1997 - the 90th milestone of the Isle of Man TT mega festival - was a scorching year in more ways than one; sun hotter than hell and blistering racing to match as the world's best road racers - Phillip McCallen, Joey and Robert Dunlop, Michael Rutter, Jim Moodie, Ian Simpson, Simon Beck, Bob Jackson - once more took on the 'Challenge of the Mountain'.
While the fans coped with sunburn, injured aces fought their own battle of wills. Following his Formula 1 victory, McCallen rode in excruciating pain to win both the Production and Senior TTs, and Robert Dunlop came back after serious injury in 1995 to claim a rostrum place.
Meanwhile big brother Joey added yet another victory to his tally, taking his total to an incredible 22 wins in 22 years.
Don't miss... Ian Lougher, snatching victory on the last lap. 'Simmo' Simpson, breaking lap and race records in his first TT win. Hanks/Biggs, Biggs/Biggs and Hanks/Wilson - sidecar families on top.
And that's just the racing!
We also feature pit lane drama, rider interviews, off-track antics, the Ramsey Sprint, the soaring Red Arrows and as ever, the fantastic fans who make the TT festival the unique event it is.
