The ultimate test of man and machine… The hardest race on the planet… The greatest motor-sporting event in the world. For as long as men and women have been competing at the Isle of Man TT Races, people have been trying to explain just how special it truly is.
This new mini-series takes us into the fascinating world of the TT Races, featuring in-depth interviews with some of the greatest road racers of all-time. They talk us through the racing, the festival, the Island, the atmosphere, the spectacle, and what it’s like to tackle the Isle of Man TT and to live life ‘Between the Hedges’.
In Episode 4, we hear how TT fans are like no other. Fiercely proud and deeply loyal, they often turn a one off trip into a lifetime of annual pilgrimage... We ask what does makes the TT so special.
Be the first to watch the next episode!
Episode 5 will be released on TT+ on Monday 20th February.

The only bad thing about these series of films is that they will have to end sometime I guess, brilliant Thanks.

True TT fans respect the dedication the riders put into conquering the most dangerous course in the world, that’s what makes being a TT fan a special breed apart…..you will sit on a hedge for hours, even through delays in the schedule, just to witness how damn special these men & women are, the ultimate road warriors…..👍🇮🇲👌

I've been a Marshal at 4 TT's and I love the look on newbie spectators faces when the first one comes through! The silence broken by the faint buzzing getting louder and louder..... Then the phenomenal noise and the pressure wave.... Love it!

The thing I didn’t expect experiencing when I first watched the TT live was the deep ripping sound of bike and leather-clad rider tearing through the air as they pass you, just feet away… the TV doesn’t ever capture that sensation.

@AdmV0rl0n Жыл бұрын

I grew up on the Island. I rode bikes there (none racing). I lived through Joey's time, Hislops white charger, the two Honda display. I'll be honest, while its good to catch a real glimpse, and to feel real in terms of seeing it, depending on where you are, and what race, you see the riders once a lap, then its 18 mins or so and you see them again. Usually in crowded spots where its hard to find a great viewing spot. None the less, the three week period has a great flavour, atmosphere, and its well worth a visit. But, and I really mean this. The TT can only gain so much interest from the die hard's. What the media folks are doing is going to have it explode. The coverage is now next level. And I think its only going to be a bit of time before the interest matches the event, and it will be world reknown, not as it is now, but on a whole new level.

No matter where the riders stand at the end of an IOM TT race, no matter what number they sport on front, each and every one of them has cajones bigger than their bikes fuel tank. As a motorcycle rider for more than 30 years, I know, hitting 100MPH on ordinary roads, by itself, is mental, but doing at least 3 laps, with average speeds of 130+ MPH, on a nearly 38 mile long race track? That’s a level of mental I don’t think many riders can stomach, leave alone achieve. Salute to these special brand of racers, because for me, they are committed to the truest form of racing this planet has ever had.

I think that the TT is currently the greatest race on the planet but I have to remind people that it may be unique today but there have been road races in the past. The most fantastic was the Mille Miglia in Italy and in 1955 Stirling Moss, driving a Mercedes, completed it in virtually the same average speed as Geoff Duke had in the same year at the TT. The only difference was the Moss did it over a 1000 mile road course. Think about that for a moment.

Ishorinso Honda build Honda by understanding how important racing is to Honda. " If we did not race we would not be Honda. " the boss said that in the early 60"s Honda is still there. and taking the podium as well.
