From 1928 to 1936, the [[RAC Tourist Trophy]] (TT) motorcar races took place on a closed road circuit encompassing Newtownards, Comber and [[Dundonald, County Down|Dundonald]] in County Down, run in a clockwise direction. The pits were still visible up until the 1960s. Industrialist and pioneer of the modern [[agricultural tractor]], [[Harry Ferguson]], was instrumental in setting up the race, which was known as the Ards TT.
At the time it was Northern Ireland's premier sporting event, regularly attracting crowds in excess of a quarter of a million people. Although it was a speed event, the entries were handicapped in order to allow cars of very different sizes and capabilities to race against each other on supposedly even terms over 30 laps (35 laps from 1933) of the {{Convert | 13.7 | mi}} circuit. On 5 September 1936, in wet conditions, local driver Jack Chambers lost control of his [[Riley (motor-car)|Riley]] and crashed into the crowd, killing eight spectators. This tragedy brought an end to nine years of racing over the Ards road circuit.<ref name="BBC Article">{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7567063.stm |title=Memorial revives Ards TT memories|access-date=2009-01-05|work= BBC | date=18 August 2008}}</ref>   -->
