The Pre-TT Classic Races came into being in 1988, after the TT organisers realised that the machines of yesteryear still had a place in the TT Festival.
The Blackford Pre-TT Classic Road Races, held on the 4.25-mile Billown Course, is the ideal pure road race course to watch, hear and smell the machines of past decades.
The enthusiasm and atmosphere is also special around the Billown circuit during the Blackford Pre TT Classic Meeting as spectators and enthusiasts mingle with the ever-growing number of competitors.
The event is capped on the Tuesday after the races by a unique Open Air Concours d'Elegance of Racing Machines in Castletown Square where many of the machines are 'fired-up' for everyone's enjoyment and is followed by the Prize Presentation.
