The Motor Car Act of 1903 meant that the speed limit in the UK at that time was 20mph. Racing came about on the Island because the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland (forerunner to the R.A.C.) needed somewhere to test and trial prospective British entrants for the 1904 Gordon Bennett Cup car race. The majority of the Public in the UK was hostile to speeding on open roads and the inconvenience and opposition that temporary road closures would cause was deemed too great. This is why the 1903 races had been held in the more rural Ireland. Founding member and organising secretary of the Automobile Club, Julian Orde, thought that the Isle of Man would be a suitable place to hold the 1904 trials. He, along with the help of his cousin Lord Raglan who was the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man, started the process that led to the first ever motorsport event on the Isle of Man, the 1904 Gordon Bennett eliminating trials. The R.A.C. held its first event for touring cars (hence the name Tourist Trophy) on the Island in 1905. The Auto Cycle Union followed suit in 1907 with their own event for motorcycles, even going as far as to use the same Tourist Trophy/TT name. It's also worth noting that the car events were held on what were essentially variations of the Mountain Course right from the start in 1904, whereas the bikes first use of the Mountain Course was in 1911.
Far too short, but great content.
No the Isle Man TT came about because the British Government BANNED racing on public roads in the England ,Scotland and Wales and Ireland in 1905 because too many people were getting killed - riders and bystanders!!! The passed law didn't apply in the Isle of Man !!
Thank you nice to learn something .Great comment
Shut up
That's not quite right either.

Garbage! it's a s l said it my comment . There were too many people getting killed on British roads because of racing so it was banned !! @@hakkalocken
As a MANXMAN U R SPOT ON STAY SAFE ❤🎉😂😮😮😮
Google F1 race at Thruxton ? and you’ll see what Stavros was talking about passing his loctite Yamahas 😁👌🏻😎
Surprised you went for Norton, After the Stuart Garner embarrassment.
This is quite an old recording made some years before the Garner debacle.
