One Day in June DVD - Mike Hailwood
One Day in June DVD
The glorious return of one of motorcycle racing's biggest names to the Isle of Man TT is the stuff of legend, still one of the most talked about events at the fabled road race more than three decades on.
In 1978, multiple World Champion Mike Hailwood M.B.E. returned to the iconic 37.73-mile TT course, after a self-imposed 11 year absence from the world famous circuit. Few doubted Hailwood still possessed the legendary skill which had brought him 12 TT wins, but a comeback at 38, after more than a decade away, was still a daunting prospect.
With a fine handling, but under-powered Ducati V-Twin at his disposal, Mike the Bike went head-to-head with fellow great Phil Read, riding the much faster 4-cylinder Honda in the opening race of the TT festival. Amazingly, Hailwood roared to victory in the Formula One race.
Fortunately a crew from Outrider Films was on hand to capture this historic moment, and interviews with Hailwood himself as he explains how boredom with his '9-5 lifestyle' had brought him back to racing. This is a unique opportunity to see one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time in action in one of his most important races.
This short, but classic film, also includes footage from the Senior TT, where Hailwood raced a Yamaha against legends like Pat Hennen and Tom Herron.
