The Isle of Man, not just an island There is no other island in the world like the Isle of Man. What is possible there will not be possible anywhere elso in the world. Not only the fact that the one and only through road on the island is also the race track, also the fact that the whole island brathes out the passion for motorcycle racing is very special. It is something everyone with a taste for roadracing should experience. Beautiful island |

The Race Track The Race Track runs 100% on public roads and is is 37,7 miles (over 60 km) long and contains 59 named bends, straights, bridges, points and marshal's posts. Time Trial In the 8 races which are run during the week there are hundreds of competitors taking part. The competitors start at intervals of 10 seconds, meaning that the race is a time trial, which is covered life and can be followed along the track on TT-radio. |

They are going like crazy Ever tried to cover 60km within 18 minutes? At an empty motorway it shouldbe possible if you and your bike are capable to travel little over 200km/h. The racetrack on the Isle of Man is everything but a motorway. The road is rather narrow and lined with trees, walls, gates, bus shelters, poles, houses, while lines etc... And hay bailes. New lap records In 2002 David Jefferies did a lap at an average speed of 204,81 km/h during the Formula1-TT. This record was broken in 2004 by John McGuinnes (also riding a Yam-R1) with an average speed of 205,31 km/h. He did the 61km in 17m43,8sec! |
