Fine Art Print : A lop-sided podium finisher
Fine Art Prints from BikeSport
A lop-sided podium finisher
Having blown up his big BMW (the rules did not allow 500s to run in the 750 Sidecar), Heinz Luthringhauser put an oversize barrel on one side of his 500 to get his start money. The off-beat engine ran well and he finished second to Siegfried Schauzu. When the bike was measured, they took the small barrel off and wanted to exclude him. They were told to tke the other barrel off, the mis-matched pair added up to over 500CC

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we witness the remarkable ingenuity and determination of Heinz Luthringhauser, a lop-sided podium finisher. Despite being unable to run his powerful 500CC BMW in the 750 Sidecar race due to regulations, Luthringhauser refused to let that stop him from competing. With an unwavering spirit, he devised a clever solution - attaching an oversized barrel on one side of his bike to meet the required engine capacity. Surprisingly, this off-beat contraption not only ran smoothly but propelled Luthringhauser to an impressive second-place finish behind Siegfried Schauzu. However, when officials measured his bike after the race, they initially intended to exclude him for breaking the rules. Undeterred by their decision, Luthringhauser challenged them by suggesting they remove the small barrel and instead focus on its counterpart. To everyone's astonishment, it was revealed that both barrels combined exceeded 500CC! This extraordinary tale showcases not only Luthringhauser's resourcefulness but also highlights the exhilarating world of motorcycle racing where passion often triumphs over adversity. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to human resilience and creativity within the thrilling realm of motorsports.
