The Amateur Road Race Championship has so grown in popularity since its inauguration in 1923 that it became necessary last year to divide it into a Senior and a Junior Class. The race is organized by the Manx Motor Cycling Club, and is run over the same course as the professional races for the Tourist Trophy, providing the spectator with an equal gamut of thrills.
This broadcast is of particular interest as it is the first broadcast actually from the Isle of Man. those giving eye-witness accounts having previously had to cross to Liverpool in order to do so.
