The Tourist Trophy
The Club’s specially commissioned trophy itself pays tribute to Giambologna’s sculpture of the Greek god Hermes, embellished in 18-carat gold.
The first event took place on the Isle of Man in 1905 and was won by John Napier driving an 18 hp Arrol-Johnston in a race covering four laps of a fearsome 52-mile open road loop around the Isle of Man. His average speed was 34 mph. It later moved to Ards and the Dundrod in Northern Ireland. By the early 1960s, the sports cars taking part had become too fast for public roads, so the Tourist Trophy shifted to circuits. At first this was Goodwood, but then the ‘TT’ moved to Aintree and Brands Hatch, before finding a home at Silverstone.
Over its chequered history, the Tourist Trophy has been contested by sports cars, touring cars, saloons and latterly endurance cars. It has been dormant since 2019, but a new purpose for this venerable golden beauty is being actively sought.
