There’s one motorcycle racing event that is very popular among the motorcycling community. It’s called the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Race. It is more popular as the Isle of Man TT. This event is held on the Isle of Man. For many years, this was the most prestigious motorcycle racing even in the whole world.
The first Isle of Man race was called the International Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy. That race was held on May 28, 1907. The winner of the single-cylinder class that year was Charlie Collier. He was a British motorcycle racer. He won the Isle of Man TT two times in his career. For the twin cylinder class, the winner was Rem Fowler. Rem, also a British motorcycle racer, was driving a Peugeot that year when he won the race.
Today, the people who are in the hall of fame for the Isle of Man TT are the ones who have won the most number of races for the event. Topping the list is Joey Dunlop, a racer from Northern Ireland, with 26 wins for the Isle of Man TT.
