If you are planning a trip to the IOM TT I hope you will find some of the following helpful. That’s a lot of bikers that need somewhere to stay, eat and drink. The Isle of Man welcomes over 45,000 road racing fans over the course of the TT fortnight. If you think it’s too dangerous then go home and cut your lawn and leave us to it Guy Martin The reason I do it is because if you do it wrong, it will kill you. Most of which are lined with traditional Manx stone walls, trees, kerbs, telephone poles, sign posts and spectators. There are 7 scheduled races with distances ranging from 3 to 6 laps.Īll on standard roads. They’ll average around 135mph and complete a lap well inside 17 minutes. In places the top riders will reach speeds over 200mph. From Ramsey it’s racing over the mountain top and back to Douglas and the Grandstand. Once out of Douglas the riders head off through the many Manx villages to Ramsey in the North of the island. It is 37.73 miles and 250 corners around the mountain course. You’ve got your Nurburgring and your Pikes Peak and these other events but they’re just carparks compared to this place. There really is nothing like the Isle of Man TT and once witnessed, most are hooked for life.
