Which rider became the first to win four Isle of Man TT races in a single week, in 1996?

Phillip McCallen became the first rider to win four Isle of Man TT races in a single week in 1996.

Riding for Honda, the Northern Irishman won the Formula One, Senior, Junior and Production TTs during the meeting. The achievement was especially notable because it covered the principal solo races across different categories rather than four versions of the same contest. McCallen narrowly missed making it five when he led the Lightweight TT early on before finishing fourth.

His record stood until Ian Hutchinson won five races in a week in 2010. The 1996 achievement is sometimes mixed up with Michael Dunlop’s later four-win weeks, but McCallen was the pioneer. He finished his TT career with 11 victories, placing him among the event’s most successful riders, and also recorded five wins from six starts at the 1992 North West 200 and five wins in one day at the 1996 Ulster Grand Prix.
