It recommenced with the Manx Grand Prix in 1946 and the Isle of Man TT in 1947, with a greatly expanded format that included the new Clubman's TT races. There was no racing on the Isle of Man between 19 due to the Second World War. A 250cc Lightweight TT race was added to the Isle of Man TT programme in 1922, followed by a Sidecar TT race in 1923. The race did not take place from 1915 to 1919 due to the First World War. The race programme developed from a single race with two classes for the 1907 Isle of Man TT, expanding in 1911 to two individual races for the 350cc Junior TT motor-cycles and the Blue Riband event the 500cc Senior TT race. Its elevation goes from sea-level to 1,300 feet. The event was organised by the Auto-Cycle Club over 10 laps of the Isle of Man St John's Short Course of 15 miles 1,470 yards for road-legal 'touring' motorcycles with exhaust silencers, saddles, pedals and mudguards.įrom 1911, the Isle of Man TT transferred to the much longer Snaefell Mountain Course of 37.40 miles (60.19 km) (current length 37.73 miles (60.72 km)). The first Isle of Man TT race was held on Tuesday and was called the International Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy.
It has been a tradition, perhaps started by racing competitors in the early 1920s, for spectators to tour the Snaefell Mountain Course on motorcycles during the Isle of Man TT on Mad Sunday, an informal and unofficial sanctioned event held on the Sunday between Practice Week and Race Week. The event consists of one week of practice sessions followed by one week of racing. The Isle of Man TT is run in a time-trial format on public roads closed to the public by an Act of Tynwald (the parliament of the Isle of Man). 10 FIM Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship Rounds (1949–1976).5 Crossing places during practice and races.2.2 International Motor-Cycle Cup Race (1905).2.1 Gordon Bennett and Tourist Trophy car races.2 Early Isle of Man TT race history (1904–1910).
