  • What is the IOM TT?

  • The first TT race was held in 1907 in St John's, called the 'International Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy'.

  • From 1911 the TT transferred to the much longer Snaefell Mountain Course of 37.40 miles (currently 37.73 miles). The race programme developed from a single race to two classes.

  • The race did not take place from 1915 to 1919 due to the First World War. It resumed in 1920.

  • Likewise between 1940-45 the races did not take place until 1947.

  • Joey Dunlop has won the most TTs, with 26 wins, followed by John McGuinness (23) and Dave Molyneux (17)
