Freddie Dixon - 2, 3 and four-wheel TT winner
Freddie Dixon was an unconventional mechanical genius. He designed and built the banking Douglas sidecar on which he won the 1923 Sidecar TT. His solo win came in the 1927 Senior TT on an HRD, and his 4-wheel TT wins came in the 1935/36 Tourist Trophy races, held on the Ards circuit in Ireland. He also won the 1933 Mannin Beg car race on a short circuit around Douglas. His Riley was fitted a carburettor to each cylinder, a fact he kept well-hidden from his competitors
