[ hide ]  *1 General ==General [  edit ] == During the FIM Congress was in October 1974 decided that the Formula 750 would be held in 1975 motorcycles from 300- to 750 cc, 25 of which had to be sold instead of 200. For the Grands Prix were set fixed times: 30 minutes for the 50cc class and 45 minutes for the other classes. Especially MV Agusta wanted longer races since herstroke engines less fuel consumption than the two-stroke engines, so that larger (heavier) tanks had to use either had to make fuel stops. The Snaefell Mountain Courseand the circuit of Opatija were finally rejected and from 1976 would lose their World Cup status and the circuits of Imatra and Brno had to be radically improved.

The FIM demanded from the organizers a minimum of four classes. Some of them invited that number too. On the one hand it was beneficial because now in any case all classes could be finished on the same day, but on the other hand was also blamed them that they had a minimum cost (starting and prices apply) maximum revenue.

After Van Veen had stopped its racing activities was offered the factory racers for sale. The former factory drivers were machines for 26,000 guilders to buy, others for 35,000 guilders. Ángel Nieto took that opportunity, but wanted to do like a mechanic at. John Smith was not available because he worked at the Van Fen Kreidler dirt bikesand Jaap Voskamp was occupied by his work on the 1000 Van Veen OCR project. Yet de Vries helped Nieto where he could and the machine continued unofficially therefore still "Van Veen-Kreidler" hereafter. Julien Zeebroeck bought a Van Veen-Kreidler with support from the Belgian Kreidler importer.
 * Brands / Teams

Kawasaki was already active in the 750cc class, but also presented for the 1975 season a 250cc racer, a tandem twin . The 500cc- Kawasaki H 1 R got water cooling .

Harley-Davidson came into the 1975 season, also a two-cylinder two-stroke engine in the 500cc class. The factory racer was Walter Villa, but they made ​​replicas for Michel Rougerie and Italian talent Mimmo Cazzaniga . 350cc-Harleys that Villa and Rougerie hatched sizes only 260 cc. They used the 350cc races then only as additional training for the 250cc races.

In Morbidelli had constructor Jorg Moller, who had come in 1974 from Van Veen, finally able to build its own motorcycles. In the 125cc class were those owned by Paolo Pileriand Pier Paolo Bianchi strong enough for the first two places in the world, especially since the reliability was improved. After the first Grand Prix in France early Ángel Nieto also vain to drive a Morbidelli.

BMW finally was trumped in the sidecar class by two-stroke engines . While Klaus Enders in 1974 became world champion, took the fastest BMW in the opening GP in France disagree points: Otto Haller / Erich Haselbeck were with the former Auerbacher -BMW eleventh.

Piovaticci drew Jan Thiel and Martin Mijwaart as constructors to. Their 50cc racer could from the start of the season in the hands of Eugenio Lazzarini well come along, but a 125-copy only came halfway through the season at Assen at the start. The machine was in any case much too heavy.

In November 1975 was Yamaha suddenly announced it will stop all racing activities. That meant that all factory riders were on the streets, but many could continue as a semi-works driver, supported by their importer.

Shortly after the announcement that Yamaha would stop, got the same message from Suzuki . That hit the hope of some drivers on a factory contract with Suzuki in the ground.

After a few races it was clear that the contract with Phil Read by MV Agusta would not be renewed in 1976. Read was very unhappy about their machines and the atmosphere in the team was very poor. In contrast,Giacomo Agostini accurate weather company approached the team. During the GPs he visited regularly, and especially in Austria, where he was in the sixteenth round with his Yamaha had fallen, he made ​​still in the race for some socializing with the team of MV Agusta. In October 1975 drove Lees in the Race of the South on the 750cc- Suzuki of Barry Sheene .

He was not and could still riding the pit reach. During the first part of the season he was replaced by the team of MV Agusta by Armando Toracca .

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Rudi Kurth had used the entire 1974 season for his CAT Crescent create sidecar reliable, but had failed to do so. Also in 1975, he was often the fastest, but he was still out.

In the Grand Prix of Austria he had a "new" machine, now AGV Condor mentioned. Completely new machine in Austria was not yet: Kessel was among the companies working on the AGV Condor and who was not ready yet, but probably he used the name on his Bridgestone to set helmet manufacturer and sponsor AGV satisfied.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The organization Imola definitely did not go as it should. The 500cc class started with an hour and a quarter lag. The audience, which sat all day in the hot sun, fourth below the victory of Agostini through the track to run on, and when this was delayed again they decided to cancel the sidecar race simply.

There were 78 entries for the Lightweight 250cc TT, 85 for the Junior TT and the Senior TT and 85 for both (500 and 1000 cc) Sidecar TT 's.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Assen TT was in 1975 50 years, but after the death of Rolf Thiele in the 250cc race, the festivities were put on the backburner.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After being in 1971 to protest the only toilet had put in the paddock in Finland on fire, the drivers came in 1975, almost in a holiday visit. The paddock was a river, there were enough toilets and showers and moreover they could after the boat trip from Sweden to Finland hold a short holiday with excellent weather. Only when the training started it began to rain heavily.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Masaryk Ring in Czechoslovakia was seriously altered by order of the FIM. The dangerous pieces through villages and the city Brno were out and it was much safer. Strange was that just the new inserted parts asphalt so were full of bumps and potholes that the drivers after the first training checked whether their frames were not broken. Moreover, there were still barriers along the track and banned the organization for no apparent reasons, the use of slicks . The forced use of rain tires in the dry flew two sidecars from the job after had released the tread of the rear tire. How incompetent and stubborn, the organization was evidenced by the fact that Tony Mills of Dunlop Tyres and Claude Cortignie of Michelin drafted a joint letter in which they rejected all responsibility for this decision. Races in Czechoslovakia remained well visited: an estimated 265,000 spectators which 150,000 from the GDR . In this race the world titles in the 350- and 500cc class were decided.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After all the world titles were fixed there was only three factory teams at the GP of Yugoslavia : MZ , Piovaticci and Morbidelli . The latter seemed strange because both factory riders recovering from leg fractures:Paolo Pileri in hospital of Pesaro and Pier Paolo Bianchi home. However, they were replaced by Dieter Braun and Luigi Conforti and who had Kent Andersson hold off the victory to ensure that Bianchi would not lose his second place in the World Championship. ==Deceased <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Scoring  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);"><span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">[Number  (counting) games <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">]  == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The specified number of ten matches per class solo was released back in 1975. In the 125- , 350- and 500cc class were indeed ten games, but the 250cc class was eleven and 50 cc and the sidecar class got only eight games, but by the cancellation of the sidecar race in Italy drove the sidecars only seven games.

When MV Agusta fumbled since Phil Read was not happy about his equipment and Suzuki was plagued by bad luck and falls, especially Teuvo Länsivuori . Giacomo Agostini became world champion, but the championship was decided in the last race.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the opening race in France had Teuvo Länsivuori with his Suzuki RG 500 drove the fastest training time. He also took the lead in the race, but dropped out after a few laps with a broken gearbox . Then came an exciting race between the Yamaha factory rider Giacomo Agostini and Hideo Kanaya, which was won by Agostini with only half a second ahead. Phil Read (MV Agusta) received little respect from his temporary teammate Armando Toracca, who was filling in for the injured Gianfranco Bonera . Read Toracca forced to fight for third place. Therefore this duo was well behind the two Yamahas, but Read was third with 1.4 seconds ahead Toracca.
 * France, Le Castellet

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The start was delayed in Austria since Barry Sheene, who was the tournament doctor had received a start prohibition because his leg after a fall in the Daytona 200 was not healed yet appeared at the start. When Sheene was removed after much discussion turned Agostini on a (forbidden) slick tire stand. A number of drivers being the organization of this, but Agostini could still start. Eventually, the start was pretty messy because the machines become so cold that they were hard slapping. Yamaha's Agostini and Kanaya were in the training been full two seconds faster than the competition and Agostini was sixteen laps in the lead of the race. When his Yamaha ran aground again (that was him in the 350cc race ever happened) and Kanaya won uncontested. Länsivuori was second and Phil Read was third.
 * Austria, Salzburg Ring

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Hockenheim was Teuvo Länsivuori fastest trained, but he had a very bad start. Substitute Armando Toracca was first away, but already in the first round overtaken by his team leader Phil Read. Toracca had no answer to the attacks of Giacomo Agostini and fell in the sixth round even out. Against expectations Read could even stay for Agostini, possibly because it Hockenheim still mainly on the sheer speed of the MV Agusta coming. There was a huge battle for the lead, with both Agostini and Read sometimes to headline reason. Eventually Agostini rode a new fastest lap and won before Read. Länsivuori had his bad start yet made reasonably well and came third.
 * Germany, Hockenheim

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After the exciting race at Hockenheim was somewhat boring again at Imola: Agostini led from start to finish. Phil Read had a chance, but could be second before Agostini's teammate Hideo Kanaya. The Suzuki 's did it again bad: Barry Sheene fell by a broken gearbox fell and Teuvo Länsivuori, where he broke a collarbone.
 * Nations Grand Prix, Imola

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Senior TT was won by Mick Grant with the now water-cooled Kawasaki H 1 R . This had everything to do with the boycott of the races on Man by the main drivers. John Williams (Yamaha) was second and Chas Mortimer (Yamaha) was third. During the Senior TT crashed Phil Gurner at Milntown .
 * Isle of Man Senior TT Mountain Course

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Phil Read had at Assen already in training his day. He qualified fifth behind Barry Sheene, Giacomo Agostini, Teuvo Länsivuori and even Gianfranco Bonera, who first was fit enough after his broken leg in Modena in the spring. As in the 350cc class there was a lightning start for Wil Hartog, who was from the third row first road while Länsivuori his Suzuki almost last got to talking. Phil Read took despite the handling problems he with the MV Agusta 500 4C quickly found the lead, followed by Sheene and Agostini. After four rounds passed Agostini and Phil Read Sheene and began immediately to run away from him. Sheene Agostini seemed easy to follow: he rode always sitting upright behind him, but if Sheene Ago passed which again could easily stay in the slipstream. They exchanged so do a number of times of position, but neither of them could really make a difference. The race was decided not only on the line: Barry Sheene won the first victory for his Suzuki RG 500, Agostini, Phil Read was second and third.
 * Netherlands, Assen

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In Belgium, the less on the handling of the machines and more on pure speed. Phil Read and Gianfranco Bonera knew within four laps to build already a lead of eight seconds Barry Sheene. But that began to give more gas, while Agostini at the pit tripped Sheene came to the two leaders. In the last lap Read only; Sheene well as Bonera fell out. Thereby shoved John Newbold (Suzuki) unexpectedly into second place and Jack Findlay (Yamaha), who had made ​​a refueling stop, was third.
 * Belgium, Spa-Francorchamps

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Phil Read could only improve his point total by Sweden in first or second <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1] to be, but Agostini helped with him by falling in second place lying by a blowout. Barry Sheene was then already in the lead and won the race also. In the opening phase had Teuvo Länsivuori drove in the lead, but he fell quite often and that happened now. When Sheene had meanwhile climbed to the leadership, because the two Suzukis had been in training the fastest. John Williams knew his two-cylinder Yamaha (a drilled Yamaha TZ 350 ) for Bonera third to bring over.
 * Sweden, Anderstorp

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Agostini won the Finnish Grand Prix actually droped because everyone around him. Both MV Agusta's Bonera and Read were training the fastest, before Agostini, while the time of Barry Sheene quite disappointing.At the start, Phil Read was the first road. When the hole was closed Agostini was ridden Read covered by Bonera in the back. Sheene had a backlog, but fell early in the race, which causes Teuvo Länsivuori took fourth place, well behind the leaders. Agostini followed Bonera in mind quiet, it also took a few times to return then again fall to third place. At the beginning of the tenth round was Phil Read suddenly disappeared, failed because of engine problems. When the fighting between Bonera and Agostini for the lead was also became fiercer. They even broke records around until Bonera braked himself and against his former deputy Armando Toracca (now on a Suzuki road) collided. Agostini could complete the rest of the race at ease to win. Länsivuori was second and Jack Findlay was third.
 * Finland, Imatra

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">When it appeared that the race in Czechoslovakia on 17 laps would go broke at the team Agostini some panic when it was discovered that they had not taken the refueling. A refueling stop would be required. Jack Findlay presented his installation and his mechanic Derek boat available to the factory team. Here were the Suzuki's Länsivuori and Sheene the fastest, Read was third and fourth Agostini. Read went in the first round in the lead, but Sheene took him to his then immediately Suzuki park.
