With the demise of other legendary events and circuits, the TT Races stand as the last of the great motor-sporting tests in the world today. Remaining largely untouched since 1911, the 37¾ miles of public roads have played host to some of the greatest motorcycle races and riders of all time. From Mike Hailwood’s epic duels with Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read, to the record-breaking rides by Geoff Duke, Mick Grant and Joey Dunlop, the TT simply reverberates with special memories.
“It’s a natural road track, first used for racing purposes in 1947, and very much beloved by all the pilots because it is, illiterately in any possible way, made for the classic motorcycle.”
