2024 Hailwood Trophy Part 2 highlights

Overall it was very much the Phil Atkinson show with him and his Yamaha TZ350G putting on a show of dominance yet again. Of course, Glen English and Dan Jackson gave a good chase, but they couldn’t quite match Atkinson’s pace.

Jackson made a better go of it in race two, pipping English to best of the rest behind Atkinson, with English scuppering himself with an off on the way through St. Mary’s. The combined result shows a convincing victory for Atkinson who will be celebrating a very productive weekend indeed.

What an opener the first race was, with plenty of action from start to finish, including a hugely climactic final lap battle for victory.

It’s always good fun to see these brilliant bikes make the charge to Madgwick in close formation, but it was Dan Jackson on the number 55 machine that made a lightning start and opened up a huge gap on the opening lap. He was soon reeled in, however, by Phil Atkinson and Glen English on a pair of Yamaha TZ350Gs.

A brief red flag saw the field reconvene on the grid for a second standing start, and from there the race for victory was well and truly on. We could not take our eyes off of this breathless three-way battle that went all the way to the line after a final corner overtake at the Chicane.

It’s always a welcome interlude from the four-wheel racing here at Goodwood, and this year sees yet another brilliantly eclectic field of two-wheel machinery battling hard as always for honours.

Saturday morning’s practice session gave us our first look of who’s in the running for victory this weekend, and it was Glen English on his Yamaha TZ350G who took pole for Race 1 of the Hailwood Trophy which is scheduled to begin at 16:45 on Saturday afternoon.

Emanuele Pirro had more success in his motorcycle adventure this year, as he set the 20^th fastest time astride his Exactweld Yamaha TZ250.
