William Dunlop has joined the newly formed Team National Motorcycle Museum Racing for this year's Classic TT.
He will ride one of the museum’s original and iconic Rotary Norton bikes from the 1992 British Championship season in the Formula 1 race.
He'll be following in his father's footsteps, as the 1990 TT campaign saw Robert Dunlop and his JPS Norton team mate Trevor Nation score podium positions in the Formula 1 race.
The bike is most famous for Steve Hislop’s 1992 Senior TT win, when he rode it to victory against the might of the works Yamaha of Carl Fogarty.
William says it's going to be 'pretty special' to ride the machine:Clip 1
