I am currently having a friendly but heated discussion in my local regarding Jim Redman,I say he is the only man to have won 3 GP races in one day in 3 different classes,my opponent says someone else also acheived this record but can't remember who.
Can anyone of you more intelligent readers correct us ? Thanks.

Mike Hailwood won 3 in one meeting at the TT in 1963 ??
Does that count ?

I think you will find that Mike Hailwood won the 250, 350 and 500 cc classes for Honda at the Czech GP in 1966 in one day. In 1967 Mike won the same three classes for Honda at the Dutch TT at Assen in one day. What amazing accomplishments by both Jim and Mike.

I thought it was Mike at Assen.
Why don't you ask them who was the only other rider than Rossi to win world championships on 125,250 and 500? It wasn't Jim.
Sorry I cannot mention his name on any IOM site.

Don - would the initials by any chance be PR? I believe he won the 125, 250 and 500 championships and Mike won the 250, 350 and 500.

After reading Cargo's posting I was inspired to look up some race results in Mick Woollett's excellent book, Mike Hailwood, A Motorcycle Racing Legend. He lists these results for multiple race wins ( over 2) in one day:

Oh, Elizabeth my lips are sealed as I wish to return to the Isle of Man one day.

But as Charles M. Schulz said:
