The TT will be recognised at the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show with an entire day dedicated to marking the Centenary.
The show, at Birmingham’s NEC, runs from November 23 to December 2, and organisers have announced tribute will be paid to the Isle of Man TT on December 1.
An all-star line-up of special guests has been revealed, plus a series of events featuring the TT.
Legendary motorsport commentator Murray Walker, a lifelong TT fan, will be among the special guests. He will be signing copies of TT: Centenary Celebration, a special film about the 100th anniversary in which he features.
The special day will also feature 13-times TT winner John McGuinness, who holds the outright TT course lap record, and three stars of the new “Young Guns” campaign; Guy Martin, Ian Hutchinson and Conor Cummins.
Hutchinson scored his first TT victory in 2007, Martin took three podium finishes from four starts and Manxman Cummins, winner of the ‘07 Duke Road Race Rankings, also had a fantastic TT.
They will be at various manufacturers’ stands throughout the day, meeting fans and signing memorabilia.
There will also be a TT Chat Show, featuring star riders of the past and present. The chat show will see some secrets from behind the scenes of the festival revealed, and offer incredible insights into lapping the world-famous Mountain circuit.
The day will also feature "They Think It’s a Question of TT Races”, with BBC motorcycle correspondent Steve Parrish posing the questions.
The Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure will be represented on the Duke stand (2H50) throughout the show, answering questions about travelling to the Island to watch the races.
The Duke stand will also be the venue for the launch of TT: Centenary Celebration, with “Voice of Motorsport” on hand to meet fans and sign copies of the film.
Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure TT and Motorsport Development Manager Paul Phillips said:
‘It’s going to be a great day out for the fans, and is another opportunity to get to meet their TT heroes.’
‘We are delighted that the NEC Bike Show will be part of our Centenary celebrations.’
Finlay McAllan, Managing Director of MCIE, organisers of the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show added:
‘The Isle of Man TT is one of the greatest motorsport events in the world and the celebration of its Centenary at this year’s show is a fantastic addition to the entertainment line-up.’
‘To have so many legends of the TT appearing all on one day provides yet another great reason for bike fans to flock to the NEC, and with so much to see and do the 2007 Show is shaping up to be the most exciting yet.’
Among the other attractions at the show will be the UK launches of some amazing machines, including the much-vaunted return of Ducati and the first UK showing by Benelli. There will also be numerous interactive features, including the Off Road Zone, Mini-Motos and Go-Karting.
The DTL will also announce the race schedule for the 2008 TT at the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, on the press day (November 22), and fans can expect changes to the 2007 schedule designed to make the racing even more exciting!
