The Verandah series of bends follows the land contours of Snaefell mountain as an embankment with a purpose-built graded road section and reflects nineteenth-century highway construction practices.
[citation needed] The Verandah area nearby Stonebreakers Hut was part of the Highland Course and Four Inch Course used for the Gordon Bennett Trial and Tourist Trophy automobile car races held in the Isle of Man between 1904 and 1911.
[3] For the 1935 Isle of Man TT races, two motorcycle-equipped Travelling Marshalls were employed to search for missing riders, particularly in poor weather conditions on the mountain section.
[11] From 1973, any weather conditions that would not allow a rescue helicopter to take off or land would lead to any TT or Manx Grand Prix Race being delayed or cancelled.
[12] Manxman Conor Cummins crashed off the side of the Verandah at high speed during the 2010 Senior TT race, tumbling down the mountainside,[2] breaking several vertebrae and an arm, and damaging a knee.
