Isle of man tt: the world’s greatest motorsport event.

Next Chapter >

Nothing else compares to the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT). Held annually on the picturesque Isle of Man, a small island situated in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland, the TT races attract the bravest and most skilled riders, as well as a legion of fervent fans, all drawn by the promise of speed, excitement and danger.

The origins of these races can be traced back to 1907, which makes the Isle of Man TT one of the oldest motorsport events still being contested today.

What sets the TT apart from other motorsport events is where the racing takes place.

The 37.73-mile (60.72km) Snaefell Mountain Course weaves through the island’s villages, countryside, and mountain roads, offering a unique blend of straightaways and sharp turns on public roads closed for the event.

This year, fans lined the banks in big numbers. In fact, the 2024 event – held from late May till early June – had the most spectators since the 2007 centenary TT, with nearly 70,000 people arriving by sea or air to this tiny island nation, almost doubling its population for the fortnight of racing.

The event is so physically large that 2,000 race marshals are positioned around the course.

Unlike the controlled environment of a traditional racetrack, the Mountain Course presents natural hazards: stone walls, lampposts, and even the occasional wayward animal. All these elements amplify the risk, demanding not just technical prowess from the riders but also nerves of steel.

Speed is the essence of Tourist Trophy races. The fastest riders average more than 136mph (218km/h) over a single lap, with top speeds exceeding 200mph (321km/h) along some straights.

Even shooting the TT is on another level. Take this shot from the approach to Hillberry, located on the 36th mile of the circuit. The spectator-filled grass bank exists just metres from where riders blitz past at upwards of 170mph (270km/h), kicking up dust and grass and leaving a body-shaking wake of wind and noise. It’s intoxicating.

There are no barriers or massive catch fencing here, not even safety tape. Common sense rules apply. Want to have a race bike pass by at full noise within a metre or two of your face? Hillberry is the place for you.

This year’s TT had its challenges, inclement weather being the biggest. For all the joy of sitting on a bank watching the racing, it’s less fun when delay after delay halts the action. On a few occasions, the rain caused races to be cancelled outright. As frustrating as that was, it is understandable as rider safety is paramount, and the TT course is challenging enough in the best of conditions.

Even with all the disruption the weather threw at the organisers, nine of the 10 scheduled races were completed, although some at revised (shortened) distances.

The bright side of all the weather stoppages was the opportunity to nose around the paddock.

Here, the big teams are based in large tents kitted out with full workshops’ worth of gear.

Further down the field, things get a little more modest, with some riders doubling as the mechanic. Whatever it takes to be here.

Away from the glare of the television cameras and the masses of spectators, crews rushed around their bikes, preparing them for the next race, be it a simple fluids change or an engine rebuild.

The grid area sits right in the heart of the paddock, and as soon as the PA system fired into life, a sense of excitement always filled the air. In the unmistakable voice of Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson MBE: “Attention paddock, attention paddock, this is race control…” Everyone hopes it’s a call that racing is on.

Once the signal is given, riders quickly assemble. The larger teams retreat to their remote grid boxes while competitors further down the field grab space in the open. Bikes fire into life to begin their warm-up sequences; blankets shroud tyres that will soon meet the Mountain Course.

Watching how each rider counted down the minutes was a real eye-opener. Some were relaxed and chatty, while others were focused on the task ahead.

Every rider who pushes their machine under the start line arch knows the risks that lie ahead. Despite the obvious dangers, more and more riders are signing up to compete. While many chase podium glory, for the majority, simply becoming a TT rider is all that matters.

The focus will always be on the winners and big stars, though.

Davey Todd is the new rockstar of road racing. He’s the king of swag with an Aussie-style mullet and a beaming smile that excludes a no-fear attitude to lapping the Mountain Course. Having moved to the Milwaukee BMW team this year, things have clicked for him.

The opening, and sadly only, Super Stock race went Davey’s way, however, the crowning glory was his win in the Senior TT – the blue-riband finale to this year’s Tourist Trophy.

Just over an hour earlier, my local star Mike Browne claimed a TT podium by finishing third in the Super Twin race, making it onto the rostrum for the second year straight. When I covered a season of  Irish road racing in 2019 , I marked Mike as a star in the making. To be there and see him claim another TT podium was special.

Local brothers Ryan and Calum Crowe took out both Sidecar races. Meanwhile, Peter Hickman had a lucky win in the Superbike opener.

The greatest of all time – ‘G.O.A.T.’ is an acronym often thrown about, sometimes resulting in passionate debate. Here, there is none: Michael Dunlop is the greatest road racer of all time, and this year he rewrote the Tourist Trophy record books.

Arriving on the Isle of Man just one win short of his legendary uncle Joey Dunlop’s record for most TT victories, it only took the opening Supersport race for Michael to equal the tally. A few days later he eclipsed it after winning the first Super Twin race.

Many thought Joey’s tally of 26 wins, having stood since 2000, may never be beaten, so it seemed fitting that it would be the final member of the legendary Dunlop dynasty who would ultimately break the record.

Although a loose helmet visor likely denied Michael the Superbike victory, and a clutch issue prematurely ended his TT Senior chances, more first-place finishes in the second Supersport and Super Twin races of the 2024 event ultimately took his race win tally to 29 – an astonishing feat for the quiet Ballymoney star.

While others celebrated victory with sponsors and friends, with Michael it was nearly always the same routine. Head down, shorts on, and straight into prep for the next race.

For me, the TT is the world’s greatest motorsport event. For two weeks each year, a nation stops, schools close, and public holidays are declared ahead of professional and amateur racers alike attacking the high streets and open roads of the island at wide-open throttle.

It’s impossible not to love the brilliance of it, accept the risks involved, and leave feeling energised knowing that everyone you meet, be they racers, marshals or spectators, is there living their passion. It’s both mad and brilliant. If you haven’t witnessed the Isle of Man TT in person, you really are missing out.

Isle of Man will never EVER fail to impress me with the quality of the participants. It's a wonder how their riding suits could cover their huge cojones so well.

The Isle of Man TT is indeed the world's greatest motorsport event because you are literally sending it on two wheels on a narrow circuit That takes an immense amount of skill close to even Pikes Peak

I would absolutely love to attend the Isle of Man TT as it is such an amazing, and unique event that regardless of whether I like motorcycle racing, I MUST acknowledge that it is the apex of moto racing. Cian, your photos are stunning. ESPECIALLY the panning shots at the corners! All I feel is motion when I look at them.

Cian How much does the winner get? It better be alot for this craziness!! Love to see this in person.

Hi David, The Senior TT is the blue riband race, with £25,000 going to the winner from an overall pot of £84,500. The Superbike TT is next best, with £20,000 for the winner, followed by the Supersport (£10,000 to the winner), Sidecar and Superstock (both £8,000) and finally the Supertwin (£6,000). While it may sound big, don't forget that competitors compete in multiple classes, meaning building and running numerous machines. Michael Dunlop had 6 bikes at the TT this year (2x Honda Superbikes, a Honda Superstock, Triumph Daytona 765 Supersport, a Yamaha R6 Supersport and the Paton for the Supertwin)

Thanks much for these motorcycle articles! I look forward to reading these ones each year!

I like motorcycle. Motorcycle go fast. Jump n has fun colors. Road is narrow and da caw has 2 wheels. Engine go vroom. My favorite EVAR. Other than drifting becaws drifting is also amaze.

Amazing event an amazing pics!

Hello ,What Happen Trek Rood.Jampe fly moto go on trek Racing in Rood Village Town. Dwon No konsisten (Racer) Racing Trek cruciut.

Thank you for the coverage! We definitely need to see some more road racing posts

Bucket-list event to watch one day

Cian, this is definitely some of your best work my friend. The jump shots are so clear, it's crazy. Glad everything went great and you made it back home. From what you told me when Sasha and I were with you in 2022, there are a lot of risks for spectactors and photographer, too. Have a good one, Cian.

Important footnote:it was one of the few TT events that did not claim a life, a feat in and of itself.

Damn, some actual speedhunting on speedhunters, Kinda getting tired of seeing the same stanced euroboxes all the time.

Tourist Trophy – History & Ultimate Guide

By Art Evans

The Tourist Trophy is the oldest motor race in the world still being run. The first was in 1905 on the Isle of Man, organized by the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland. The trophy itself is given by the Royal Automobile Club to the winner.

Over the years, Tourist Trophy races have been part of the World Manufacturers Championship, the World Touring Car Championship, the European Touring Car Championship, the International Sports Racing Series, the FIA GT Championship and the British Touring Car Championship.

Although the first six were held on the Isle of Man, afterwards they moved to various other locations in Northern Ireland and England. TTs, as they are called, were not held during war years and, in addition, there were some other years without events. In all, a total of 66 have been run including 2011. For many of those years, the TT has been Britain’s foremost motor race.

Some of the world’s best racing drivers have taken part including Rudolf Caracciola and Tazio Nuvolari. Stirling Moss won it seven times! Americans Carroll Shelby and John Fitch are also among the winners.

As the name implies, the TT is for touring automobiles, although there was an interlude for sports cars and even briefly for grand prix cars. In recent years, it has been for touring vehicles. During the early years of racing, the British government did not allow racing on public roads, so there was no racing there until a purpose-built course—Brooklands—was opened in 1907. Although part of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man had their own laws that permitted closing public roads for racing. So both were used for this purpose.

The first race on the Isle of Man was in 1904. Not billed as a Tourist Trophy, it was an “Elimination Trial” for the Gordon Bennett Cup event held that year. It was five laps over a 52.15-mile course won by Clifford Earl in a Napier. The Trial was held again in 1905 over the same course and again won by Earl.

As an aside, it should be noted that motorcycle races were also run on the Isle of Man. The day after the 1905 Gordon Bennett Elimination Trial, there was an elimination trial to establish a team to represent Great Britain in the International Motorcycle Cup races.

The very first RAC Tourist Trophy took place the following September, again over the same course. (Called the “Highland Course). John Napier won in six hours and nine minutes with an average speed of 33.90 mph. Regulations required a vehicle weight between 1,300 and 1,600 pounds, a wheelbase of at least seven feet, six inches and a load weight of 660 pounds consisting of driver, mechanic (or passenger) and sand ballast. Entries had to accommodate the driver and three passengers (i.e., have a back seat). Examples of the same car had to be available for sale to the public for at least a month after the event.

Forty-two cars started the race. Twenty-eight were made in England. Sixteen of the English cars finished plus two from other countries. The race was four laps over the Highland Course. Charles Rolls was a pre-race favorite, but Napier in his 3.8-liter Arrol-Johnson finished first by two minutes and nine seconds over a Rolls-Royce driven by Percy Northey. Rolls had stripped his gears shortly after the start. Napier set the fastest lap of one hour, 31 minutes and nine seconds at 34.30 mph.

The RAC decided to have a second event the following year. This time, the Isle of Man course was shortened to 40.25 miles. Charles Rolls won in a more powerful 22-hp model. In 1907, the RAC ran two races, one for lighter, the other for heavier cars. The “Heavy Tourist” was run during a storm. It covered only five laps, but even so, just two cars finished. In 1908 the course was reduced to 37.75 miles in the interest of safety.

For some reason, in 1908, 1914 and 1922, grand prix (open wheel) cars were allowed to compete. There were no TTs during 1909-1913. In 1914, the event was run over two days; each day an eight lapper. For the first time, there were cash prizes with 1,000 pounds to the winner. (A considerable sum in those days).

World War I intervened and there was no race in 1915. The next was in 1922 and then there wasn’t another until 1928. World War II came along, so there were none between 1939 and 1949.

History of the Tourist Trophy – Race Profile Continued

History of the Tourist Trophy – Page Two

During the period 1928 through 1959 and again from 1964 through 1969, production sports cars were allowed to run, even though it was still called the Tourist Trophy. A handicapping system was used so that, in theory at least, tourers had an even chance. Sports cars were allowed again from 1998 through 2001. Otherwise, TTs have been for Touring Cars except in recent years—starting in 2005—when they have been for Grand Tourers.

In 1928, the event moved off of the Isle of Man to Northern Ireland using what was called, the Ards circuit. It was 13.6 miles around an irregular triangle on public roads. An accident in which eight spectators were killed during the 1936 race spelled the end of the Ards circuit. In 1937 and again in 1938, TTs were held at Donnington Park, a 3.125-mile purpose-built course. Starting in 1950 and ending after 1955, the events went back to Northern Ireland using what is called the Dundrod Circuit , 7.42 miles of narrow, twisty public roads. Although potentially dangerous, it was the only place the RAC could find to lay out a true road course. At the first race after WWII—1950—21-year-old Stirling Moss demonstrated his potential, winning in an XK120 Jaguar. He repeated the next year, this time in a C-Type Jaguar.

Perhaps the most noteworthy year was 1955, the year of the horrendous tragedy at Le Mans . For one thing, it was Golden Jubilee year for the Tourist Trophy. Also, it was one of the events that decided the World Manufacturers Championship. Fifteen manufacturers entered including those in the run for the championship: Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and Porsche. John Fitch called parts of Dundrod “narrow and treacherous.” In Racing With Mercedes , he wrote that, “I’d considered it extremely dangerous when I competed there in 1953 and found no reason in 1955 to change my opinion.” On the second lap, Jim Mayers in a Cooper crashed and was killed, as was Bill Smith in a Connaught. Later in the race, Richard Mainwaring was killed when his Elva overturned. Mike Hawthorn and Desmond Tittering were leading on the last lap in their Jaguar when the engine blew. Stirling Moss and John Fitch took the checker in a 300SLR. The Tourist Trophy was never held at Dundrod again. After Moss and Peter Collins won the final race—the Targa Floria—Mercedes-Benz won the Championship.

In 1956 and the following year, there were no TTs, but from 1958 on, all have been on purpose-built courses in England. Goodwood, Oulton Park, Silverstone and Donnington Park, all have hosted England’s premier race. In 1958, Carroll Shelby, with co-driver Steward Lewis-Evans, was third in an Aston Martin and the next year, Shelby, with Jack Fairman and Stirling Moss won in the same marque. In recent years, TTs have been at Silverstone including 2011 when Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr won in a Nissan GT-R GT1.

I believe that the oldest race in the world is the Shelsley Walsh Hill climb.The Tourist Trophy is a revived title these days.

Shelsley Walsh may be an older event, but it isn’t a race, it’s a time trial.

Sir Stirling Moss is the King ! Thanks for this article Love it !

can anyone find out the registration number for Lee Guinness Darracq (#4) please

Thanks for the memories – The ’55 Ulster TT is the first race that I ever attended with my father at the age of 11. Talk about a case of sensual overload!

2024 ISLE OF MAN TT RACES

27th May – 8th June

TOURIST TROPHY: COMING TO TT+ THIS NOVEMBER

The Isle of Man TT Races is known as the world’s ultimate road race. For those who compete it’s a triumph of human spirit and ferocious determination, but what exactly does it take for TT riders to be successful on the island?

The new feature-length film, ‘Tourist Trophy’, goes some way to answering this question, providing a compelling insight into what drives this special group of riders to risk it all in pursuit of TT glory. The film follows several of the leading protagonists who competed at the 2022 event and allows us to better rationalise the TT mind-set through the authentic portrayal of each rider’s TT story.

There’s the determination of Mike Russell as he strives to compete in every race; the highly-anticipated newcomer, Glenn Irwin, who finds his meticulous preparation is challenged by the two-week emotional rollercoaster; and his legendary team-mate, John McGuinness MBE, whose 100th TT race start leads to some searching questions for the 50-year-old. We also follow the journey of the record-breaking sidecar constructors, Tom and Ben Birchall, while no film about today’s TT would be complete without Peter Hickman, the fastest rider ever around the TT Mountain Course – and arguably the man of the moment.

Directed by accomplished documentary maker, Adam Kaleta, ‘Tourist Trophy’ will be streamed exclusively on TT+, the event’s official digital platform. Subscribers to TT+ will be able to watch the feature-length film on Wednesday 23rd November – the same evening it premieres on the big screen here on the Isle of Man ­­– and subscribing to the platform is absolutely free.

Fans who would rather immerse themselves in the cinematic experience of ‘Tourist Trophy’, meanwhile, will be able to do so on Wednesday 23rd November; the film gifted a big screen outing in the Villa Marina’s Royal Hall. The premiere screening also includes an exclusive chat show and signing session with the directors and stars of the film.

Doors open at 6pm, with a Q&A at 7pm and the film will begin at 7:30pm prompt.

Calendrier et horaires des courses du Tourist Trophy 2024

La 103ème édition du Tourist Trophy débute lundi prochain sur l'Île de Man, avec la traditionnelle semaine d'essais suivie de la démentielle semaine de courses... sur le tracé le plus fameux et dangereux du monde : 60 kilomètres de routes de campagnes et rues de village (!) que les pilotes moto négocient à bloc. Demandez le programme !

Chaque année c'est pareil… À la fin du mois de mai, les pilotes de courses moto sur route - et leurs plus grands fans - migrent vers la mer d'Irlande. Ils nichent durant deux semaines sur l'Île de Man, un paradis pour grandes fortunes… et pour motards aux grosses bourses puisque la vitesse en dehors des agglomérations y est libre, toute l'année !

Pendant le Tourist Trophy, les limitations sautent même dans les villes : les 60,73 kilomètres du "famous and dangerous" tracé autour de - et sur - la Snaefel Moutain sont parcourus par les meilleurs en moins de 17 minutes… soit à près de 220 km/h de moyenne à travers la montagne (de 600 m), la campagne et les bourgades !

Le record instauré l'an passé par Peter Hickman et sa M1000RR - en configuration Superstock, moins préparée que la Superbike !- a de fortes chances de tomber en 2024 : le pilote BMW est constamment défié, notamment par Dean Harrison qui est passé de Kawasaki à Honda cet hiver, ainsi que par Davey Todd qui a troqué la Honda pour une BMW...

Le principal rival de "Hicky" demeure toutefois Michael Dunlop, imbattable en catégorie Supersport depuis deux ans (attention, il change sa Yamaha pour une Triumph cette année !). Le fils et frère des regrettés Robert et William ne se trouve qu'à une longueur d'un autre record : les 26 victoires de son oncle Joey, lui aussi tragiquement disparu.

La compétition débutera lundi prochain par une mise en jambes bielles et les premiers essais chronométrés. Après quatre autres journées de "qualifications", les courses se disputeront du samedi 1er au samedi 8 juin : à suivre sur Moto-Net.Com bien sûr, "stay tuned" !
