The fifteenth anniversary of Joey Dunlop’s death went by a few days ago. He’s been remembered in an article on the BBC website. The Dunlop family is an institution in Ireland. They’re known for TT racing.
Two brothers, Joey and Robert, started the dynasty which is now carried on by Robert’s sons, Michael and William.
The lives of the Dunlops have been told in a compelling 2014 documentary called Road. It’s incredibly well made and takes you on the emotional highs and lows of what is perhaps motorsport’s most unforgiving category.
There’s a trailer for Road after the break. Find the movie and watch it.
