GRAND PRIX 1989 Soshuhen [New Price Edition]

[Machine Translation] While the field was packed with strong riders such as Gardner, Lawson who moved to Honda, and Spencer who made a comeback, the two young Americans, Schwantz and Rainey, put up a good fight. They were able to make it hard for the champion riders. Schwantz was surprisingly fast with 9 pole wins and 6 wins, but he had many DNFs and finished 4th in the ranking. Rainey, while defending his ranking lead, was under pressure from Lawson in the final laps and crashed out of the race. The champion Lawson showed his consistency by finishing on the podium in all 13 rounds except for Australia and the boycotted Nation GP to win his fourth title in two consecutive years with different manufacturers' machines.

ガードナー、ホンダに移籍のローソン、復帰を遂げたスペンサーら強豪達がひしめく中、シュワンツ、レイニーのヤングアメリカン2人が善戦。チャンピオンライダー達を苦しめる。 15戦中ローソン4勝、レイニー3勝、ガードナー1勝、キリ1勝に対しシュワンツはポール獲得9回・6勝と驚速ぶりを発揮するも、DNFも多くランキングは4位に止まる。レイニーはランキングトップを守りつつも、終盤にローソンからのプレッシャーに屈し転倒。 王者ローソンはオーストラリアとボイコットしたネイションGP以外の13戦で表彰台登壇という安定感を発揮し、異なるメーカーのマシンを乗り継ぎ2年連続自身4度目となるタイトルを獲得した。
