It is 23rd of August 1930 and the crowds gather to watch one of the most exciting events in the area - the RAC Tourist Trophy race. The TT race is held over the famous Newtownards circuit which was abandoned in 1936 after a tragic motor racing accident. Two men in slightly grubby white overalls possibly a driver and navigator/mechanic team, walk past crowds of spectators. Sponsors and signage are prominent around the course and primitive grandstands have been put up for the event. In the background, a field full of cars and crowds lining the course are testimony to the popularity of the event, part of which runs along public roads. A crashed car can be seen near the end of the clip.
The film was probably shot by John Dermot Campbell and it is part of the Campbell Family Collection.
