A superb and rare image of the Ducati 750 TT1 Formula 1 factory racer, ridden by Victor Palomo. He is seen during action of the prestigious Spanish 24 Hours of Montjuich.

In the early 1970’s, long distance racing was extremely popular in Europe. These events were responsible for the quick gaining popularity of the heavier sports motorcycle, like the Ducati 750 SS, the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, The Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans and the Benelli 650 Tornado, the BMW R 90 S Daytona and the Laverda SFC 750; but also the Japanese sports motorcycles like the Kawasaki 350, 500 and 750 triples, but also heavy four strokes like the Honda CB 750 Four. Riders that would make world fame, like Franco Uncini and Marco Lucchinelli, all participated in these races before they made the steps to the Grand Prix World Championship racing scene. The foundation for today’s Superbike racing series was laid in the 1980’s, when the TT Formula 1 and TT Formula 2 racing classes became very popular. Ducati had with the 750 TTF1 a formidable machine that evolved into a fine road bike too: the Ducati 750 F1.

Montjuic, alternatively spelled Montjuïc or Montjuich, is a hill located in the Spanish city op Barcelona, Spain. The roads in the slopes facing the city formed once the famous Montjuic circuit, where for decades motorcycle and car races were being organized. For decades the 24 Hours of Barcelona races were ridden at Montjuic, and also the Spanish Grand Prix races. On four occasions Formula One car races were organized on the Montjuic circuit.
