The 1996 Isle of Man TT was the year where Phillip McCallen of Honda achieved 4 wins in a week – a record not beaten until 2010. He won all of the main races with Jim Moodie and Joey Dunlop picking up the smaller bike wins.
Dave Molyneux managed to hold off Rob Fisher to win both sidecar races.
John McGuinness and David Jefferies, two of the most successful competitors in the event's history, made their debut that year. Jefferies scored a best of tenth place at the Production TT, while McGuinness finished in fifteenth place in the Lightweight TT, his only start of the week.[1][2]
The event was marred by the death of four competitors: Aaron Kennedy, Rob Holden and Mick Lofthouse during practice, and Steve Tannock during the Formula One TT. Holden and Lofthouse were both former TT podium finishers.
