This print captures the legendary W O Bentley, a true icon of car and bike racing in the early 20th century. In 1914, Bentley participated in the prestigious Tourist Trophy race driving a French-built D. F. P. This event marked an important moment in his racing career as he decided to retire from car racing after this particular competition. However, this was not Bentley's first encounter with the TT race. Years earlier, in 1909, he fearlessly rode on a Rex motorcycle for his debut appearance at the TT. The following year, he switched to an Indian motorcycle but unfortunately retired from both races due to unforeseen circumstances. The intensity and passion radiating from Bentley's determined expression is palpable in this image. It serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment towards pushing boundaries and achieving greatness within the world of motorsports. This print allows us to delve into history and witness one man's journey through various vehicles and challenges that defined him as an exceptional racer. It encapsulates not only W O Bentley's remarkable achievements but also highlights the evolution of motor racing during those formative years. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are reminded of W O Bentley's indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations of racers even today.
