TAS Suzuki continued its winning momentum in 2004, with Bruce Anstey and Adrian Archibald claiming victories in the Production TT and Senior TT, respectively. However, the 2004 event is equally remembered for the rising dominance of John McGuinness, who not only shattered the outright lap record but also secured three victories, earning his place alongside legends Mike Hailwood, Joey Dunlop, Steve Hislop, and David Jefferies in the prestigious ‘hat-trick club.’

Headlines were further stolen by Dave Molyneux, who drew level with his great rival Rob Fisher on ten Mountain Course wins, and by Ryan Farquhar, who celebrated his maiden victory and signaled the arrival of a major new talent.
