It was the thirteenth race of the 1935 Grand Prix season, but it did not count towards the championship. The race, contested over 50 laps of 4.035 mi, or 6.494 km, was won by Brian Lewis driving a Bugatti T59 after starting from pole position. He also won the two previous editions of the Mannin Moar.

Mays at his turn had gone up to fourth place. Within ten laps three drivers had to retire - Rose-Richards because of a broken universal joint and later both Leitch and Hamilton crashed separately. In the thirteenth lap Shuttleworth retired, leaving the podium positions open for three Bugattis - Lewis, Martin and Eccles. Mays later challenged Eccles until both ERA drivers (Mays and Cook) had to make an extra pit stop around lap thirty due to problems with their cars. However, when Eccles got transmission trouble Mays took over third position, having passed Fontés on lap forty. But in the last lap the ERA broke down with transmission failure, so Mays retired and the last podium position - after Lewis and Martin - finally went to Fontés. This was Lewis' third Mannin Moar victory.http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/cd1935/text.htm Text - Chapter 7 Circuit Dust, 1935 isle-of-man.com April 21, 2014 Race results Pos.DriverCar ConstructorTime (Diff.)/Status1Brian LewisBugatti2:40:112Charlie MartinBugatti+513Luis FontésAlfa Romeo+8:034Teddy RaysonBugatti+15:00Not classified NCAustin DobsonAlfa Romeo+1 lap (Flagged off)Not classified NCCharles BrackenburyBugatti+1 lap (Flagged off)RetDick WilkinsAlfa Romeo+1 lap (DNF - crash)RetRaymond MaysERA+1 lap (DNF - universal joint)RetLindsay EcclesBugatti+19 laps (DNF - universal joint)RetHumphrey CookERA+20 laps (DNF - oil pump)RetDick ShuttleworthAlfa Romeo+37 laps (DNF - transmission)RetAnthony HamiltonAlfa Romeo+41 laps (DNF - crash)RetAndrew LeitchBugatti+49 laps (DNF - crash)RetTim Rose-RichardsMaserati+50 laps (DNF - universal joint) Sources:https://www.goldenera.fi/gp3311.htm#42 I Mannin Moar Leif Snellman Dec 16, 2024 19 January 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210119105419/http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp3311.htm#42 dead https://www.goldenera.fi/gp3403.htm#14 II Mannin Moar Leif Snellman Dec 16, 2024 20 June 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130620105040/http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp342.htm#14 dead https://www.goldenera.fi/gp3503.htm#13 III Mannin Moar Leif Snellman Dec 16, 2024 30 October 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131030122456/http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp352.htm#13 dead The Mannin Moar.
