By the time of its pull out from Grand Prix racing, Moto Guzzi had won 3,329 official races, 8 World Championships, 6 Constructor's Championships and 11 Isle of Man TT victories.  We know they dominated with their singles but did they ever seriously ever campaign their twins.

They rolled out their V8  500cc in 56/57 but seemed to have a hard time keeping it running to the finish.  Although all the big names had a shot at it Bill Lomas had the best luck.   The bike is carrying a number 1 but I can't see it ever winning a GP championship.
