Lightweight TT

Lightweight TT

The Lightweight TT was a motorcycle road race that was part of the Isle of Man TT festival; an annual motor-cycle event at the end of May and beginning of June. Between 1949 and 1976 the Lightweight TT Race was part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. The event was dropped from the 2005 Isle of Man TT Race calendar due to lack of entries.
