The Isle of Man TT Races - Curated by Murray Walker

This new exhibition from Getty Images tells the story of the greatest motor sport event in the world.

This fantastic exhibition is launching in the prestigious Getty Images Gallery this month and features iconic images from the TT races over the past 100 years.

The exhibition includes some previously unseen shots from the Hulton Archive.  Curated by Murray Walker OBE, the selection includes legendary TT heroes such as Stanley Woods, Geoff Duke, Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood as well as modern riders including David Jefferies, Steve Hislop and Joey Dunlop.  

Notable moments in TT history including Bob McIntyre's first 100mph lap are represented in the exhibition as well as the days when the TT included motorcar racing as part of the fledgling European motor racing circuit.  The first motorcycle TT in 1907 and the record breaking feats of John McGuinness and Dave Molyneux from the Centenary in 2007 are also included.  Race fans will also be able to see the original Keppel Gate and the old TT Grandstand which, despite their age, are still instantly recognisable landmarks.

Murray Walker MBE commented:  "In my view, the TT races are the greatest motor sport event in the world.  The races have been an enormous part of my life from when my father raced in the 1930's through to the period when I commentated for the BBC. This exhibition brings back many incredible memories."

The exhibition runs from Wednesday April 9th to Saturday May 3rd. The gallery is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 6.30pm ad Saturdays from 12pm to 6pm.
