With support
classes covering Period 1 - Veteran (up to December 31st, 1919), Period 2 - Vintage
(January 1st, 1920 to December 31st, 1945), Period 3 - Classic (January 1st, 1946
to December 31st, 1962), Period 4 - Post Classic (January 1st, 1963 to December 31st, 1972) and Period 5
- Forgotten Era
(January 1st, 1973 to December 31st, 1982), there were forty (40) events
interspersed between the four International Challenge races.
I have recorded
race images from a variety of solo races in this section to give some idea
of the scope of machinery in action throughout the event.
'PERIOD 2 - VINTAGE' IMAGES:
This class includes Vintage
motorcycles manufactured between 1st January 1920 and 31st December 1945. I have
'digitally aged' some of the images in this class.
