The '''Ultra-Lightweight TT''' is a motorcycle road race that takes place during the [[Isle of Man TT]] festival; an annual event at the end of May and beginning of June. Between 1951 and 1974 this race was part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. The Ultra-Lightweight TT and the [[Lightweight TT]] Races were both dropped from the 2005 Isle of Man TT Race calendar due to lack of entries. The Ultra-Lightweight TT and the [[Lightweight TT]] were later reinstated to the [[2008 Isle of Man TT|2008]] [[Isle of Man TT]] race schedule and held on the 4.25 mile [[Billown Circuit]] in the [[Isle of Man]].<ref>''Manx Independent'' pp44 dated 22 November 2007</ref> |

The [[1924 Isle of Man TT]] was the first time the Ultra-Lighweight TT race took place for motor-cycles not exceeding 175 cc engine capacity. It was won by Jack Porter, riding a [[New Imperial]] motor-cycle at an average speed of {{convert|51.21|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} for 3 laps of the [[Snaefell mountain course]]. The Ultra-Lightweight TT Race was re-introduced for the [[1951 Isle of Man TT]] Race for motor-cycles not exceeding 125 cc engine capacity. The Ultra-Lighweight class was part of the Isle of Man TT Races until 1974 races and then dropped from the TT Race meeting. The Ultra-Lightweight TT Race was re-introduced for the [[1989 Isle of Man TT]] Races again for motor-cycles not exceeding 125 cc engine capacity and was part of the TT Festival until the [[2004 Isle of Man TT]] Races. |
