Phillip Mccallen to headline Winter Classic!

TT legend Phillip Mccallen is our guest of honour at the Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic Show. This promises to be a real New Year treat for motorcycle fans.

The popular road-racer will be joining the crowds at Newark Showground on January 8-9 and be interviewed over the weekend by fellow former racing star-turned-presenter and TT winner, Steve Plater.

Phillip Mccallen is one of the most gifted road racers of the modern age; 11 times a winner at the Isle of Man TT, multiple-winner at the North West 200 and the Ulster GP, winner of the Macau Grand Prix and British Supersport.

At the peak of his powers ‘Supermac’ collected winners’s’ trophies at almost all the road race meetings he took part in. In 1992 at the North West 200 Mccallen had five race wins from six starts. At the 1996 Ulster GP he took five wins in one day, and perhaps his crowning glory was winning four races out five at the Isle of Man TT, a record which stood unbroken for 14 years. Mccallen retired after nearly two decades of motorcycle racing.

Showgoers can expect to see the usual attractions that make this season opener a stand-out event. Motorcycle owners’ clubs will return with their impressive displays alongside a large indoor and outdoor trade and auto-jumble section, and a large collection of privately-owned motorcycles will be on display. There will also be live firing-up sessions of a selection of bikes and scooters, leading on to the large and musicfilled Scooter World and Custom Bike Halls. Tickets for the event are on sale now at an early bird price of £10 until January 3.
