The 1935 Junior TT Race provided a Junior TT double win for Jimmie Guthrie at an average race speed of 79.14 mph (127.36 km/h) and Norton with a 1-2-3 race win with Walter Rusk and "Crasher" White filling 2nd and 3rd places.
The 1935 Lightweight TT Race was a debut event for the Italian Omobono Tenni. It was team-mate Stanley Woods that led the 1935 Lightweight TT Race from start-to-finish at an average race speed of 71.56 mph (115.16 km/h) followed by Tyrell Smith and Ernie Nott, both riding for Rudge motorcycles.
The 1935 Senior TT Race was postponed to the next day due to poor weather. Despite the delay, the race produced one of the most dramatic TT races. The race was led away by Jimmie Guthrie at number 1 while Stanley Woods starting at number 30 had a 15-minute wait. By the last lap of the 1935 Senior TT Race, Jimmie Guthrie had built up a lead of 26 seconds.
As the Moto Guzzi pit-attendants made preparations for Stanley Woods to refuel on the last lap, the Norton pit-crew signalled to Guthrie to easy the pace on the last lap. Stanley Woods riding for Moto Guzzi went straight through the TT Grandstand area without stopping on the last lap and set a new overall lap record of 26 minutes and 10 seconds at an average speed of 86.53 mph (139.26 km/h). Despite the Norton team telephoning the signal station at Ramsey on the last lap to indicate to Jimmie Guthrie to speed-up the pace, Stanley Woods won the 1935 Senior TT Race by 4 seconds from Jimmie Guthrie in 3 hours, 7 minutes and 10 seconds at an average speed of 84.68 mph (136.28 km/h).[1]
Stanley Woods returned to racing in the Isle of Man after breaking a scaphoid bone in his wrist after crashing a 500 Husqvarna on lap 1 of the 1934 Dutch TT Race.[2]
Major alterations to the Snaefell mountain course were carried out for the 1935 TT Races. This included the removal of the hump-backed bridge at Ballig. The road work was completed for the Manx Grand Prix in September 1935. Road widening occurred on the Mountain Course at the Highlander, Laurel Bank, Glen Helen (between the Old Quarry and Brew's Restaurant) and at Brandywell with the removal of the Beinn-y-Phott sheep-gate.[3]
A warm-up period was introduced for the first time before each race.[4]
Associated Talking Pictures used the 1935 TT Races for the backdrop for the motion picture No Limit starring George Formby, who dreams of riding a Shuttleworth Snap motorcycle in the Isle of Man TT Races. Filming started on 15 June 1935 with co-star Florence Desmond using Douglas Beach, White City, Douglas Head Road, the Palace Ballrooms and the Douglas Camera Obscura.[3]
Royal Enfield entered a 500 cc four valve racing model for the Senior TT 1935. This was the last TT Royal Enfield entered.[5]
During practice N. Cook riding an Excelsior crashed at Keppel Gate and George Rowley riding for AJSi at Signpost Corner. An injury to a thumb caused by replacing a drive-chain at Sulby caused Wal Handley to withdraw from the 1935 TT Races.[6]
On lap 3 of the 1935 Junior Race, J.A. Macdonald riding a Norton motorcycle crashed at Union Mills and was killed.[6]
The 1935 Lightweight Race was held in poor weather conditions and Omobono Tenni crashed in the mist at the 32nd Milestone on the 5th lap. Although Tenni continued, he again crashed at Creg-ny-Baa, collided with a flag-marshal and suffered a fractured vertebra. Also, during lap 5 of the 1935 Lightweight Race, Doug Pirie crashed at the 33rd Milestone and was killed.
The 1935 Senior TT Races were postponed from Friday 21 June 1935 to the following day. Interested visitors to the 1935 Senior Race included Florence Desmond, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon and Baron Von Falkenhayn the General Director of NSU motorcycles.[7]
