1989 Isle of Man TT Review

This is a high-octane motorcycle racing novel for reluctant teen readers. Scott has one obsession: to fulfill his late father's dream of racing in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races, the most dangerous and prestigious motorcycle road race in the world. Far from their home in British Columbia and still reeling from a recent tragedy, Scott and his roommates-turned-pit crew have only five days during Practice Week to secure a spot in the TT. Scott must qualify with a fast enough time or he doesn't race. But the pressure of working with a rookie crew on the potentially lethal course puts Scott's safety and his friendships on the line. As race day draws near he and his friends will have to swallow their pride to help Scott achieve his dream.

Motocourse 1995-96 is the 20th Issue of the World's Leading MotoGP and Superbike Annual. 1995 was a pivotal year for motor cycle racing. While Michael Doohan sailed to his second successive victory in dominant (if erratic) style and Carl Fogarty did the same thing in the growing Superbike series, a new generation was bubbling up beneath. The 1995 season saw Kevin Schwantz quit prematurely, a legend bringing an era to a close; his replacement Daryl Beattie rise to the occasion, running Doohan close for overall honours; new machines readied for future 500 class battle, from Japan and Europe; Scott Russell switch from Superbikes to GPs, changing the relationship of the two major World Championship series and a new wave of young riders cutting their teeth.
