Avon Tyres continued to support sidecar and solo entrants at the Isle of Man TT in 2017, dominating the sidecar race, with all the podium places taken by Avon-shod outfits.
As well as supporting its racers, the Avon Motorsport team was celebrating 60 years since the first 100mph TT lap was achieved, by the legendary Bob McIntyre, on a four-cylinder Gilera 500 fitted with Avon tyres. A replica of the bike was on show at the TT VIP tent, on Avon Speedmaster and GP rubber.
Avon Tyres raised more than £2000 for the Down’s Syndrome Association from the production and sale of limited-edition T-shirts, designed in celebration of the 60-year anniversary.
The Avon team is now back in Melksham, Wiltshire, for a short break before the Classic TT in August.
