The Gordon Bennett Trophy
100 years ago to the day, the first ever motor race was held on the Isle of Man - the Gordon Bennett Trial, 10th May 1904
That is a pretty historic event, and there were some stunning cars out today, to commemorate the event, on a fortunately lovely sunny day, driving the original circuit around the Island, the oldest being a 1906, and including a C-type Jaguar (driven very sportingly by the Lieutenant Governor Air Marshall Ian McFaddyen) right up to the more modern TVR Griffith and Aston Martin DB7 (both driven equally sportingly by Alex Lloyd!) I know I'm biased, living on the Island, but where else do you get the roads closed for these motorsport events?! It's a paradise I tell you! |
