"The TT is the manifestation of every human emotion..of victory, of triumph, but sometimes of tragedy and pathos.

Here one learns some of the basic truths of human experience, of human struggle and rivalry, of exultancy and despondency.

Here one learns the incredible facts of human nature, of grit and ambition, of subtlety and cunning, of wisdom and folly, jealously, duplicity and all the flames of human passion.

It is here that one discovers men whose word is their bond, where character shines under disappointment and disillusionment.

Here one sees the lone hand earnestly pursuing the road to fame - the diehards too, seeking for honours still.

Here one sees the big business at work with all its might."

Gilbert Smith, MD of Norton circa 1935

Mortons Media Group, publishers of Classic Racer, handed over £750, half of the money raised from the Press Trial, with the other half going to the Lincolnshire Air Ambulance.
