Honda wins International Grand Prix Championship in historic sweep of world-wide racing classics.

During 1961, Honda motorcycles scored the greatest sweep in the history of the European Grand Prix racing circuit - winning the International Grand Prix Championships in both the 125 cc and 250 cc classes and establishing Honda riders Tom Phillis and Mike Hailwood, respectively, as World Championship Riders in those classes.
The supremacy of Honda machines in the world's top racing classics was highlighted by Honda's amazing domination of the first 5 places in both the 125 and 250 cc classes at the Isle of Man TT, biggest international racing event of them all.
In scores of other major races around the globe where international motorcycle manufacturers compete in technical and engineering skill - such as the Daytona Grand Prix, in which Honda machines swept both the 125 and 250 cc classes - Honda proved time and again during 1961 its claim to the title, "World's Finest Motorcycles."
