Bula's Grand Prix Motorcycle World Champinship of the World 1949-75 gives a different basis for assessing the number of counting rounds: "The calculation was done from placings obtained in half the number of events plus one. If there was an odd number of events, a further one was added, and the resulting number divided by two.... An extra point was awarded to the rider who had achieved the fastest lap."
This seems to suggest that four rounds would count for the 500 title, three for the 350 and 250, and two for the 125 and Sidecar.
And while I'm here - Syd Jensen please, not Sid ;)

I'm having a little bit of a hangover, so I'm not going too deep into this today, but one thing I noticed is the date of the TT races - they can't have been all on the same day! Usually, they were two days apart each, with the Junior event first, then Lightweight and Senior. Sometimes there were rain/fog delays, and two events may have been run on the same day, but I don't think they ever ran three (main) races in one day.

It's "Sid Jensen" in the Büla and Haefliger books. But if a New Zealander says "Syd" that should be trustworthy.

Büla gives "17 June" for all three TT races as does Haefliger for the 250 and 500 cc classes (no detailed statistics for 350 cc class there!). But Morrison says "13 - 15 June" without specifying which class ran on which day.

Seems I have to answer my questions by myself.

In addition to the results from my opening post this website produces the following placings of the 500 cc races (by clicking on "1949" and then on "Results") :

TT
6. Cyril Stevens (GBR) Triumph
7. Reg Armstrong (IRL) AJS
8. Bill Doran (GBR) AJS
9. Harry Hinton (AUS) Norton
10. Les Graham (GBR) AJS
11. Phil Heath (?) Norton
12. Bill Petch (GBR) Triumph
13. Guy Newman (?) Norton
14. Eric McPherson (AUS) AJS
15. Roy Evans (?) Norton
16. Bill Beevers (GBR) Norton
17. Jack Bailey (?) Triumph
18. Harry Turner (?) Norton
...
DNF Freddie Frith (GBR) Velocette
...

Swiss GP
6. Gianni Leoni (ITA) Moto Guzzi
7. BILLA (?) Velocette
8. RICHOZ (?) Norton
9. KAUFMAN (?) Gilera
10. CORDEL (?) Norton
11. Benoît Musy (SUI) Moto Guzzi

12. FACCHINELLI (ITA) Gilera
13. Orlando Valdinoci (ITA) Gilera
14. MARAMOTTI (?) Moto Guzzi
15. Oscar Clemencigh (ITA) Gilera

Note: Concurring with Büla I think „Gianni Leoni“ (6th at Bern and Spa) was in fact „Guido Leoni“ (4th at Monza).

http://www.iomtt.com...TT49&Race_Seq=5
http://www.iomtt.com...TT49&Race_Seq=6
http://www.iomtt.com...TT49&Race_Seq=7
contain full results from all the TT races.

From
http://www.chez.com/...OTO-GP-1949.htm
we can conclude that the races were held on 13 June (250 cc), 15 June (350 cc), and 17 June 1949 (500 cc).

BTW, according to Ian Morrison the fastest 500 cc lap at the Mountain circuit was actually achieved by Bob Foster (Moto Guzzi) who didn’t get the extra point because he didn’t finish the race. Morrison gives a speed of 89,75 mph (144,44 km/h) which translates into a time of 25.13,4 min.

In a similar way the fastest 500 cc lap at Bern was actually achieved by Ted Frend (AJS). Strangely Morrison gives a speed of 90,00 mph (144.84 km/h) which is slower than the speed attributed to Les Graham’s fastest lap.

Is nobody here who can show up with more race results?

Thank you, Michael!

What is your source?

I'm afraid you mixed up Cromie McCandless with Rex McCandless at the Ulster GP. They were brothers, Rex the elder one, Cromie the younger one. I think it was in fact Rex in 6th place in Belfast.

Also Les Graham's 6th place finish in Monza seems unlikely to me. According to "25 Jahre Motorrad-WM" by Helmut Krackowizer & Mick Woollett (p. 58) Graham was fighting for the lead with Carlo Bandirola who fell, his Gilera skidding into Graham's AJS causing him to go down, too.

Another website that might contain some info (it looks like the Japanese site has taken its info from there):
http://www.gazzetta....ario/1949.shtml

Unfortunately no 350cc or sidecar results, and I don't know how accurate it is as the number six of Assen is wrong...

Source was Maurice Bula, "Continental Circus". I'm afraid I haven't done much research about motorcycle racing lately, so I'm under no illusion about the possible defects of my info. What I know is that Bula's info certainly isn't beyond doubt!

That is puzzling me!

As I mentioned before I have the 2001 edition of that book (covering 1949 - 2000) and it contains - despite the promise on the rear cover ("Alle Kategorien, alle Rennen, alle Ergebnisse") - only the points scoring results. Therefore no 6th places in 1949. :confused:

Do you have another edition?

That should be the same book.

My Krackowizer /Woollett book is the 1975 German-language edition of Woollett's "Racing Motor Cycles" from 1973, updated by Krackowizer.

Yes, 1973 I think - there's also a 1983 edition. Unfortunately, many years ago when I was loaned both these books, I copied the content but neglected to copy the bibliographical info! :blush:

Dutch TT
Assen (NED) 16,536 km (10,275 miles) circuit

350 cc (9 July) 15 laps = 248,040 km (154,12 miles)
29 finishers

1. Freddie Frith	   (GBR) Velocette   1:47.52,0 h = 137,97 km/h (85,73 mph)

2. Bob Foster		  (GBR) Velocette   1:47.53,9 h (+	1,9 s)

3. Johnny Lockett	  (GBR) Norton	  1:49.48,9 h (+ 1.56,9 min)

4. Malcolm Whitworth   (GBR) Velocette   1:49.57,1 h (+ 2.05,1 min)

5. Eric McPherson	  (AUS) Velocette   (Time not released)

Fastest lap: Freddie Frith (Velocette) 7.01,9 min = 141,10 km/h (87,67 mph)


Apologies for bumping this old thread but I have news!

I have just acquired a copy of The Motor Cycle with a report of the Dutch TT. It has Ted Frend getting the fastest lap in the 350s at a tad over 88mph. I've seen Freddie Frith's name quoted in other places, but I'm fairly certain this can't be a misprint because in another part of the magazine, it mentions Frith having scored fastest laps in the first two races, rather than the first three. Unfortunately, it's not a full set of results but it lists the first twelve in all three classes that raced. You also get the odd reference to other starters (such as Lo Simons), but it neglects to mention them any further.

24 others I don't have info


I don't have detailed info, but from the text I can ascertain the following. There were 40 starters in the 350cc race. Including the following not listed previously.

George Morrison AUS ?
Rod Coleman NZ ? - "New Zealand's chances sank when Rod Coleman ran out of road at the last bend before the start. Fortunately he was unhurt."
Les Graham GBR AJS - "But Graham's effort was short-lived. His engine developed a misfire and, on lap 9, he retired."
Harold Daniell GBR Norton
Bill Doran GBR AJS - "The contest for first place lost its tingling intensity when Doran fell at Laaghalerveen corner. Apart from a broken footrest, there was no damage to rider or machine."
Ken Bills GBR ?

The fastest lap was by Ted Frend at 88.03 mph.

Enrico Lorenzetti was scheduled to compete in both the 350 and 500 races, but withdrew from the 350s.

A picture shows that Bob Foster had the race number 53 and Frith 52 in the 350s.

Hi,

These will help you on 49 Assen.

1.) 350 entry list from programme
2.) Final entry list typed up by organisers after practice
3.) Lap scoring chart

There were 39 starters not 40. You'll see that at the end of lap 1 only 38 riders are shown, this is because G. Richards didn't finish the first lap (I've made the note on my copy of the lapchart)

I recently acquired a book called "The Racing Year" by G. S. Davison and it's got info I didn't previously have. It's got a lot about the Ulster Grand Prix, so I'll try and detail the important bits here. The finishers listed are the only finishers of each race.

"Entries were slightly down on those of the previous year - 35 in the Senior, 48 in the Junior and 23 in the Lightweight, a total of 106 as against 111 in 1948. There were of course a few non-starters, most notable of whom were Enrico Lorenzetti (Guzzi), winner of the 1948 Senior, A Meile (Gilera) and both Nigel Spring's 500 Velocettes, in the Senior class; F. Anderson (Guzzi) in the Junior; and F. Balzarotti (Guzzi) and Dario Ambrosini (Benelli) in the Lightweight."

"As usual there were two evening Practice periods on the Wednesday and Thursday before the race. The roads were wet on the first evening, and most riders were familiarizing themselves with the course, taking plug readings and making final decisions on carburetter settings, gear ratios and the like..."

250cc Ulster Grand Prix
1  M. Cann		   Guzzi	 2h 28m 31.6s
2  B. Ruffo		  Guzzi	 2h 30m 39s

Also from the book - "...Barrington, Balzarotti and Ambrosini all non-starters..."

"...Maurice Cann did the hat-trick, by winning it for the third year in succession. Barrington, after his fast lap on the Thursday evening, injured his shoulder in a crash at Clady and Maurice took over his machine."

"Roland Pike was still running a gallant third at half distance... If Roland could have kept up that speed he would have finished second but he packed up after the ninth lap and Mead came into third place.

Also mentioned (presumably retired) - L. J. Bayliss (Ellbee)

12 laps.

15 laps.

"There were 35 entries, but only 26 starters and the following, to take them in alphabetical order of makes, were the "possible winners": A.J.S., Bill Doran, Les Graham and Jock West; Gilera, Artesiani, Bandirola, Fusini and Pagani; Guzzi, Bertacchini and Bob Foster; Norton, Artie Bell, Harold Daniell and Johnnie Lockett."

Bob Foster ran out of fuel on the eighth lap.
On the last lap, Artesiani's carburetter packed up only a few miles from the finish.
