Isle of Man TT
The Isle of Man TT or Tourist Trophy races are an annual motorcycle racing event run on the Isle of
Man in May and June of most years since its inaugural race in 1907. The event begins on the UK
Spring Bank Holiday at the end of May and runs for thirteen days. It is often called one of the
most dangerous racing events in the world as many competitors have died.

1967 Isle of Man TT
The 1967 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was a motorcycle road racing event held on
the 37-mile Snaefell Mountain course on the Isle of Man. Five races, in different
engine capacity classes of 50, 125, 250, 350 and the 500 cc Senior TT, made up the
second round of the FIM World Grand Prix motorcycling championship season
(now known as MotoGP). Mike Hailwood, on the four-cylinder Honda RC181,
duelled with Giacomo Agostini's MV Agusta 500 Three. The Italian broke
Hailwood's lap record on the first lap at a speed of 108.38 mph (174.42 km/h).
Hailwood responded with a second lap at 108.77 mph (175.05 km/h) but Agostini
still led by 8.6 seconds. At the halfway pit stop of the six-lap race, Hailwood had
cut Agostini's lead to a couple of seconds, but he then lost time adjusting his twist
grip back into place. Agostini's lead was back up to 11.6 seconds. It was a battle as
Hailwood, riding near to his limit, pursued the Italian rider. By the fifth lap,
Hailwood had made up the difference and the riders appeared close to a dead
heat, with the closest of finishes appearing likely. Then disaster struck Agostini on
the mountain section when his chain broke at the Windy Corner. He was able to
coast back to the pits, but he was disqualified for missing Governor's Dip before
coasting down to the pits. In the heat of the moment Agostini threw his helmet to
the ground. Hailwood went on to win at a record 105.62 mph (169.98 km/h). His
lap record stood for eight years, and was only beaten in 1975 by Mick Grant on an
improved circuit riding a larger-engined Kawasaki KR750 cc. Hailwood's original
Honda RC181 500 cc four-cylinder bike is owned by the Hailwood Trust and
occasionally demonstrated at public events by his son David.

Isle of Man TT Mountain Course
The Isle of Man TT Mountain Course or TT Course or Snaefell Mountain Course or
Elmo’s Mountain Course is a street and public rural road circuit located in the Isle
of Man, used for motorcycle racing. The motorcycle TT Course is used principally
for the Isle of Man TT Races and also the separate event of the Isle of Man Festival
of Motorcycling for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT Races held in September
of each year. The start-line for the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course is located on
Glencrutchery Road in the City of Douglas, Isle of Man. The clockwise course has a
lap of 37.730 mi (60.721 km), from the start line at the TT Grandstand on
Glencrutchery Road (A2 Ramsey to Douglas) in the island's main town of Douglas.
After negotiating urban streets, the racing circuit turns right to leave Douglas at
Quarter Bridge, then proceeds along the A1 Douglas to Peel Road from Braddan
Bridge, through the villages of Union Mills, Glen Vine, Crosby, and Greeba. The
course then turns right at Ballacraine on to the A3 Castletown to Ramsey road,
firstly through countryside glens followed by agricultural land interspersed by the
villages of Kirk Michael, Ballaugh and Sulby, finally intersecting with the A18
Snaefell mountain road after negotiating urban streets in the town of Ramsey. The
A18 then takes the course back to Douglas through the highest point, situated
after the Bungalow at Hailwood's Height near the 31st Milestone and the UK
Ordnance Survey spot height of 1,385 ft (422 m) above sea level. The descent
starts through countryside before entering the residential outskirts of Douglas
back to the finish line.

Senior TT
The Senior Tourist Trophy is a motorcycle road race that takes place during the Isle
of Man TT festival, an annual event traditionally held over the last week in May and
the first week in June. The Senior TT is the blue ribbon event of the festival that
takes place on the Saturday of race week, with "The Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars
trophy" awarded to the winner. The event was part of the FIM Motorcycle Grand
Prix World Championship from 1949 to 1976, before being transferred to the
United Kingdom after safety concerns, becoming the British Grand Prix under the
FIM from the 1977 GP season. Until 2012, the Senior TT had never been cancelled
except during the two World Wars and during travel restrictions associated with
the animal foot and mouth outbreak in 2001. However, during the 2012 TT Races,
with inclement weather on the day prior to its traditional Friday race day (8 June),
the decision was taken to postpone racing until the following day, Saturday, 9
June. Consequently, a course inspection was made, and following a meeting
between riders and officials, the decision was made to cancel the running of the
Senior race for safety reasons. The races were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.

1954 Isle of Man TT
The 1954 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was the second race in the 1954 Grand Prix
motorcycle racing season and proved highly controversial for TT Course and race
changes. The 1954 Junior TT was the first race where the official race distance was

reduced from 7 laps to 5 laps. The 1954 Senior TT Race was stopped at half
distance due to the weather conditions on the Mountain Section of the course.
The first world championship event for the 1954 Isle of Man TT Races was the
350cc Junior TT Race. The race was led on lap 1 by Fergus Anderson from Gilera
team-mate Ken Kavanagh by 10 seconds and Ray Amm riding for Norton a further
6 seconds adrift in 3rd place. On lap 2, Fergus Anderson retired at Kirk Michael
with an engine problem and Ken Kavanagh retired at the pits with an engine mis-
fire on lap 3. The race was then led by Ray Amm by 24 seconds from Rod Coleman
riding for AJS motor-cycles. However, Ray Amm retired at Barregarrow on lap 5
allowing Rod Coleman to become the first New Zealander to win an Isle of Man TT
Race at an average race speed of 91.54 mph. The new 10 lap (107.90 miles) Sidecar
TT held on the Clypse Course was led from start to finish by Eric Oliver and
passenger Les Nutt riding a Norton outfit with a "dust-bin" fairing at an average
speed of 68.87 mph. The Norton outfit of Bill Boddice/J.Pirie hit a bank at Creg-ny-
Baa and flipped over on lap 7, but continued on to finish the race in 6th place. The
winner of the 1954 Lightweight TT race, Werner Haas crashed at Governor's Bridge
on lap 1 of the 1954 Ultra-Lightweight TT Race, also held on the Clypse Course.
This allowed Rupert Hollaus to win the race in 1 hour, 33 minutes and 3.4 seconds
at an average race speed of 69.57 mph. His victory was notable because he was
one of only seven riders to have won an Isle of Man TT race in their first attempt.
In deteriorating weather conditions and with reduced visibility on the Mountain
Section of the course the 1954 Senior TT Race was held after a short delay and
started at midday. Despite the conditions, Geoff Duke riding the works Gilera set a
time of 25 minutes and 41.0 seconds an average speed of 88.18 mph and led Ray
Amm riding for Norton by 14 seconds on lap 1. On the second lap, Geoff Duke
lapped in 26 minutes and 23 seconds at an average speed of 85.84 mph and Ray
Amm lapped at an average speed of 86.49 to reduce the lead to just 2 seconds.
Further heavy rain and low cloud on the Mountain Section reduced speed further
and the conditions caused John Grace and Ted Frend to retire at the TT
Grandstand on lap 2 and Ray Amm used "feet-down" tactics on the slower corners.
The leader, Geoff Duke, decided to refuel on lap 3. Ray Amm in second place went
straight through without stopping and lapped in 25 minutes and 28 seconds at an
average speed of 88.93 mph and now led Geoff Duke by 32 seconds. At the Windy
Corner on lap 4, the visibility was down to 20 yards and a decision was made to
stop the race because of the conditions. This allowed Ray Amm, due to refueling at
the TT Grandstand on lap 4, to win the 1954 Senior TT Race in 1 hour, 42 minutes
and 46.8 seconds at an average race speed of 88.12 mph. The controversial
decision by race organisers to stop the 1954 Senior TT Race on lap 4, just as the
weather started to improve, was protested by the Gilera management. This was on
the grounds that the works Norton team were told of the decision allowing Ray
Amm to lead the race on lap 3, but the official protest was rejected by the race
organisers. During lap 1 of the 1954 Senior TT Race, Simon Sandys-Winsch riding a
Junior Velocette crashed at the Highlander and died in hospital a few days later.

List of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course fatalities
This list is of fatal crashes on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course used for the Isle
of Man TT races, Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT races. The TT Course was first
used as an automobile road-racing circuit for the 1908 Tourist Trophy event for
racing automobiles, then known as the Four Inch Course. For the 1911 Isle of Man
TT race motor-cycle races, the event was moved from the St John's Short Course to
the Four Inch Course by the UK Auto-Cycle Club, and became known as the Isle of
Man TT Mountain Course, or TT Course, when used for motorcycle racing. Victor

Surridge was the first fatality on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, after a crash
at Glen Helen during practice for the 1911 Isle of Man TT races. This was possibly
the first death in the Isle of Man in a motorcycle or road vehicle crash. The
deadliest year was 2005, when 10 people died: three riders and one marshal died
during the June race, and six riders and one course bystander died during the
Manx Grand Prix in August/September 2005. Since 1937, the only season without a
fatality in either the TT or the Manx Grand Prix was in 1982. The 2012 and 2024
TTs, which are raced by more experienced professional riders, ended without
fatalities, but there were fatalities in the Manx Grand Prix, which is raced with
amateur riders except for the vintage motorcycle classes that experienced
professionals may participate.
