The 2009 Isle of Man TT Official Review delivers comprehensive coverage of a record-breaking event, with edge-of-the-seat drama from every race, special features and informed commentary from Steve Parrish and James Whitham.
Produced for the first time by North One Television, there’s more on-board cameras with top riders than ever before and the slow-motion sequences recorded with the Hi-Motion camera are a spellbinding innovation. The skill it takes to control 240bhp superbikes at over 190mph has never been so spectacularly captured.
Experience every vital moment, including John McGuinness scoring his 15th TT win and setting a new outright lap record - an average speed of 131.578mph around the 37.73-mile course. There’s the unforgettable PokerStars Senior TT triumph by Steve Plater, the fearsome battles between Ian Hutchinson and Guy Martin, the heartbreak of Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, the emotional return of the Dunlop name to the winner’s step and much more.
Plus, Sidecar legend Dave Molyneux’s 14th TT win and the inaugural TTXGP - a race for clean emission motorcycles which once again put the TT at the forefront of motorcycle technology.
Dramatic action, incredible on-board footage, interviews and behind-the-scenes features make this the essential record of another historic year for the Isle of Man TT.
Bonus features - On-board with MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, interviews with Murray Walker O.B.E. and Steve Plater, on-board laps from Billown and more.

Race Track Archeology, Dover Speedway

07/07/09 10:42 Filed in: Tracks

The advent of satellite map services like Google Earth has made it easier for the archeologist to find evidence of long forgotten and abandon race tracks. I always knew that there had been a track in Dover, NJ, I even knew where it had been. To me it seemed like nothing could have survived all these years, but an article in the local paper peaked my interest. When I found an old survey showing the layout of the track I decided to have a look on Google Earth to see if anything still remained. When I saw that turns 3 and 4 plus a section of the front straightway had been located in what now is a wooded section I thought maybe you could still see some evidence. I rode over to the site and it didn’t seem as though the woods had been disturbed since the track closed in 1955. Once in the woods I could clearly see parts of the turn 4 banking. The woods were very dense and I decided that a winter exposition would yield more information. But it was cool to see some remains. Stay turned for my next visit!

On the grid looking back at turn 4. 1947. The famous Ted Horn is seen leaning on his Offy
sprintcar “Baby”. Horn was a big name at the time. He was AAA national champion 3 years,
qualified on the pole at Indy in the Boyle Maserati and finished second a couple of times.

Jaguar entered the 1955 L.M. 24-hour race with a version of the D-Type which has a bonnet seven inches longer than the standard model. Hence the name "Long nose D-Type". The car had a cover above the passenger space, a fin behind the driver's head and a higher windscreen.
Under the bonnet the XK engine had a new wide-angle head and larger valves, which boosted the 3.4 litre 6-cylinder engine with three Weber carburettors to 265-270 bhp. The construction of the car combined a front chassis frame with an all-aluminium monocoque for the bodywork.
Mated with a 4-speed gearbox, front and rear disc brake and 6.5 x 16 tyres, the car could reach a maximum speed of over 300 km/h and was able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 5 seconds.
The three factory teams competing in the race were Ferrari, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. The outcome was overshadowed by the worst accident in the history of motor sport. About two hours after the 24-hour L.M. race had begun, two cars collided on the race track. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR was catapulted into the air and crashed amongst the crowd. The car disintegrated, killing the driver and seventy-seven spectators and injuring many others. The race was allowed to continue in order to prevent departing spectators from crowding onto the roads and obstructing the approaching ambulances. Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb won the race in the Jaguar D-type, which had achieved a record average speed of 107 miles/hour (172.3 km/h). The remaining Mercedes cars were withdrawn from the race as a sign of respect to the accident victims.

The traffic route of the Targa and Coppa Florio, the race of „7.000 curves”, led through tight mountain roads right through the mountain villages of Sicily. The Targa Florio included four rounds, the Coppa one more. Each round had a length of 108 km. To win the Targa, doesn`t ment to win the Coppa also, because to stay one more round in this hard street race, was no walk in the park.
Christian Werner made it – supported by his co-pilot Karl Sailer. The major job of Sailer was to keep the gas tank per manual pump under pressure and take care about the grease lubrication. At the 27th of April in 1924 the team wins with the compressor Mercedes both titles. Also they were able to establish a new track record with 1 hour and 35 minutes for one round. His team mates Christian Lautenschlager and Alfred Neubauer placed 10th and 15th. In the team competition Mercedes placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Some confusion caused the painting of the bolids. Instead of the typical white painting of German racing cars of that time, the Targa Florio came with a shining italian red. Rumours are saying, that the Mercedes crew was trying to prevent attacks (throwing of stones) from hot-blooded sicilian fans.

By 1931 Alfa Romeo and Bugatti had become serious opponents for Mercedes-Benz on the race track. Professor Ferdinand Porsche, head of Mercedes-Benz’s racing car development, responded by reducing the weight of the SSK, known as “White Elephant“ because of its mighty appearance, overwhelming power and white painting. Over 125 kg were shed after holes were drilled in the frame and every other possible place that was not safety-relevant. As a result, the SSK transformed into the SSKL (Super Sport Kurz Leicht = Super Sport Short Light). With this new racing car, Afred Neubauer (head of the racing department) and his very small crew, undertook their greatest racing adventure ever at the Mille Miglia in 1931.

11th of April, 3:20 pm: Rudolf Caracciola and his co-driver Wilhelm Sebastian started off with the number 87 against their Italian competitors. They appeared unbeatable from early on. The 1,635 km roadway stretched from Brescia to Bologna, Florenz, and Rom. Then the racers had to cross the Abruzzo region and continued along the Adriatic coast to Ancona, where they turned to headed back to Bologna, Ferrara, Treviso, and finally Brescia.
12th of April, 7:22 am: After 16 hours, 10 minutes and 10 seconds, the victor of the Mille Miglia crossed the finish line. He set an outstanding new track record, averaging101.1 km/h. To make the sensation complete, it was the first time in the history of the Mille Miglia that the championship was won by a non-Italian driver in a car of foreign make: Rudolf Caracciola, the titan of the steering wheel in a Mercedes-Benz SSKL. It was a time when economic depression was plaguing the world. There was little support that Mercedes could have granted to its racing team. The team didn’t even had enough men for all the refuel stops. So the small crew had to take shortcuts so that they could reach the next refuel stop before Caracciola.

We are celebrating the 75th anniversary of this terrific victory in 2006. CMC observes the occasion of this event with a perfect replica of the unforgetable champion car.

After extensive and time-consuming research, CMC is able to uncover many details that are important in presenting the original look of the 1931 Mille Miglia victor. All these details are incorporated into the precision model that CMC is offering to you. This all-metal model is composed of 1,885 parts.

1954. Mercedes-Benz returned after the war to the Formula-1-racing. At the premiere in Reims, three new Silver Arrows came to use and with their complete new body they caused a lot of excitement at the audience and a lot of nervouseness at their competitors. The world has never seen before such an easy cutting, elegant and streamlined racing car. The sensation was perfect, as the Mercedes with Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling realised a terrific double at the first go. Fangio became 1954/1955 double word champion, but also Kling, Stirling Moss, Hans Herrmann and Piero Taruffi were celebrated stars. They all celebrated a lot of triumphs with the streamline version and also with the parallel used W 196 Monoposto, the version with the freestanding wheels. This story of big success ended like it began. The Grand Prix seasons last race in 1955 in Monza, Fangio was again able to win with the streamline version and starting number 18. Mercedes retired from the Formula-1-racing one more time. And the glorious era of the Silver Arrows ended. The fullmetal model is handmounted of more than 1.100 parts. The interaction of precision, details and functionality, the use of high-class material and the brilliant paintwork in finest polish are making this to a masterpiece of model architecture.

In 1954 a special and uniquely hand built vehicle appeared from the workshops of Daimer-Benz: the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter. With its deep blue coloured Daimler-Benz paintwork, the soft curves of the chassis and a max. speed of 170 km/h it caused just as much wonderment as the racing cars W 196 and 300 SLR on the loading bed.
After Daimler-Benz withdrew from Formula 1 racing at the end of 1955 this vehicle disappeared from the public view. Sadly the original was scrapped in 1967.
At the beginning of the 1990’s Daimler-Benz recalled this souvenir and under the direction of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center a replica of the original was again constructed, bringing the solitaire “back to life”.
On the occasion of the 100 year company anniversary parade for the brand Mercedes-Benz in 2001 the racing car transporter was presented to an exited public at the Festival of Speed in Goodwood in South England.

In the beginning of the year 1938 the racing team of Auto Union had to face a difficult situation: The contract with Ferdinand Porsche was cancelled, and Bernd Rosemeyer was killed in an accident in January trying to break the speed world record.
Eberan von Eberhorst replaced Ferdinand Porsche as designer. And “Il Diavolo“ Tazio Nuvolari could be won as successor for the national hero Rosemeyer.
The “Flying man from Mantua” who got his nicknames due to his spectacular style of driving won the Grand Prix of Italy and England in an Auto Union Type D in 1938.
In the following year Auto Union gained a double victory in Reims withe the drivers H.P. Müller and Schorsch Meier despite the tough competition of the Mercedes Silver Arrows. And Nuvolari gained the last Grand Prix before the Second World War with an Auto Union Type D in Belgrad on the 3rd of September in 1939.
The Auto Union Type D newly defines modeling: more than 680 parts, each hand assembled, make it a collectors item par excellence. The paint of the body is of first class quality. It gives the car an excellent brilliance that is unpralleled in modeling.

The engine displacement of the 300 SL has been increased to 3.1 litres, and therefore reached 177 hp. Kling’s car collided with a vulture 50 km ahead of the finish which broke the windshield.

Maserati Birdcage – Type 61, 1960


genius
Maserati_Tipo

A charmingly graceful body designed by the mastermind Giulio Alfieri, who integrated a light frame of barely 30 kg with more than 200 single pieces of tube. Because of this engineering innovation, the Maserati Tipo 60/61 acquired the legendary nickname “Birdcage”. Only 23 units were made during the years from 1959 through 1961. The American Lucky Casner was one of the most successful owners of the Birdcage Tipo 61. In May 1960, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney won the 1,000-km race of Nürburg-ring. With the starting number 5, they accomplished an outstanding victory in the pouring rain against keen competition. Only one year later the Camoradi Team (Casner Motor Racing Division) repeated the winning record with Casner and Gregory as the drivers. These consecutive victories added new glory to Maserati and sustained its everlasting top position in the illustrious circle of racing car manufacturers. Our model is composed of 1,140 single parts, 507 of which are made of stainless steel, copper, and brass. This model is an exact replica of the winning car of Moss/ Gurney. What is extraordinary about its build is the adherence of its body to a cage-like framework as if it were a second skin. While looking at the exact details of this model, you are likely to feel transported back to the adventurous experience of racing in old times.

90 years Maserati: reason enough for CMC to concern ourselfes closer with that brand which is without a doupt one of the italian racing car manufacturers with the most venerable history. CMC decided to appreciate this birthday with a replication of the 250 F. After all this racing car is called the most beautiful Monoposto who ever hit the racetrack. Also was the year 1957 doubtless one of the distinguished and eventfulliest of the companies history. Back then at the 4th of August, more than 200.000 people spectated the start of the Grand Prix of the century at the Nürburgring.

After a acrimonious fight with his both biggest rivals Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1, Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate with his lightweight constructed Maserati 250 F and only with a head start of 3.6 seconds one of his largest triumphs. Because with that terrific victory Fangio conquered his 5th world championship title and became a legend of racing car history, and so did the 250 F.

The full metal model is made of 1.387 single handmounted parts. And as we show you here, we focused our attention not only at the body. Also the “inner life” of the model was build with the highest possible level of details. Even if some of the parts are invisible for your eyes after the assembling – just like the original.

1950 marked the inception of the Formula One World Championship. From Day One, Ferrari was involved in this highest class of auto racing, flashing a distinctive symbol of the small black prancing horse called “Cavallino Rampante” in Italian. In fact, Ferrari is the only F1 participant that has remained active ever since. Its record of successes is just as im-pressive. In 1951 Alfa Romeo – the toughest opponent of Ferrari – decided to quit the Formula 1 series. The rules for competition were subsequently changed so that Formula 2 racing cars were allowed to participate in the championship. Luckily Ferrari had already developed one – the 500 F2. The new car was light-weighted and compact in size. Other new features included a very low barycentre, wellbalanced distribu­tion of the aggregates, good brakes and high torque. Developed by Aurelio Lampredi, the 4-cylinder engine was capable of rendering 185 hp. All these gave the 500 F2 a superior manoeuvre and response to handling. But there was more. The driver of the 500 F2 was none other than the exceptionally gifted Alberto Ascari. It was not without reason that he was known as ”The flying Milan“.

Ascari drove his 500 F2 to the title of a two-time world champion in 1952 and 1953. Other drivers such as Villoresi, Farina, Taruffi and the young Mike Hawthorn also contributed to the winning streak of the 500 F2. This legendary car virtually won everything there was to win during these years, hence its nickname “the Super-Ferrari.” With the return of the Mercedes and the rise of the Maserati in the 1954 season, Ferrari was faced with new cha­lenges. As a result, its winning streak came to a temporary end. One year later – in 1955, Alberto Ascari died of a tragic accident in Monza, and the whole nation of Italy was deeply mournful. This allmetal model is a sincere tribute to the legendary Ferrari 500 F2, the world championship car of 1953. Hand assembled from 1,463 parts, M-056 is exactly detailed and feature the craft­manship and precision that make CMC miniatures so special in the hearts of collectors. Just take a look under the engine hood or remove the rear part to assure yourself! By the way, you can save your’re time if you want to know how many rivets are included on the gas- and oiltank. We already did that job for you. 526 single rivets were necessary to rebuild the tanks true to the original.

The rise of the company "Audi" is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating stories in the 100-odd years of automobile history.
It began with one special name: August Horch. In June 1909, the top management of Horch decided that its founder August Horch had to leave the company. Undaunted by this twist of fate, August sought to launch a new automobile plant on his own. Only four weeks later, his dream virtually came true: The "August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH" was officially registered in Zwickau, Saxony on July 16, 1909. But the Horch plants took August to court, claiming exclusive use rights of the name "Horch" for themselves. August Horch lost the trial and had to find a new name. He wound up renaming his new plant “Audi”, the imperative case of the Latin verb "audire" – meaning "Horch!" in German.
2009 marks the 100th anniversary of Audi. This is reason enough for CMC to introduce a real classic miniature: the Audi Front 225 Roadster. First presented to the public in 1935, the car proved to be a real sensation for its time. Sporty and graceful, its body was a feast for the eyes. The aerodynamic line management enhanced the charming sporty look of its overall configuration in particular. CMC offers this ravishingly beautiful hand-assembled miniature of more than 1,600 single parts in three different two-tone colour versions. Each colour combination brings out the glamour of this extraordinary model in a special way.
Celebrate with us 100 years of Audi.

In 1973, Mercedes-Benz showed one of its most successful types. The big surprise turned out to be successful, people were delighted at the elegant Mercedes 450 SL at the Geneva Automobile-Saloon. The huge V-8 engine with 4.520 ccm and 225 hp reached a maximum speed of 218 km/h. Therefore it wasn't astonishing that Mercedes could sell more than 66.000 units of this type within only seven years. The models are hand assembled from more than 280 pieces. High-quality material and love for details determine the quality. The hard top of the 450, for example, is covered with dark blue textile.

In 1938 a new racing formula was introduced, which limited the displacement of racing cars with a compressor to 3 litres. This changed rule was determining motor racing sport of the succeeding years.

Mercedes-Benz developed an entirely new V12-engine with 485 hp for the W 154. A 5-speed transmission was added and was directly mounted on the de Dion rear axle. One tank was in the rear, a second in the cockpit, above the driver’s legs.

In this vehicle the drivers Caracciola, Lang, von Brauchitsch and Seaman of the Daimler-Benz team gained one victory after the other. In 1938 Caracciola became European Champion. At the French Grand Prix on the 3rd of July, 1938, Mercedes-Benz gained a triple victory: von Brauchitsch came in first, Caracciola second and Hermann Lang third. In 1939 Hermann Lang became European Champion with the further developed W 154.
