Description

The Manx Grand Prix: A Pioneering Era in Motor Sports In 1923, the Isle of Man hosted its first amateur motor cycle races, with the aim of providing an opportunity for riders to compete at this iconic location. The event was initially open to amateur riders only, excluding professional competitors. Over the years, the series faced various challenges, but by 1930 it had evolved into the prestigious Manx Grand Prix. Murray McLeod's book takes a fascinating look back at the early years of the event, from its humble beginnings in 1923 to 1953. The author has included biographical sketches and beautiful pencil portraits of some of the pioneering riders who played a significant role in shaping the history of the Manx Grand Prix. This book offers a unique insight into the formative years of this world-class motor sports event, which continues to thrive today.
