounter, which was fought out at Oulton Park. Barry put in four practice laps on another F1 Suzuki at Oulton in 1983 but didn't race it and was never that keen on four strokes.

The lap record of 137.150mph Sheene set in winning the 1977 Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps remains the fastest ever at a motorcycle Grand Prix and due to changes in track design it is highly unlikely that it will ever be bettered. Spa was the scene of his first ever GP win in 1971 and he is pictured leading Roberts in 1978.

Two super-stars on super-biikes. Bob McIntyre leads his Honda team-mate Jim Redman into the tight La Source hairpin bend during the 1962 Belgian 250cc Grand Prix. Even with identical riding and machine performance, Mac's narrow lead would look four times as great by the time they reached the ultra-fast Masta Straight. In fact half way round the last lap Redman's oil tank split and McIntyre went on to an easy win.

If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwoodâ€™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 neednâ€™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 wasnâ€™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.
