With a white-knuckle grip on his throttle, Great Britain's Tommy Wood wins the 1951 Spanish Grand Prix 350cc class for the second year in a row. He earned both of those checkered flags while riding the 'Birmingham Beauty', a 1949 Velocette KTT MK8.
The Spanish GP was the first round of the 1951 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place at the Montjuïc circuit located on the Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Tommy Wood would shift over to Moto Guzzi to win the 1951 Isle of Man Lightweight TT. The Isle of Man would be the last race he would ever win.
