McGuinness Lap Record TT 2009
McGuinness Lap Record TT 2009 Already the man to beat at the Isle of Man TT, John McGuinness reaffirmed his dominance of the event in 2009. In the Superbike race he claimed not only his 15th TT win ? putting second behind Joey Dunlop in the list of most TT victories ? but also set a new outright lap record around the 37.73-mile Mountain course. But there was more to come. On Friday, June 12th, 2009, during the Senior TT race, McGuinness took his 1000cc HM Plant Honda Superbike around the circuit at an AVERAGE speed of 131.578mph, smashing the lap record he had set just four days earlier and making him the first man to set an Official Outright Lap Record in excess of 131mph at the TT. It was an historic moment, soured only by his retirement from the race with a broken chain while in a commanding lead. Despite that disappointment, however, this was a moment to savour, and this wonderful image, complete with details of this staggering record lap, is a wonderful celebration of McGuinness and his remarkable achievements. The image was captured by Isle of Man-based Racing Pix, the company of respected photographer and lifelong motorcycle racing fan Steve Corlett. This image is printed onto high quality 375gsm, PH-neutral matte canvas approved to Fine Art Trade Guild and Wilhelm Imaging Research standards. Combined with the Epson pigment based inks, canvases are guaranteed to remain crisp and vibrant for more than 75 years. Each print is UV sealed for ultimate protection, and is supplied complete with a special hanging bracket for flush fitting onto standard picture hooks. The canvases are stretched over a finger jointed, kiln dried?Scandinavian pine stretching frame. The canvas print is available in a variety of sizes - A0 (47?x33?/840mmx1188mm approx), A1 (33?x24?/594mmx840mm approx), A2 (24?x16?/420mmx594mm approx), A3 (16?x12?/297mmx420mm approx) and A4 (8"x12"/210mmx297mm approx). This image is also available as a mounted or unmounted print.
