Stuart made a part time return to racing from 1986-90 with a Lola T70 GT in the British Historic GT Championship and International Super Sports. Once again he retired in 1990 only to make another return in 1996. This time it was to race an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33, resulting in a win. Now Stuart races in a handful of historic events each year, mainly in 1950s sports cars with a Lister Chevrolet, just for fun. Furthermore he still does an occasional MotocycleDemo both in the UK and abroad. Stuart Graham is the only person (post war) to have won TTs on both two and four wheels. Stuart is a former Director of BRDC and Silverstone Circuits.
