Victorious times two in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy races were MSS Velocette Norton apparatus jockeys Michael Russell (not the 2009 Senior Manx Grand Prix winner) and Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix wins record-holder, Michael Rutter.
2013 Lightweight TT winner James Hillier/Dan Jackson led the fight to Russell/Rutter across the opening 16-lap race whilst the second contest, 14-laps long saw Herbert Schwab/2024 Senior TT winner Davey Todd finish second.
There achievement was made even more first-class given that they were piloting almost 100 years-old spec R63 Kompressor BMW tackle.
