EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured during the 1949 TT races at Creg ny Baa, spectators are seen huddled together, well protected against a cool wind as they eagerly take in the thrilling racing action. The atmosphere is electric, with anticipation and excitement palpable in the air. What makes this image even more special is the presence of Manx tartan blankets draped over some of the onlookers. These iconic blankets were once available for hire from Laxey Woollen Mills specifically for race days at Creg ny Baa. They not only provided warmth and comfort but also added a touch of traditional charm to the scene. As motorcycles zoom by on the challenging circuit, their engines roaring like thunder, it's evident that these dedicated fans are fully immersed in every twist and turn of this exhilarating event. Their faces reflect a mix of awe, admiration, and perhaps even a hint of envy towards those brave riders who fearlessly navigate through dangerous corners at breakneck speeds. This photograph encapsulates both the timeless allure of motorcycle racing and the enduring traditions associated with it. It serves as a reminder that while technology may have evolved since 1949, certain elements such as camaraderie among fans and appreciation for heritage remain unchanged. BikeSport TT Race Pics has expertly preserved this moment frozen in time—a testament to an era when spectators braved chilly winds wrapped snugly in Manx tartan blankets while witnessing history unfold before their eyes at Creg ny Baa.
