		The Tourist Trophy remained on the Isle of Man until 1922, after which events were held in Ards, Donington, Dundrod, Silverstone and on other circuits.

		For the 1911 TT, a number of changes would take place which included, the handing over of the organisation of the race to the ACU (Auto-Cycle Union), the first signs of commercialism, the building of grandstands and the introduction of the Mountain Course, which is approximately 60.71km (37.73 mi) long.
		The Senior TT was held on Thursday 21 May. After the tragedy of two days before and the incredible sadness felt by all, there was a release of tension from the angst that had been building.

		This meant a useful weight-saving – particularly effective on the 1000 feet climb from sea-level to the highest point on the circuit – but would require Tony to have perfect memory and knowledge of the TT course's 100+ bends in order to break the record.
