Known formerly, a bit more formally, as The Grand Prix des 'Gentlemen' or, simply The 'Gents', the event is a significant part of TT heritage. Anyway, it's a 2-UP contest for a couple of trophies; bragging rights for most; and all-inclusive—never, with ATTA, exclusively for blokes. From the Race Rules: The trophies both of which have been rebuilt, were inherited from the WA Vets when they merged with ATTA. The Standards, or Gents, trophy was originally the Bill Smith Memorial and the Fastest Times, the Joy Smith Trophy. |
