2013 saw the inauguration of the Classic TT as part of the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling alongside the famous Manx Grand Prix. As its name suggests the event sees race bikes from the `50s and `60s up to the early 1990s competing on the incredible 37.73 mile mountain course. Big names from the TT such as John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop were attracted to the meeting to race older bikes against classic specialists such as Chris Swallow, Jamie Coward and Chris Palmer. Away from the racing stars of motorcycle racing such as Freddie Spencer, Giacomo Agostini and Steve Baker rubbed shoulders with the huge crowds at the Festival of Jurby; a huge riot of classic racing and road bikes of every description. This two-hour programme captures the atmosphere of this pioneering event and really brings it to life.
