EDITORS COMMENTS
This electrifying photograph captures the thrilling start of the 21st Ulster Tourist Trophy (TT) Race, held in August 1929. Widely regarded as one of the greatest road races in motoring history, the Ulster TT was a must-see event for motor racing enthusiasts across the globe. The image showcases the lighter cars, poised and ready for the decimation of the 24.25-mile circuit at Dundrod, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The date, the 7th of August, is etched in the annals of motorsport history as the day when the roar of powerful engines and the scent of burning rubber filled the crisp Irish air. The Ulster TT was a unique race, attracting both local and international talent. The lighter cars, with their sleek designs and powerful engines, were favored for their agility and speed on the winding, undulating roads. As the countdown began, the tension in the air was palpable. The drivers, focused and determined, revved their engines, the crowd roared, and the race was on. The frenzied start was a sight to behold, with cars jostling for position and the roar of their engines echoing through the valley. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Ulster TT Race and the thrill of motorsport in the late 1920s. It is a reminder of the passion, skill, and determination that has fueled the sport for over a century. The Ulster TT may no longer be held, but its legacy lives on, inspiring a new generation of racing enthusiasts and drivers.
