Phillip McCallen made history and captured the imagination of fans in 1996 by becoming the first rider to win four TTs in a single week - his all-action style aboard the mighty RC45 remains an unforgettable sight, even three decades later.

Records also tumbled in the sidecar class, as local hero Dave Molyneux stormed to a memorable double victory. While McCallen was in unstoppable form, there was still room in the schedule for Joey Dunlop to add win numbers 20 and 21 to his legendary tally, with Jim Moodie the only other rider to stand on the top step of the podium that year.
