Well, they did have a point. Rotary engines are well known to produce more power per CC than a piston engine. It's easy to see that in the corners they were similar but in the straights they just had WAY more punch. At the time they? probably didn't quite know what to do with the rotaries to class them appropriately.

The japs did everything they could to get the Norton's banned apparently. Especially disputing the equivalent capacity of the rotary bikes against the "traditional" non-rotary japanese machines. Bloody typical that - they knew they were beat and that was with a fraction of? the budget the jap teams operate on. Brian Crighton was the Norton rotary engineer largely responsible for the bikes ( along with others of course ), I believe he is also involved in the 2010 Isle of Man TT Norton bid too.

fishbmw - I have this whole race on VHS and it is Ray Stringer as Trevor Nation was out with a badly broken hand and was watching from the sidelines - what you don't see is that the guy who has a massive slide does it again and they stop the race from the resulting crash and then when they re-start it again the Nortons did the business on the first lap again? lol......

remember these heady days even as a 6 yr old. me and my dad were fans of spray on the jps norton. i never realised at the time just how rapid the norton was.? essentially a shed built special compared to the might of the japanese. thanks to brian crighton.

The Japanese "didn't like it up 'em!" lol?

I remember watching JPS Nortons on TV, they always seemed to annihilate everything on the straights and lose? it on the corners, although judging from this race my memories are hazy.
By: DarthHoll77. on 25 Jun 09, 18:33:39

By: fishbmw. on 26 Feb 09, 15:17:43

By: auto4union. on 02 Jan 09, 18:48:54
Would be interesting to see? if you could put the "RE5" engine in a racing chassis and see how it does?With a bit of tuning maybe!Always fancied trying that...!Like Wankels for some reason!Peace ye`all!
