The FIM retains a significant collection of ISDT materials the most important of which is the official result set. It is an unavoidable reality that with only 1 original if something were to happen the results may be lost and this has happened to the results of the 1953 and 1954 ISDT.
To British ISDT Historians this is something of a dilemma as 1953 saw the last year the International Trophy was retained by the British Team which even today remains the nation who has held the trophy on the most occasions. In the absence of official results we were offered by our Euro contributor a scanned article from the Austrian edition of Motorrad magazine that provided the final results for every entrant and so as a service to our readers we enclose these results as an image and downloadable pdf to provide opportunity to analyse the results for this important year.
