Iconic racing cars visit for Patriotic TT

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Dozens of iconic racing cars will be on the Island this week to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1914 'Patriotic TT'.

Some of Britain's oldest and most valuable veteran cars are taking part in the celebration - starting at the TT Grandstand today.

The cars, which competed on roads which were then little more than rough farm tracks, will be on the Island until June 26th.

The theme for this year's event is based on the last Tourist Trophy Car Race which saw vehicles complete 16 laps of the Mountain Course - a total of 600 miles - split over two days.
