Charlie Williams (born in Kelsall, Cheshire) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. His best season was in 1974 when he finished in tenth place in the 500cc world championship on a Yamaha motorcycle.[1] Williams was a nine-time winner at the Isle of Man TT races, although only three of those victories counted towards the world championship.[2] In 1980, he won the Formula II Class of the Formula TT world championship.
