The
Isle of Man
TT
(
Tourist Trophy
; sometimes
TT
) races are an annual
motorcycle racing
event held on the
Isle of Man
in May and June of mostly every year since its inaugural race in
1907
. The two-week event is sanctioned by the
Auto-Cycle Union
, which also organises the event through its commercial arm known as Auto-Cycle Union Events
Ltd. The
Manx government
owns the rights to and promotes the event.

The Isle of Man
TT is a series of time-trial format races, run on public roads closed for racing. The event consists of one week of practice and qualifying sessions, followed by one week of racing. The closed public roads form the
Snaefell Mountain Course
, a 37.73-mile (60.72 km) route containing 219
turns that traverses through a mix of urban and rural areas.
[

]
The event currently features 5
different classes of road racing, each competing in two races over the course of the racing week. Since the inaugural Isle of Man
TT in 1907, the event has been held mostly every year since, with seasons being cancelled only due to war or disease outbreak. The TT has become part of the local culture and economy of the Isle of Man with more than 40,000 visitors annually traveling to the island for the event.

A Napier automobile at the start line of the 1904 Gordon Bennett Trials
Motor racing began on the Isle of Man in 1904 with the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial, restricted to touring automobiles. The
Motor Car Act 1903
placed a speed restriction of 20 mph (32 km/h) on all automobiles in the UK, effectively restricting road racing activities. Julian Orde, Secretary of the Automobile Car Club of Britain and Ireland approached the authorities on the Isle of Man for the permission to race automobiles on the island's public roads.
[
4
]
The Manx government agreed, and passed the Highways (Light Locomotive) Act. This gave permission for the 1904 Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial to take place on the Isle of Man around the 52.15-mile (83.93 km)
Highroads Course
. The first year of the trial was won by Clifford Earl (Napier) in 7 hours 26.5 minutes, driving five laps of the
Highroads Course
for a total of 255.5 mi or 411.2 km. The following year, the Gordon Bennett Trial was held again, on 30 May 1905 and was again won by Clifford Earl driving a Napier automobile, completing six laps in 6 hours and 6 minutes. In September 1905, the first Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Race for automobiles, now known as the
RAC Tourist Trophy
was held. This race was won by John Napier (Arrol-Johnston) in 6 hours and 9 minutes at an average speed of 33.90 mph (54.56 km/h).
[

]
In 1905, it was decided to run an eliminating trial for motorcycles the day after the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial. This was to qualify a team to represent
Great Britain
in the International Motor-Cycle Cup Race held in
Austria
. The inability of the motorcycles to climb the steep Mountain Section of the course forced the organisers to use a smaller 25-mile (40 km) section of the Gordon Bennett Trial course that included less elevation. This ran from
Douglas
south to
Castletown
and then north to
Ballacraine
along the primary
A3 road
, returning to the start at the
Quarterbridge
in Douglas via
Crosby
and Glen Vine along the current
Snaefell Mountain Course
in the reverse direction. The 1905 International Motor-Cycle Cup Race consisted of five laps, and was won by J.S. Campbell (Ariel) despite a fire during a pit stop.
[
6
]
Campbell completed the 125 mi (201 km) race distance in 4 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds at an average race speed of 30.04 mph (48.34 km/h).
[

]
The 1906 International Motor-Cycle Cup race was plagued by accusations of cheating and fraudulence.
[
8
]
Frustrated by the experience, the Secretary of the Auto-Cycle Club, Freddie Straight, brothers
Charlie Collier
and Harry Collier of
Matchless Motorcycles
, and the Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars (president of the FICM) had a conversation on the train journey home that led to a suggestion of a race the following year for road touring motorcycles based on the automobile races held on the Isle of Man.

Early history (1907–1948)
[
edit
]
At the Annual Auto Cycle Club dinner party on 17 January 1907, the editor of Motorcycle Magazine formally proposed this new race for motorcycles on the Isle of Man.
[
10
]
This new race, named the Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy, was to take inspiration from the earlier motorcycle trial race that was held in 1905, running on a shorter course with less elevation than the mountain course used by automobiles. This shorter course, named the
St. John’s Short Course
formed a 15.85 mile triangular shape, and the race was set at 10 laps for a 158.5 mi (255 km) overall distance.
[
11
]
Based on the touring oriented style racing at the time, two classes were established for the Auto Cycle Tourist Trophy based on number of cylinders and fuel economy. The first was a single cylinder class, with a
fuel economy
limit of 90 miles per gallon of fuel, and the second was a two cylinder class, with fuel economy limit of 75 miles per gallon of fuel throughout the race. The machines competing were mandated to be touring motorcycles equipped with saddles, pedals, mudguards, exhaust silencers, and a toolkit.

Rem Fowler and his Peugeot engined Norton
The
first Isle of Man TT
race was held on Tuesday 28 May 1907. Charles Collier won the single cylinder class riding a Matchless machine at an average speed of 38.22 mph.
Rem Fowler
won the two cylinder class riding a
Peugeot
engined
Norton
at an average speed of 36.22 mph.
[
12
]
Of the 25 race entrants, only 12 finished the race.
[
9
]
Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy Races continued for the next four years on the St John's Short Course. For the
1908 race
, the fuel consumption was raised to 100 mpg for single-cylinder machines and 80 mpg for twin-cylinder machines and the use of pedals was banned. The 1908 race was won by Jack Marshall on a
Triumph
motorcycle at an average speed of 40.49 mph (65.16 km/h).
[
13
]
In
1909
, the fuel consumption regulations were abandoned along with the use of exhaust silencers. The single-cylinder machines were limited to a
capacity
of 500cc and the twins to a 750cc engine capacity.
[
14
]
Due to the concern over increasing lap-speed, the
1910 event
saw the capacity of the twin-cylinder machines reduced to 670cc. By 1910, the last year of the short course, the average speed had risen to 55.15 mph, achieved by Charlie Collier riding on a Matchless motorcycle.
[
15
]
Due to the ever increasing speeds and technical innovations seen in previous years competitions, the
1911 TT
was moved to the much longer and challenging
Snaefell Mountain Course
. At the time this course was 37.40 miles (60.19 km) long, with its layout differing slightly from the current mountain course. Similar to the short course of the previous years, much of the mountain course consisted of unpaved dusty tracks with loose rutted surfaces that created many obstacles for the riders to overcome.
[
16
]
The two classes were changed and renamed as the
Senior
and
Junior
classes. The Senior class permitted single cylinder machines with engines displacing up to 500cc and two cylinder machines with engines up to 500cc. The Junior class permitted 300cc single cylinder and 340cc two cylinder motorcycles. Each class was run in their own separate race, instead of together as in previous years. The Senior race was five laps and the Junior race was four laps.
[
10
]
The steep gradients of the mountain course made the single gear machines of the past years obsolete, requiring manufacturers to develop some type of
transmission
to be competitive. American built
Indian
motorcycles proved to be well suited to the mountain course and won the top three positions in the Senior TT race. Oliver Godfrey won the Senior class with an average speed of 47.63 mph. The 1911 TT recorded the first fatality at the motorcycle race with
Victor Surridge
dying from a crash during practice.
[
16
]
The Isle of Man TT continued in a similar format for the next three years. The
1912 race
was
boycotted
due to protests from some Isle of Man residents regarding the safety of the event. Despite this the TT continued, albeit with a much reduced entry list. Additionally the classes were tweaked for 1912 with both single and two cylinder motorcycles being held to the same engine displacement, 500cc for the Senior, and 350cc for the Junior.
[
17
]
The
1913 race
saw a large rebound in the number of entrants compared to the previous year. The race format was changed, now with two races per class. A six lap Junior race was split up into two races, a two lap event, and a four lap event. The seven lap Senior race was split up, starting with a three lap event, with another 4 lap race being run concurrently with the 4 lap Junior race.
[
18
]
The
1914 race
was the last to be held before the outbreak of
World War I
, motorcycle racing would not return to the Isle of Man until 1920.
[

]
The starting grid of one of the races in 1926
With sufficient entries to satisfy the ACU, the TT returned in
1920
with multiple changes made to the event. The course was altered to its current 37.75 mile format, with the riders now starting at the top of
Bray Hill
. A new
Lightweight class
was added as part of the Junior race. This Lightweight class permitted motorcycles displacing up to 250cc.
[
19
]
The first and second place winners of the 1920 Senior TT were the first to finish a TT with an average speed over 50 miles per hour.
[
20
]
In the following
1921 TT
, Howard Davies became the first and only rider to have ever won a Senior TT while riding a Junior TT machine.
[
21
]
By
1922
, the Lightweight class had proved to be popular enough that it became its own five lap race, for a total of three separate races in the event.
[
22
]
The
1923
running of the TT saw
Stanley Woods
win his first TT in the Junior race.
[
23
]
Another class change came in 1923 with the introduction of the
Sidecar class
being run in its own three lap race.
Freddie Dixon
and Walter Perry won this inaugural sidecar race at an average speed of 53.15 miles per hour.
[
12
]
Alex Bennett atop his 1927 Senior TT winning Norton
A new
Ultra-Lightweight
Class was added for the
1924 TT
, which permitted machines displacing up to 175cc, competing in their own race.
[
24
]
The 1924 Lightweight TT was unique in that it was a "mass start" event in which the entire grid started at the same time. This is in contrary to the typical TT races in which the riders are started one by one with a set time interval. In
1925
Wal Handley
became the first rider ever to win two TT races in one week, taking first place in both the Junior and Ultra-Lightweight races.
[
25
]
In
1926
the ACU removed both the Sidecar and the Ultra-Lightweight classes due to a lack of entries.
[
26
]
Additionally, there was pressure from the manufacturers to remove the sidecar class due to their feelings that racing was not the best way to promote sidecar sales.
[
23
]
This left only the Senior, Junior and Lightweight classes, each running in their own seven lap race. The 1926 TT also produced the first ever 70 mile per hour lap, set by
Jimmy Simpson
who had also set the first 60 mile per hour lap average.
[
12
]
Throughout the 1920s road conditions the Mountain Course gradually improved, and by the end of the decade almost the entire mountain section was paved. The improved course, combined with motorcycle development saw lap records consistently broken during this period.
From the first Isle of Man TT in 1907 all the way through 1927, practice occurred with the roads open. Therefore, riders had to avoid pedestrians and vehicles that were going about their daily business. During a practice session for the
1927 TT
, rider
Archie Birkin
swerved to dodge a fish van on the road and ended up hitting a wall. He died from his injuries, and this incident prompted the ACU to close roads for practice every year thereafter.

Stanley Woods descending Bray Hill in the 1935 TT
The popularity of the TT had been building throughout the 1920s and by 1930, portions of the Senior TT were broadcast by
BBC
for the first time. The increase in popularity brought an increase in the prize money, which in turn attracted more participants. The
1930 race
saw entrants from 19 different countries, cementing the Isle of Man TT as a significant international motorcycle racing event.
[
28
]
This is further proved by the
1931 event
, in which 153 machines of 22 different makes entered, including eight foreign factory teams. Jimmy Simpson again raised the bar in the 1931 Senior TT and set the first 80 mile per hour lap record. Despite being the first rider to set 60, 70, and 80 mile per hour laps, Jimmy Simpson had still not won a TT by 1931.
[
29
]
In the face of mounting international factory competition, British built bikes remained the most competitive over the first half of the 1930’s. The two most dominant British makes at the time were
Norton
and
Rudge
and their battles to be the fastest at the TT bred significant innovations in their race bikes such as
overhead camshafts
and
multi-valve
heads.
[
28
]
The British dominance would come to an end in
1935
when experienced rider Standley Woods switched to
Moto Guzzi
motorcycles. He went on to win both the Senior and the Lightweight races, setting a new course record in the process.
[

Georg Meier riding his supercharged BMW in the 1939 TT
To remain competitive, British manufacturers such as Norton and
Velocette
, chose to focus on the handling of their single cylinder motorcycles. With more advanced suspension systems front and rear, the singles remained in the fight and in 1938,
Harold Daniell
riding a Norton, set the first ever average race speed above 90 miles per hour. This record of 91 mph over seven laps of the Mountain course would stand for 12 years until being broken after
World War II
. The
1938 TT
was also the first to have a German made motorcycle win a race, with a
two-stroke
DKW
winning the Lightweight TT.
[
31
]
The German manufacturers returned in force for the 1939 race with
BMW
,
NSU
and DKW fielding factory machines. The
supercharged
BMW twin would go on to win the Senior TT, ridden by
Georg Meier
. The
1939 TT
was the last to be held before the outbreak of World War II.
[
32
]
The Isle of Man TT returned for the first time after World War II in
1947
. Based on the performance of the BMWs in the 1939 Senior TT, superchargers were banned from the race. Introduced was a new Clubman’s set of classes which allowed essentially standard road going motorcycles to compete, so long as they were fitted with lights and kick starter. The Clubman's classes mirrored the existing classes, with a Clubman's Lightweight, Clubman's Junior, and Clubman's Senior class all competing in their own races.
[
33
]
The riders were little-known, but as the stars were barred from entering the class, it provided a stepping-stone for future-stars. Like the early Lightweight TT races, the Clubman's races were "mass start" events. The Senior TT remained the ultimate race of the weekend and Harold Daniel, riding a Norton, went on to repeat his success of 1938 taking first place. Due to the much lower quality of petrol after the war, his fastest lap was only 84.07 mph, significantly slower than nine years prior.
[
12
]
By
1948
running, the TT had firmly recovered from the post war slump with over 100 entrants across the four classes.
[

Grand Prix World Championship (1949–1976)
[
edit
]
The Isle of Man TT became part of the
FIM
Motor-cycle Grand Prix World Championship
(now
MotoGP
) as the British round of the World Motor-Cycling Championship during the period
1949
–
1976
. During this period the Isle of Man TT races included the
Sidecar TT
, 50 cc Ultra-Lightweight TT, 125 cc Lightweight TT, 250 cc Lightweight TT, 350 cc Junior TT and 500 cc Senior TT races counted towards the FIM Motor-Cycle Grand Prix World Championship.
The Clubman races with Lightweight, Junior and Senior classes were held for production motorcycles from
1947
until
1956
.
[
35

A Senior 1000 cc class provided an opportunity for
Vincent motorcycles
.
[

The series became dominated by one model – the
BSA Gold Star
,
[
37
]
[
38
]
[
39
]
and with little competition from other manufacturers, was discontinued. When previewing the impending re-introduction of a specification-controlled, roadster-based class in March 1967,
David Dixon
wrote: "
lack of inter-make rivalry probably put the final nail in the coffin
".

Writing in UK monthly magazine
Motor Cyclist Illustrated
, racing journalist Ray Knight, who had achieved a lap speed of nearly 88 mph on a
Triumph Tiger 100
roadster
-based racing motorcycle in the
Manx Grand Prix
,

]
[

[

commented in early 1965 that the
ACU
had refused a request from manufacturers to run a production TT race, which he thought was a missed opportunity, particularly considering the dwindling support for the 500 cc race.

Beryl Swain
became the first woman to compete in a TT race for solo motorcycles when she competed in the Isle of Man TT in 1962.
[

There was subsequently a ban on women in the race from 1962 until
Hilary Musson
competed in 1978.

Following safety concerns with the
Snaefell
Mountain Course and problems over inadequate "start-money" for competitors, there was a boycott of the Isle of Man TT races from the early 1970s by many of the leading competitors, motorcycle manufacturers and national motorcycle sporting federations.
[
49
]
After the 1972 races, multiple world champion, 10-time TT race winner and dominant motorcycle racer of his time
Giacomo Agostini
announced he would never race again at the Isle of Man, declaring it too dangerous for international competition and that it was outrageous that such a race should ever be part of a scenario professional riders were forced into; at this point the Isle of Man TT was not suited to the growing professionalism and business aspects of Grand Prix motorcycle racing. More and more riders joined his boycott, and after 1976, the Isle of Man TT lost its world championship status; this was transferred to the United Kingdom by the
FIM
and run as the
British Grand Prix
for the
1977 season
.
Formula TT (1977–1990)
[
edit
]
The Isle of Man
TT Races then became an integral part of the new style
TT Formula
1
, Formula
2, and Formula
3 World Championships between 1977 and 1990 to develop and maintain the international racing status of the Isle of Man TT races.

during the 2013 Supersport TT
The event was redeveloped by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism as the
Isle of Man TT Festival
from 1989 onwards. This included new racing events for the new Isle of Man TT Festival programme, including the Pre-TT Classic Races in 1989 followed by the Post-TT Races from 1991, both held on the
Billown Circuit
. In 2013, the Isle of Man
Classic TT
was developed by the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development and the Auto-Cycle Union for historic racing motorcycles, and along with the
Manx Grand Prix
, it formed part of the 'Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling' held in late August of each year. The Classic TT brand ceased operation prior to the 2022 event, with classes for historic racing motorcycles integrated into the Manx Grand Prix. The TT is now promoted by the Isle of Man Government Department for Enterprise.
The 2001 Isle of Man TT races were cancelled because of the
outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK
in the spring and summer of 2001. Disinfecting 40,000 spectators and competitors (and their motorcycles) to ensure the disease was kept off the island proved difficult.
There has been criticism of the event. In 2007, an incident during the Senior Race resulted in the deaths of a rider and two spectators.
[
51
]
The resultant inquest made several recommendations and included several comments, such as: 'Senior Marshals may well have been elevated beyond the sphere of their competence'.
[
52
]
The coroner also noted that "I am more than aware of the fact that the witnesses from the Manx Motor Cycle Club and the marshals are all volunteers. They give their time freely and without paid reward. Having said that however, if it were suggested because they were volunteers there should be some allowance in the standards expected of them, then I regret I cannot agree."
[
53
]
The TT Zero was a one lap race for electric bikes running from 2010 to 2019. It was announced that the race would take a two-year break after 2019, but it never came back on the schedule since.
[
54
]
In March 2020, the Isle of Man Government announced the cancellation of the 2020 TT due to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic
.
[
55
]
The Classic TT was subsequently cancelled in May,
[
56
]
and in December 2020, it was announced that 2021's TT races would also not go ahead, due to the continued worldwide spread of the virus.
[
57
]
In 2020, the Isle of Man Government lost an estimated £4.8 million of its annual projected revenue due to the cancellation of the TT races.
[
58
]
The event returned in 2022 after a two-year absence.
[
59
]
The Isle of Man TT typically begins on the
Spring Bank Holiday
which falls on the last Monday of May and runs for 13 days into the beginning of June. The first 5 days of the event are known as qualifying week and consist of several practice and qualifying sessions for the different classes. Races begin on the weekend after qualifying and run through the following week.
[
60
]
There are typically one or two rest days in the middle of race week. The rest days are held as contingency days in the schedule in the case of poor weather disrupting the earlier qualifying or racing sessions.
To be eligible to race in the Isle of Man TT, competitors must hold a National or International race licence and have recent, relevant experience in motorcycle racing events. Newcomers to the TT are assessed on a case by case basis with officials looking at their track record in competitive racing. Entrants must be able to demonstrate that they have been competitive in other recognized road race events, by having scored points or placing within the top six finishers. A common stepping stone into the Isle of man TT is the
Manx Grand Prix
, which is an amateur version of the TT held in the late summer.
[
61
]
Entrants are accepted in an order of priority based on the riders finishing position in the previous year's TT, and then the riders fastest lap speed in any previous TT. Up to 15 newcomers are allowed per race. For the Superbike and Superstock classes, entries are limited to a maximum of 72 starters. The Supersport, Supertwin, and Sidecar classes are limited to a maximum of 78 starters.
[
62
]
One driving factor to the limit on the number of starters is the start procedure which spaces out each competitor by 10 seconds. With 78 starters, it takes 13 minutes for every competitor to have set off. With a single lap taking around 17 minutes to complete, that leaves only 4 minutes for the start gate and personnel to leave the start finish line before the first riders return.
There are several qualifying sessions throughout the first week of the Isle of Man TT. The qualifying sessions group several classes together, with Superbike, Superstock and Supersport commonly all running in the same session. The Sidecar class always runs in its own dedicated session. Newcomers are given priority during qualifying, and are allowed to participate in the majority of sessions regardless of their class. This is to ensure that newcomers can gain as much exposure to the track prior to the races.
[
63
]
To qualify for a race, an entrant's qualifying time must be within a certain percentage of the time set by the third fastest qualifier in the class. For the solo races, it is within 112% of the third fastest qualifier. For the sidecar race, it is within 120% of the third fastest qualifying time. The qualifying results are based on any of the times set in any of the sessions before the close of qualifying.
[
63
]
Competitors line up at the start of the
2010
Senior TT
race
There are two races held per class throughout the second week of the TT. The format of the race is a
time trial
, where in order to win, the rider must complete the race in the least amount of time. Therefore, the track position in which the riders finish the race is irrelevant. Race competitors are started in ten second intervals, ensuring that each rider is able to focus on the track instead of passing one another.
[
64
]
That being said, it is common for riders to encounter each other on the track as the race progresses, and riders may end up having to overtake each other during the race. The number of laps per race varies depending on the class:
Class
Number of laps
Total distance
Superbike / Senior

The Senior race is typically the last race held and is considered the most important of the TT. The Senior race is unique because is it not limited to machines conforming to the Superbike class rules. Riders are permitted to change machine to any other eligible machine on which the rider has qualified to race or has raced during the meeting.
[
64
]
It is not uncommon for riders to enter the Senior TT riding on their Superstock class machines. In some cases, the Superstock class machines can be faster than the Superbike class, despite their less extensive performance modifications. The current lap record on the Mountain Course was set by
Peter Hickman
during a Superstock race.
[
70
]
In the case of inclement weather, races may be postponed to later in the day, or later in the week. If the schedule necessitates, the number of laps per race may be reduced to fit them in the remaining schedule.
[
70
]
Most races will require a
pit stop
at some point to refuel. Typically, TT motorcycles can complete two laps before needing to refuel. The Superbike class machines will also have the rear tyre changed during one of their pit stops. Fuel is gravity fed to the motorcycles from elevated tanks and can take up to a minute for a full refill during a stop. In the meantime, the rider is able to clean their helmet visor, drink water, and receive information from the pit crew regarding their performance.

The racing classes that compete at the Isle of Man
TT are broadly similar to the standard FIM race classes with additional TT-specific regulations.
Superbike TT (2005–present)
[
edit
]
The superbike class represents the highest performance motorcycles that compete at the Isle of Man
TT. These machines must appear on the FIM homologated motorcycles list. Commonly these machines are 1,000
cc four-cylinder sport bikes that have been heavily modified for racing purposes. General specifications are as follows:
# of cylinders
Engine displacement
Typical power
Minimum weight
3–4
750 – 1,000
cc
250 hp
165 kg (364 lbs)
2
850 – 1,200
cc
Other machines may be admitted at the discretion of the organisers.
[
63
]
Supersport TT (2005–present)
[
edit
]
The supersport class can be considered the modern incarnation of the Junior
TT class. Supersport motorcycles are more limited in the amount and types of modifications they can make. Specifications are based on the FIM
Supersport Championship.

Supertwin TT (2022–present)
[
edit
]
2022 saw the introduction of the supertwin race run over 3
laps, increased to 4
laps the following year. The class is very similar to the lightweight class which last ran in 2019, although with some differences. The maximum capacity has been increased to 700
cc allowing the Yamaha
YZF-R7 and Aprilia
RS660 to compete. In 2022 bikes with capacities of 651
cc+ were required to run 10 kg heavier than the 150 kg limit for the 650
cc machines, but 2023 saw this changed and all bikes in the class now have a minimum weight of 150 kg.

The
1923 TT
was the first time the Sidecar
TT race was run, over three laps (113 mi or 182 km) of the
Mountain Course
and was won by
Freddie Dixon
and passenger Walter Denny with a
Douglas
and special
banking-sidecar
at an average race speed of 53.15 mph (85.54 km/h). For the
1926 event
the Sidecar and
Ultra-Lightweight TT
classes were dropped due to lack of entries.
Sidecar TT race competitors line up to start the race
The Sidecar race was re-introduced from the
1954 event
for Sidecars not exceeding 500 cc engine capacity, run on the
Clypse Course
. A non-championship 750 cc class for sidecars was introduced at the
1968 event
. For the
1976 event
the race was held over two-legs. From 1975, the previous 500 cc and 750 cc classes for Sidecars were replaced by a 1,000 cc engine capacity class. The new
FIM
Formula
2 class for Sidecars was introduced for the 1990 Isle of Man
TT.
1954–1959: FIM World Championship Event for Side-Cars not exceeding 500 cc engine capacity. Race held on the
Clypse Course
.
1960–1976: FIM World Championship Event held on
Mountain Course
.
1968–1974: Non-Championship event for Sidecars not exceeding 750 cc.
1975–1989: Sidecars not exceeding 1,000 cc engine capacity.
1990–present: FIM Formula 2 Sidecar race for two-stroke engines not exceeding 350 cc or four-stroke engines not exceeding 600 cc.
Current specifications
[
edit
]
Machines must comply with general technical rules as per ACU Standing Regulations and 2015 Isle of Man
TT regulations.
501–600 cc, 4
stroke, 4
cylinder, production based motorcycle engines.
After the completion of a practice or race period, an official course vehicle displaying the notice
Roads Open
proceeds around the Mountain Course, passing each point opening the roads including side-access junctions to public use. On the
Snaefell mountain road
section from Ramsey to Douglas, the official vehicle displays the notice
Roads Open One Way.
Travelling marshals
[
edit
]
Two motorcycles with 'M' plates used by travelling marshals during race and practice sessions,
[

]
positioned ready for course-deployment at
Parliament Square, Ramsey
on a race day in 2008
Originally introduced in 1935, there are eight machines positioned around the course to provide a rapid response to any incidents. Selected riders have previous race experience and are first-aid trained, with machines carrying medical equipment that can assist in managing a casualty. They also have other duties such as course inspection, observation of machines on the course for visible faults, and review and report any course incidents.
[
74
]
Until 2024, all travelling marshals rode
Honda CBR1000RR
Fireblades.
[
75
]
From 2025, BMW Motorrad announced a 3-year deal with the Isle of Man TT to supply a mixture of
S1000RR
and M1000RR machinery.
[
76
]
The 1982 Road Racing Act (Isle of Man) and the supplementary TT Road Races Orders allow vehicles and pedestrians to cross the Snaefell Mountain Course at certain points between scheduled race periods under the supervision of a police officer. Several permanent pedestrian overbridges have been erected. These points include:
A2
St Ninian's Crossroads
with the
A22
Ballaquayle Road and the A22 Ballanard Road

Part of the access road passing under the A1 Peel Road
The TT Access Road runs parallel to a section of the
A1
Peel Road, which is part of the
Snaefell Mountain Course
, and operates during practice and race periods to enable vehicles to pass from inside of the race course to the outside. It runs along a section of former railway line on the historic Douglas to
Peel
route, from the junction of the
A5
New Castletown Road
at the
Quarter Bridge
, passing under the course at
Braddan Bridge
, to an exit at Braddan School Road in Douglas outskirts, near the former
Braddan Railway Halt
and the
A23
/Ballafletcher Road junction. The access road is a narrow,
single-track width
with passing places and is restricted to cars and light vans below a weight limit of 3,500 kilograms (3.4 long tons; 3.9 short tons). When used for vehicular traffic, pedestrian access is prohibited, but at other times it is part of a system of
nature trails
.

Incidents and controversies
[
edit
]
Between 1907 and 2023, there have been 156 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and 269 total fatalities (this number includes the riders killed during the
Manx Grand Prix
, and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s).
[
79
]
[
80
]
[
81
]
In 2016, 5 riders died on the course during official practices or races.
[
82
]
[
83
]
[
84
]
[
85
]
There were six fatalities among competitors in the
1970
and
2022
Isle of Man TTs, making them the two deadliest years in the history of the event.

2018 Course Car incident
[
edit
]
Sidecars returning to
Paddock
past
Sarah's Cottage
in reverse direction to a normal race after a red flag caused by a competitor's crash in
2009
On 30 May 2018, an experienced TT rider,
Steve Mercer
,
[
89
]
[
90
]
was seriously injured during a head-on collision with an official Course Car at
Ballacrye
. The car, being driven at high speed,
[
91
]
[
92
]
was conveying police officers to officiate at the scene of a fatality involving
Dan Kneen
. Mercer was unconscious for five days and hospitalised for five months due to multiple injuries. He was one of seven riders who had been halted on the course and turned back by marshals, being instructed to proceed back to the
TT Grandstand
area in the reverse direction after the
red flag stoppage
.
[
93
]
[
94
]
Immediately after the accident the organisers changed their protocols, requiring that returning riders must be controlled by motorcycle-mounted
travelling marshals
to the front and rear.
[
95
]
[
96
]
An independent inquiry into the circumstances was arranged by ACU Events, the event organisers.
[
97
]
The
Auto-Cycle Union
, the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise, and the inquiry report author, lawyer Rob Jones, a former chief executive of the
Motor Sports Association
, all refused to release the report as it was confidential and privately owned by the ACU.
[
92
]
[
94
]
[
98
]
[
99
]
The ACU admitted liability for the accident, but instructed that any legal claim for compensation by Mercer must be filed in the Isle of Man. The ACU stated that Mercer was receiving financial assistance through its "extensive insurance arrangements".
[
90
]
[
100
]
[
101
]
In 2019, it was reported that the driver of the car in the collision had quit after criticism that he exceeded a newly introduced speed limit recorded by a
GPS tracking device
when he drove to attend a fatality involving Chris Swallow at
Ballaugh
in August's Senior Classic TT. Gary Thompson, Clerk of the Course and an ACU employee, had been criticised in 2018 for also fulfilling the role of Safety Officer; consequently a new incumbent was in place for 2019.

There have been numerous video games based on the Isle of Man TT; the first was the 1995
Sega
arcade game
Manx TT Super Bike
, which was later ported to the
Sega Saturn
in 1997.
[

]
Several other games have followed since, including
Suzuki TT Superbikes
(2005), TT Superbikes: Real Road Racing Championship and TT Superbikes Legends (both 2008), all of which were released exclusively for the
PlayStation 2
, and developed by
Jester Interactive
.
Bigben Interactive
has since revived the TT game license, releasing TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge in 2018 and two sequels in 2020 and 2023.

The **Isle of Man TT** (**Tourist Trophy**; sometimes **TT**) races are an annual [motorcycle racing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_racing "Motorcycle racing") event held on the [Isle of Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man "Isle of Man") in May and June of mostly every year since its inaugural race in [1907](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Isle_of_Man_TT "1907 Isle of Man TT"). The two-week event is sanctioned by the [Auto-Cycle Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Cycle_Union "Auto-Cycle Union"), which also organises the event through its commercial arm known as Auto-Cycle Union Events Ltd. The [Manx government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_Government "Isle of Man Government") owns the rights to and promotes the event.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-1)
The Isle of Man TT is a series of time-trial format races, run on public roads closed for racing. The event consists of one week of practice and qualifying sessions, followed by one week of racing. The closed public roads form the [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course "Isle of Man TT Mountain Course"), a 37.73-mile (60.72 km) route containing 219 turns that traverses through a mix of urban and rural areas.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-2) The event currently features 5 different classes of road racing, each competing in two races over the course of the racing week. Since the inaugural Isle of Man TT in 1907, the event has been held mostly every year since, with seasons being cancelled only due to war or disease outbreak. The TT has become part of the local culture and economy of the Isle of Man with more than 40,000 visitors annually traveling to the island for the event.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-3)
## History
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: History")\]

Motor racing began on the Isle of Man in 1904 with the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial, restricted to touring automobiles. The [Motor Car Act 1903](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Car_Act_1903 "Motor Car Act 1903") placed a speed restriction of 20 mph (32 km/h) on all automobiles in the UK, effectively restricting road racing activities. Julian Orde, Secretary of the Automobile Car Club of Britain and Ireland approached the authorities on the Isle of Man for the permission to race automobiles on the island's public roads.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-4) The Manx government agreed, and passed the Highways (Light Locomotive) Act. This gave permission for the 1904 Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial to take place on the Isle of Man around the 52.15-mile (83.93 km) [Highroads Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highroads_Course "Highroads Course"). The first year of the trial was won by Clifford Earl (Napier) in 7 hours 26.5 minutes, driving five laps of the [Highroads Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highroads_Course "Highroads Course") for a total of 255.5 mi or 411.2 km. The following year, the Gordon Bennett Trial was held again, on 30 May 1905 and was again won by Clifford Earl driving a Napier automobile, completing six laps in 6 hours and 6 minutes. In September 1905, the first Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Race for automobiles, now known as the [RAC Tourist Trophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAC_Tourist_Trophy "RAC Tourist Trophy") was held. This race was won by John Napier (Arrol-Johnston) in 6 hours and 9 minutes at an average speed of 33.90 mph (54.56 km/h).[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-5)
In 1905, it was decided to run an eliminating trial for motorcycles the day after the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial. This was to qualify a team to represent [Great Britain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain "Great Britain") in the International Motor-Cycle Cup Race held in [Austria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria "Austria"). The inability of the motorcycles to climb the steep Mountain Section of the course forced the organisers to use a smaller 25-mile (40 km) section of the Gordon Bennett Trial course that included less elevation. This ran from [Douglas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas,_Isle_of_Man "Douglas, Isle of Man") south to [Castletown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castletown,_Isle_of_Man "Castletown, Isle of Man") and then north to [Ballacraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballacraine "Ballacraine") along the primary [A3 road](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A3_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A3 road (Isle of Man)"), returning to the start at the [Quarterbridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterbridge,_Isle_of_Man "Quarterbridge, Isle of Man") in Douglas via [Crosby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosby,_Isle_of_Man "Crosby, Isle of Man") and Glen Vine along the current [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course") in the reverse direction. The 1905 International Motor-Cycle Cup Race consisted of five laps, and was won by J.S. Campbell (Ariel) despite a fire during a pit stop.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-6) Campbell completed the 125 mi (201 km) race distance in 4 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds at an average race speed of 30.04 mph (48.34 km/h).[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-7)
The 1906 International Motor-Cycle Cup race was plagued by accusations of cheating and fraudulence.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-8) Frustrated by the experience, the Secretary of the Auto-Cycle Club, Freddie Straight, brothers [Charlie Collier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Collier "Charlie Collier") and Harry Collier of [Matchless Motorcycles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchless "Matchless"), and the Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars (president of the FICM) had a conversation on the train journey home that led to a suggestion of a race the following year for road touring motorcycles based on the automobile races held on the Isle of Man.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9)
### Early history (1907–1948)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Early history (1907–1948)")\]
At the Annual Auto Cycle Club dinner party on 17 January 1907, the editor of Motorcycle Magazine formally proposed this new race for motorcycles on the Isle of Man.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10) This new race, named the Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy, was to take inspiration from the earlier motorcycle trial race that was held in 1905, running on a shorter course with less elevation than the mountain course used by automobiles. This shorter course, named the [St. John’s Short Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John%27s_Short_Course "St John's Short Course") formed a 15.85 mile triangular shape, and the race was set at 10 laps for a 158.5 mi (255 km) overall distance.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-11) Based on the touring oriented style racing at the time, two classes were established for the Auto Cycle Tourist Trophy based on number of cylinders and fuel economy. The first was a single cylinder class, with a [fuel economy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_automobiles "Fuel economy in automobiles") limit of 90 miles per gallon of fuel, and the second was a two cylinder class, with fuel economy limit of 75 miles per gallon of fuel throughout the race. The machines competing were mandated to be touring motorcycles equipped with saddles, pedals, mudguards, exhaust silencers, and a toolkit.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9)

The [first Isle of Man TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Isle_of_Man_TT "1907 Isle of Man TT") race was held on Tuesday 28 May 1907. Charles Collier won the single cylinder class riding a Matchless machine at an average speed of 38.22 mph. [Rem Fowler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rem_Fowler "Rem Fowler") won the two cylinder class riding a [Peugeot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot "Peugeot") engined [Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Motorcycle_Company "Norton Motorcycle Company") at an average speed of 36.22 mph.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) Of the 25 race entrants, only 12 finished the race.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9) Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy Races continued for the next four years on the St John's Short Course. For the [1908 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908_Isle_of_Man_TT "1908 Isle of Man TT"), the fuel consumption was raised to 100 mpg for single-cylinder machines and 80 mpg for twin-cylinder machines and the use of pedals was banned. The 1908 race was won by Jack Marshall on a [Triumph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles_Ltd "Triumph Motorcycles Ltd") motorcycle at an average speed of 40.49 mph (65.16 km/h).[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-13) In [1909](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909_Isle_of_Man_TT "1909 Isle of Man TT"), the fuel consumption regulations were abandoned along with the use of exhaust silencers. The single-cylinder machines were limited to a [capacity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement "Engine displacement") of 500cc and the twins to a 750cc engine capacity.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-14) Due to the concern over increasing lap-speed, the [1910 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1910_Isle_of_Man_TT "1910 Isle of Man TT") saw the capacity of the twin-cylinder machines reduced to 670cc. By 1910, the last year of the short course, the average speed had risen to 55.15 mph, achieved by Charlie Collier riding on a Matchless motorcycle.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-15)
Due to the ever increasing speeds and technical innovations seen in previous years competitions, the [1911 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Isle_of_Man_TT "1911 Isle of Man TT") was moved to the much longer and challenging [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course "Isle of Man TT Mountain Course"). At the time this course was 37.40 miles (60.19 km) long, with its layout differing slightly from the current mountain course. Similar to the short course of the previous years, much of the mountain course consisted of unpaved dusty tracks with loose rutted surfaces that created many obstacles for the riders to overcome.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:3-16) The two classes were changed and renamed as the [Senior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_TT "Senior TT") and [Junior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_TT "Junior TT") classes. The Senior class permitted single cylinder machines with engines displacing up to 500cc and two cylinder machines with engines up to 500cc. The Junior class permitted 300cc single cylinder and 340cc two cylinder motorcycles. Each class was run in their own separate race, instead of together as in previous years. The Senior race was five laps and the Junior race was four laps.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10) The steep gradients of the mountain course made the single gear machines of the past years obsolete, requiring manufacturers to develop some type of [transmission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_\(mechanical_device\) "Transmission (mechanical device)") to be competitive. American built [Indian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Motorcycle "Indian Motorcycle") motorcycles proved to be well suited to the mountain course and won the top three positions in the Senior TT race. Oliver Godfrey won the Senior class with an average speed of 47.63 mph. The 1911 TT recorded the first fatality at the motorcycle race with [Victor Surridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Surridge "Victor Surridge") dying from a crash during practice.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:3-16)
The Isle of Man TT continued in a similar format for the next three years. The [1912 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_Isle_of_Man_TT "1912 Isle of Man TT") was [boycotted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott "Boycott") due to protests from some Isle of Man residents regarding the safety of the event. Despite this the TT continued, albeit with a much reduced entry list. Additionally the classes were tweaked for 1912 with both single and two cylinder motorcycles being held to the same engine displacement, 500cc for the Senior, and 350cc for the Junior.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-17) The [1913 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_Isle_of_Man_TT "1913 Isle of Man TT") saw a large rebound in the number of entrants compared to the previous year. The race format was changed, now with two races per class. A six lap Junior race was split up into two races, a two lap event, and a four lap event. The seven lap Senior race was split up, starting with a three lap event, with another 4 lap race being run concurrently with the 4 lap Junior race.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-18) The [1914 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914_Isle_of_Man_TT "1914 Isle of Man TT") was the last to be held before the outbreak of [World War I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I "World War I"), motorcycle racing would not return to the Isle of Man until 1920.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10)

With sufficient entries to satisfy the ACU, the TT returned in [1920](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Isle_of_Man_TT "1920 Isle of Man TT") with multiple changes made to the event. The course was altered to its current 37.75 mile format, with the riders now starting at the top of [Bray Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bray_Hill "Bray Hill"). A new [Lightweight class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_TT "Lightweight TT") was added as part of the Junior race. This Lightweight class permitted motorcycles displacing up to 250cc.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-19) The first and second place winners of the 1920 Senior TT were the first to finish a TT with an average speed over 50 miles per hour.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-20) In the following [1921 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_Isle_of_Man_TT "1921 Isle of Man TT"), Howard Davies became the first and only rider to have ever won a Senior TT while riding a Junior TT machine.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-21) By [1922](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_Isle_of_Man_TT "1922 Isle of Man TT"), the Lightweight class had proved to be popular enough that it became its own five lap race, for a total of three separate races in the event.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-22) The [1923](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Isle_of_Man_TT "1923 Isle of Man TT") running of the TT saw [Stanley Woods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Woods "Stanley Woods") win his first TT in the Junior race.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:5-23) Another class change came in 1923 with the introduction of the [Sidecar class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar_TT "Sidecar TT") being run in its own three lap race. [Freddie Dixon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Dixon "Freddie Dixon") and Walter Perry won this inaugural sidecar race at an average speed of 53.15 miles per hour.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alec_Bennett_Isle_of_Man_TT_1927.jpg)

A new [Ultra-Lightweight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Lightweight_TT "Ultra-Lightweight TT") Class was added for the [1924 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Isle_of_Man_TT "1924 Isle of Man TT"), which permitted machines displacing up to 175cc, competing in their own race.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-24) The 1924 Lightweight TT was unique in that it was a "mass start" event in which the entire grid started at the same time. This is in contrary to the typical TT races in which the riders are started one by one with a set time interval. In [1925](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925_Isle_of_Man_TT "1925 Isle of Man TT") [Wal Handley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wal_Handley "Wal Handley") became the first rider ever to win two TT races in one week, taking first place in both the Junior and Ultra-Lightweight races.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-25) In [1926](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926_Isle_of_Man_TT "1926 Isle of Man TT") the ACU removed both the Sidecar and the Ultra-Lightweight classes due to a lack of entries.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-26) Additionally, there was pressure from the manufacturers to remove the sidecar class due to their feelings that racing was not the best way to promote sidecar sales.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:5-23) This left only the Senior, Junior and Lightweight classes, each running in their own seven lap race. The 1926 TT also produced the first ever 70 mile per hour lap, set by [Jimmy Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Simpson_\(motorcyclist\) "Jimmy Simpson (motorcyclist)") who had also set the first 60 mile per hour lap average.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) Throughout the 1920s road conditions the Mountain Course gradually improved, and by the end of the decade almost the entire mountain section was paved. The improved course, combined with motorcycle development saw lap records consistently broken during this period.
From the first Isle of Man TT in 1907 all the way through 1927, practice occurred with the roads open. Therefore, riders had to avoid pedestrians and vehicles that were going about their daily business. During a practice session for the [1927 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Isle_of_Man_TT "1927 Isle of Man TT"), rider [Archie Birkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Birkin "Archie Birkin") swerved to dodge a fish van on the road and ended up hitting a wall. He died from his injuries, and this incident prompted the ACU to close roads for practice every year thereafter.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-27)

The popularity of the TT had been building throughout the 1920s and by 1930, portions of the Senior TT were broadcast by [BBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "BBC") for the first time. The increase in popularity brought an increase in the prize money, which in turn attracted more participants. The [1930 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_Isle_of_Man_TT "1930 Isle of Man TT") saw entrants from 19 different countries, cementing the Isle of Man TT as a significant international motorcycle racing event.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:6-28) This is further proved by the [1931 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1931_Isle_of_Man_TT "1931 Isle of Man TT"), in which 153 machines of 22 different makes entered, including eight foreign factory teams. Jimmy Simpson again raised the bar in the 1931 Senior TT and set the first 80 mile per hour lap record. Despite being the first rider to set 60, 70, and 80 mile per hour laps, Jimmy Simpson had still not won a TT by 1931.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-29) In the face of mounting international factory competition, British built bikes remained the most competitive over the first half of the 1930’s. The two most dominant British makes at the time were [Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Motorcycle_Company "Norton Motorcycle Company") and [Rudge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudge-Whitworth "Rudge-Whitworth") and their battles to be the fastest at the TT bred significant innovations in their race bikes such as [overhead camshafts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_camshaft_engine "Overhead camshaft engine") and [multi-valve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve "Multi-valve") heads.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:6-28) The British dominance would come to an end in [1935](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1935_Isle_of_Man_TT "1935 Isle of Man TT") when experienced rider Standley Woods switched to [Moto Guzzi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_Guzzi "Moto Guzzi") motorcycles. He went on to win both the Senior and the Lightweight races, setting a new course record in the process.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-30)

To remain competitive, British manufacturers such as Norton and [Velocette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocette "Velocette"), chose to focus on the handling of their single cylinder motorcycles. With more advanced suspension systems front and rear, the singles remained in the fight and in 1938, [Harold Daniell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Daniell "Harold Daniell") riding a Norton, set the first ever average race speed above 90 miles per hour. This record of 91 mph over seven laps of the Mountain course would stand for 12 years until being broken after [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"). The [1938 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_Isle_of_Man_TT "1938 Isle of Man TT") was also the first to have a German made motorcycle win a race, with a [two-stroke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine "Two-stroke engine") [DKW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKW "DKW") winning the Lightweight TT.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-31) The German manufacturers returned in force for the 1939 race with [BMW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Motorrad "BMW Motorrad"), [NSU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSU_Motorenwerke "NSU Motorenwerke") and DKW fielding factory machines. The [supercharged](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger "Supercharger") BMW twin would go on to win the Senior TT, ridden by [Georg Meier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Meier "Georg Meier"). The [1939 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Isle_of_Man_TT "1939 Isle of Man TT") was the last to be held before the outbreak of World War II.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-32)
The Isle of Man TT returned for the first time after World War II in [1947](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Isle_of_Man_TT "1947 Isle of Man TT"). Based on the performance of the BMWs in the 1939 Senior TT, superchargers were banned from the race. Introduced was a new Clubman’s set of classes which allowed essentially standard road going motorcycles to compete, so long as they were fitted with lights and kick starter. The Clubman's classes mirrored the existing classes, with a Clubman's Lightweight, Clubman's Junior, and Clubman's Senior class all competing in their own races.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-33) The riders were little-known, but as the stars were barred from entering the class, it provided a stepping-stone for future-stars. Like the early Lightweight TT races, the Clubman's races were "mass start" events. The Senior TT remained the ultimate race of the weekend and Harold Daniel, riding a Norton, went on to repeat his success of 1938 taking first place. Due to the much lower quality of petrol after the war, his fastest lap was only 84.07 mph, significantly slower than nine years prior.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) By [1948](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Isle_of_Man_TT "1948 Isle of Man TT") running, the TT had firmly recovered from the post war slump with over 100 entrants across the four classes.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-34)
### Grand Prix World Championship (1949–1976)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: Grand Prix World Championship (1949–1976)")\]
The Isle of Man TT became part of the [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") [Motor-cycle Grand Prix World Championship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing "Grand Prix motorcycle racing") (now [MotoGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MotoGP "MotoGP")) as the British round of the World Motor-Cycling Championship during the period [1949](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949_Isle_of_Man_TT "1949 Isle of Man TT")–[1976](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Isle_of_Man_TT "1976 Isle of Man TT"). During this period the Isle of Man TT races included the [Sidecar TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar_TT "Sidecar TT"), 50 cc Ultra-Lightweight TT, 125 cc Lightweight TT, 250 cc Lightweight TT, 350 cc Junior TT and 500 cc Senior TT races counted towards the FIM Motor-Cycle Grand Prix World Championship.
The Clubman races with Lightweight, Junior and Senior classes were held for production motorcycles from [1947](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Isle_of_Man_TT "1947 Isle of Man TT") until [1956](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Isle_of_Man_TT "1956 Isle of Man TT").[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-35) A Senior 1000 cc class provided an opportunity for [Vincent motorcycles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Motorcycles "Vincent Motorcycles").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-36) The series became dominated by one model – the [BSA Gold Star](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_Gold_Star "BSA Gold Star"),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recce-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-38)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-39) and with little competition from other manufacturers, was discontinued. When previewing the impending re-introduction of a specification-controlled, roadster-based class in March 1967, *David Dixon* wrote: "*lack of inter-make rivalry probably put the final nail in the coffin*".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recce-37)
Writing in UK monthly magazine *Motor Cyclist Illustrated*, racing journalist Ray Knight, who had achieved a lap speed of nearly 88 mph on a [Triumph Tiger 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Tiger_100 "Triumph Tiger 100") [roadster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_motorcycle "Standard motorcycle")\-based racing motorcycle in the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"),[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-40)[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-41)[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-42) commented in early 1965 that the [ACU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Cycle_Union "Auto-Cycle Union") had refused a request from manufacturers to run a production TT race, which he thought was a missed opportunity, particularly considering the dwindling support for the 500 cc race.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-43)
[Beryl Swain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_Swain "Beryl Swain") became the first woman to compete in a TT race for solo motorcycles when she competed in the Isle of Man TT in 1962.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Beryl:0-44) There was subsequently a ban on women in the race from 1962 until [Hilary Musson](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hilary_Musson&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hilary Musson (page does not exist)") competed in 1978.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-45)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-46)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-47)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-48)
Following safety concerns with the [Snaefell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell "Snaefell") Mountain Course and problems over inadequate "start-money" for competitors, there was a boycott of the Isle of Man TT races from the early 1970s by many of the leading competitors, motorcycle manufacturers and national motorcycle sporting federations.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-49) After the 1972 races, multiple world champion, 10-time TT race winner and dominant motorcycle racer of his time [Giacomo Agostini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giacomo_Agostini "Giacomo Agostini") announced he would never race again at the Isle of Man, declaring it too dangerous for international competition and that it was outrageous that such a race should ever be part of a scenario professional riders were forced into; at this point the Isle of Man TT was not suited to the growing professionalism and business aspects of Grand Prix motorcycle racing. More and more riders joined his boycott, and after 1976, the Isle of Man TT lost its world championship status; this was transferred to the United Kingdom by the [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") and run as the [British Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_motorcycle_Grand_Prix "British motorcycle Grand Prix") for the [1977 season](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing_season "1977 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season").
### Formula TT (1977–1990)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Formula TT (1977–1990)")\]
The Isle of Man TT Races then became an integral part of the new style [TT Formula 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_TT "Formula TT"), Formula 2, and Formula 3 World Championships between 1977 and 1990 to develop and maintain the international racing status of the Isle of Man TT races.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-50)
### Modern era (1991–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: Modern era (1991–present)")\]

The event was redeveloped by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism as the *Isle of Man TT Festival* from 1989 onwards. This included new racing events for the new Isle of Man TT Festival programme, including the Pre-TT Classic Races in 1989 followed by the Post-TT Races from 1991, both held on the [Billown Circuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billown_Circuit "Billown Circuit"). In 2013, the Isle of Man *Classic TT* was developed by the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development and the Auto-Cycle Union for historic racing motorcycles, and along with the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), it formed part of the 'Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling' held in late August of each year. The Classic TT brand ceased operation prior to the 2022 event, with classes for historic racing motorcycles integrated into the Manx Grand Prix. The TT is now promoted by the Isle of Man Government Department for Enterprise.
The 2001 Isle of Man TT races were cancelled because of the [outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_United_Kingdom_foot-and-mouth_outbreak "2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak") in the spring and summer of 2001. Disinfecting 40,000 spectators and competitors (and their motorcycles) to ensure the disease was kept off the island proved difficult.
There has been criticism of the event. In 2007, an incident during the Senior Race resulted in the deaths of a rider and two spectators.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-51) The resultant inquest made several recommendations and included several comments, such as: 'Senior Marshals may well have been elevated beyond the sphere of their competence'.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-52) The coroner also noted that "I am more than aware of the fact that the witnesses from the Manx Motor Cycle Club and the marshals are all volunteers. They give their time freely and without paid reward. Having said that however, if it were suggested because they were volunteers there should be some allowance in the standards expected of them, then I regret I cannot agree."[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-53)
The TT Zero was a one lap race for electric bikes running from 2010 to 2019. It was announced that the race would take a two-year break after 2019, but it never came back on the schedule since.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-54)
In March 2020, the Isle of Man Government announced the cancellation of the 2020 TT due to the ongoing [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-55) The Classic TT was subsequently cancelled in May,[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-56) and in December 2020, it was announced that 2021's TT races would also not go ahead, due to the continued worldwide spread of the virus.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-57) In 2020, the Isle of Man Government lost an estimated £4.8 million of its annual projected revenue due to the cancellation of the TT races.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-58)
The event returned in 2022 after a two-year absence.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-59)
## Event format
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Event format")\]
The Isle of Man TT typically begins on the [Spring Bank Holiday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_the_United_Kingdom "Public holidays in the United Kingdom") which falls on the last Monday of May and runs for 13 days into the beginning of June. The first 5 days of the event are known as qualifying week and consist of several practice and qualifying sessions for the different classes. Races begin on the weekend after qualifying and run through the following week.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-60) There are typically one or two rest days in the middle of race week. The rest days are held as contingency days in the schedule in the case of poor weather disrupting the earlier qualifying or racing sessions.
### Eligibility
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: Eligibility")\]
To be eligible to race in the Isle of Man TT, competitors must hold a National or International race licence and have recent, relevant experience in motorcycle racing events. Newcomers to the TT are assessed on a case by case basis with officials looking at their track record in competitive racing. Entrants must be able to demonstrate that they have been competitive in other recognized road race events, by having scored points or placing within the top six finishers. A common stepping stone into the Isle of man TT is the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), which is an amateur version of the TT held in the late summer.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-61)
Entrants are accepted in an order of priority based on the riders finishing position in the previous year's TT, and then the riders fastest lap speed in any previous TT. Up to 15 newcomers are allowed per race. For the Superbike and Superstock classes, entries are limited to a maximum of 72 starters. The Supersport, Supertwin, and Sidecar classes are limited to a maximum of 78 starters.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:7-62) One driving factor to the limit on the number of starters is the start procedure which spaces out each competitor by 10 seconds. With 78 starters, it takes 13 minutes for every competitor to have set off. With a single lap taking around 17 minutes to complete, that leaves only 4 minutes for the start gate and personnel to leave the start finish line before the first riders return.
### Qualifying
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=8 "Edit section: Qualifying")\]
There are several qualifying sessions throughout the first week of the Isle of Man TT. The qualifying sessions group several classes together, with Superbike, Superstock and Supersport commonly all running in the same session. The Sidecar class always runs in its own dedicated session. Newcomers are given priority during qualifying, and are allowed to participate in the majority of sessions regardless of their class. This is to ensure that newcomers can gain as much exposure to the track prior to the races.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
To qualify for a race, an entrant's qualifying time must be within a certain percentage of the time set by the third fastest qualifier in the class. For the solo races, it is within 112% of the third fastest qualifier. For the sidecar race, it is within 120% of the third fastest qualifying time. The qualifying results are based on any of the times set in any of the sessions before the close of qualifying.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
### Races
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=9 "Edit section: Races")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Start_Senior_TT_2010_IMG_P0001185.jpg)
Competitors line up at the start of the [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Isle_of_Man_TT "2010 Isle of Man TT") [Senior TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_TT "Senior TT") race
There are two races held per class throughout the second week of the TT. The format of the race is a [time trial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_trial "Time trial"), where in order to win, the rider must complete the race in the least amount of time. Therefore, the track position in which the riders finish the race is irrelevant. Race competitors are started in ten second intervals, ensuring that each rider is able to focus on the track instead of passing one another.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) That being said, it is common for riders to encounter each other on the track as the race progresses, and riders may end up having to overtake each other during the race. The number of laps per race varies depending on the class:
| Class | Number of laps | Total distance |
|---|---|---|
| Superbike / Senior | 6 | 226\.38 mi (364.32 km)[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-65) |
| Supersport | 4 | 150\.09 mi (241.55 km)[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-66) |
| Superstock | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-67) |
| Supertwin | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-68) |
| Sidecar | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-69) |
The Senior race is typically the last race held and is considered the most important of the TT. The Senior race is unique because is it not limited to machines conforming to the Superbike class rules. Riders are permitted to change machine to any other eligible machine on which the rider has qualified to race or has raced during the meeting.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) It is not uncommon for riders to enter the Senior TT riding on their Superstock class machines. In some cases, the Superstock class machines can be faster than the Superbike class, despite their less extensive performance modifications. The current lap record on the Mountain Course was set by [Peter Hickman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hickman "Peter Hickman") during a Superstock race.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:10-70)
In the case of inclement weather, races may be postponed to later in the day, or later in the week. If the schedule necessitates, the number of laps per race may be reduced to fit them in the remaining schedule.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:10-70)
#### Pit stops
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=10 "Edit section: Pit stops")\]
Most races will require a [pit stop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_stop "Pit stop") at some point to refuel. Typically, TT motorcycles can complete two laps before needing to refuel. The Superbike class machines will also have the rear tyre changed during one of their pit stops. Fuel is gravity fed to the motorcycles from elevated tanks and can take up to a minute for a full refill during a stop. In the meantime, the rider is able to clean their helmet visor, drink water, and receive information from the pit crew regarding their performance.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-71)
## Race classes
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=11 "Edit section: Race classes")\]
The racing classes that compete at the Isle of Man TT are broadly similar to the standard FIM race classes with additional TT-specific regulations.
### Superbike TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Superbike TT (2005–present)")\]
The superbike class represents the highest performance motorcycles that compete at the Isle of Man TT. These machines must appear on the FIM homologated motorcycles list. Commonly these machines are 1,000 cc four-cylinder sport bikes that have been heavily modified for racing purposes. General specifications are as follows:
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–4 | 750 – 1,000 cc | 250 hp | 165 kg (364 lbs) |
| 2 | 850 – 1,200 cc | | |
Other machines may be admitted at the discretion of the organisers.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
### Supersport TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Supersport TT (2005–present)")\]
The supersport class can be considered the modern incarnation of the Junior TT class. Supersport motorcycles are more limited in the amount and types of modifications they can make. Specifications are based on the FIM Supersport Championship.
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 400 – 600 cc | 130 hp | 161 kg (355 lbs)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:7-62) |
| 3 | 600 – 890 cc | | |
| 2 | 600 – 955 cc | | |
### Superstock TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=14 "Edit section: Superstock TT (2005–present)")\]
Main article: [Superstock TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstock_TT "Superstock TT")
Superstock TT utilizes similar machines to the Superbike class, but severely limits modification. Motorcycles in this class compete on treaded road tyres. Specifications are based on the FIM Superstock Championship.
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–4 | 750 – 1,000 cc | 220 hp | 170 kg (375 lbs)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) |
| 2 | 850 – 1,200 cc | | |
### Supertwin TT (2022–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=15 "Edit section: Supertwin TT (2022–present)")\]
2022 saw the introduction of the supertwin race run over 3 laps, increased to 4 laps the following year. The class is very similar to the lightweight class which last ran in 2019, although with some differences. The maximum capacity has been increased to 700 cc allowing the Yamaha YZF-R7 and Aprilia RS660 to compete. In 2022 bikes with capacities of 651 cc+ were required to run 10 kg heavier than the 150 kg limit for the 650 cc machines, but 2023 saw this changed and all bikes in the class now have a minimum weight of 150 kg.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-72)
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 600 – 700 cc | 105 hp | 150 kg (331 lbs) |
### Sidecar TT
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=16 "Edit section: Sidecar TT")\]
Main article: [Sidecar TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar_TT "Sidecar TT")
The [1923 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Isle_of_Man_TT "1923 Isle of Man TT") was the first time the Sidecar TT race was run, over three laps (113 mi or 182 km) of the [Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course") and was won by [Freddie Dixon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Dixon "Freddie Dixon") and passenger Walter Denny with a [Douglas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_\(motorcycles\) "Douglas (motorcycles)") and special *banking-sidecar* at an average race speed of 53.15 mph (85.54 km/h). For the [1926 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926_Isle_of_Man_TT "1926 Isle of Man TT") the Sidecar and [Ultra-Lightweight TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Lightweight_TT "Ultra-Lightweight TT") classes were dropped due to lack of entries.

Sidecar TT race competitors line up to start the race
The Sidecar race was re-introduced from the [1954 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Isle_of_Man_TT "1954 Isle of Man TT") for Sidecars not exceeding 500 cc engine capacity, run on the [Clypse Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clypse_Course "Clypse Course"). A non-championship 750 cc class for sidecars was introduced at the [1968 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Isle_of_Man_TT "1968 Isle of Man TT"). For the [1976 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Isle_of_Man_TT "1976 Isle of Man TT") the race was held over two-legs. From 1975, the previous 500 cc and 750 cc classes for Sidecars were replaced by a 1,000 cc engine capacity class. The new [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") Formula 2 class for Sidecars was introduced for the 1990 Isle of Man TT.

### Official vehicles
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=19 "Edit section: Official vehicles")\]
After the completion of a practice or race period, an official course vehicle displaying the notice *Roads Open* proceeds around the Mountain Course, passing each point opening the roads including side-access junctions to public use. On the [Snaefell mountain road](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_mountain_road "Snaefell mountain road") section from Ramsey to Douglas, the official vehicle displays the notice *Roads Open One Way.*
### Travelling marshals
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=20 "Edit section: Travelling marshals")\]

Originally introduced in 1935, there are eight machines positioned around the course to provide a rapid response to any incidents. Selected riders have previous race experience and are first-aid trained, with machines carrying medical equipment that can assist in managing a casualty. They also have other duties such as course inspection, observation of machines on the course for visible faults, and review and report any course incidents.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-74) Until 2024, all travelling marshals rode [Honda CBR1000RR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR1000RR "Honda CBR1000RR") Fireblades.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-75) From 2025, BMW Motorrad announced a 3-year deal with the Isle of Man TT to supply a mixture of [S1000RR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_S1000RR "BMW S1000RR") and M1000RR machinery.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-76)
### Course crossings
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=21 "Edit section: Course crossings")\]
The 1982 Road Racing Act (Isle of Man) and the supplementary TT Road Races Orders allow vehicles and pedestrians to cross the Snaefell Mountain Course at certain points between scheduled race periods under the supervision of a police officer.

[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steam_Heritage_Trail_Isle_of_Man_Geograph_2112551.jpg)
Part of the access road passing under the A1 Peel Road
The TT Access Road runs parallel to a section of the [A1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A1_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A1 road (Isle of Man)") Peel Road, which is part of the [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course"), and operates during practice and race periods to enable vehicles to pass from inside of the race course to the outside. It runs along a section of former railway line on the historic Douglas to [Peel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel,_Isle_of_Man "Peel, Isle of Man") route, from the junction of the [A5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A5_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A5 road (Isle of Man)") *New Castletown Road* at the [Quarter Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterbridge,_Isle_of_Man "Quarterbridge, Isle of Man"), passing under the course at [Braddan Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braddan_Bridge "Braddan Bridge"), to an exit at Braddan School Road in Douglas outskirts, near the former [Braddan Railway Halt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braddan_Bridge#Railway_halt "Braddan Bridge") and the [A23](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A23_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A23 road (Isle of Man)")/Ballafletcher Road junction. The access road is a narrow, [single-track width](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-track_road "Single-track road") with passing places and is restricted to cars and light vans below a weight limit of 3,500 kilograms (3.4 long tons; 3.9 short tons). When used for vehicular traffic, pedestrian access is prohibited, but at other times it is part of a system of [nature trails](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail "Trail").[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-77)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-78)
## Incidents and controversies
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=25 "Edit section: Incidents and controversies")\]
Main article: [Isle of Man TT Mountain Course § Safety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course#Safety "Isle of Man TT Mountain Course")
See also: [List of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course fatalities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course_fatalities "List of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course fatalities")
Between 1907 and 2023, there have been 156 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and 269 total fatalities (this number includes the riders killed during the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s).[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-times-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-80)[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-course-81) In 2016, 5 riders died on the course during official practices or races.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-backus-82)[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-five-83)[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-tragedy-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recap-85) There were six fatalities among competitors in the [1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Isle_of_Man_TT "1970 Isle of Man TT") and [2022](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Isle_of_Man_TT "2022 Isle of Man TT") Isle of Man TTs, making them the two deadliest years in the history of the event.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-86)[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-87)[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-88)
### 2018 Course Car incident
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=26 "Edit section: 2018 Course Car incident")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sarah%27s_Cottage_2009_uphill.JPG)
Sidecars returning to [Paddock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Grandstand "TT Grandstand") past [Sarah's Cottage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah%27s_Cottage,_Isle_of_Man "Sarah's Cottage, Isle of Man") in reverse direction to a normal race after a red flag caused by a competitor's crash in [2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Isle_of_Man_TT "2009 Isle of Man TT")
On 30 May 2018, an experienced TT rider, [Steve Mercer](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Mercer&action=edit&redlink=1 "Steve Mercer (page does not exist)"),[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-89)[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Autosp-90) was seriously injured during a head-on collision with an official Course Car at [Ballacrye](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballacrye_Corner "Ballacrye Corner"). The car, being driven at high speed,[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92) was conveying police officers to officiate at the scene of a fatality involving [Dan Kneen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Kneen "Dan Kneen"). Mercer was unconscious for five days and hospitalised for five months due to multiple injuries. He was one of seven riders who had been halted on the course and turned back by marshals, being instructed to proceed back to the [TT Grandstand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Grandstand "TT Grandstand") area in the reverse direction after the [red flag stoppage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_flags#Red_flag "Racing flags").[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-bikesportnews_June_2019-94) Immediately after the accident the organisers changed their protocols, requiring that returning riders must be controlled by motorcycle-mounted [travelling marshals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#Travelling_Marshals) to the front and rear.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-95)[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-96) An independent inquiry into the circumstances was arranged by ACU Events, the event organisers.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-97)
The [Auto-Cycle Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Cycle_Union "Auto-Cycle Union"), the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise, and the inquiry report author, lawyer Rob Jones, a former chief executive of the [Motor Sports Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorsport_UK "Motorsport UK"), all refused to release the report as it was confidential and privately owned by the ACU.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-bikesportnews_June_2019-94)[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-98)[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-99)
The ACU admitted liability for the accident, but instructed that any legal claim for compensation by Mercer must be filed in the Isle of Man. The ACU stated that Mercer was receiving financial assistance through its "extensive insurance arrangements".[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Autosp-90)[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-100)[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-101)
In 2019, it was reported that the driver of the car in the collision had quit after criticism that he exceeded a newly introduced speed limit recorded by a [GPS tracking device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_tracking_device "GPS tracking device") when he drove to attend a fatality involving Chris Swallow at [Ballaugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballaugh "Ballaugh") in August's Senior Classic TT. Gary Thompson, Clerk of the Course and an ACU employee, had been criticised in 2018 for also fulfilling the role of Safety Officer; consequently a new incumbent was in place for 2019.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92)[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-102)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-103)

There have been numerous video games based on the Isle of Man TT; the first was the 1995 [Sega](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega "Sega") arcade game [Manx TT Super Bike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_TT_Super_Bike "Manx TT Super Bike"), which was later ported to the [Sega Saturn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Saturn "Sega Saturn") in 1997.[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-134) Several other games have followed since, including [Suzuki TT Superbikes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_TT_Superbikes "Suzuki TT Superbikes") (2005), TT Superbikes: Real Road Racing Championship and TT Superbikes Legends (both 2008), all of which were released exclusively for the [PlayStation 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2 "PlayStation 2"), and developed by [Jester Interactive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester_Interactive "Jester Interactive").
[Bigben Interactive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacon "Nacon") has since revived the TT game license, releasing TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge in 2018 and two sequels in 2020 and 2023.[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-135)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-136)[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-137)
## Connected events
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=39 "Edit section: Connected events")\]
The Ramsey Sprint has been run since 1978 and is one of the biggest events during the TT race festival. The Sprint is run along the 1 km long Mooragh Promenade. The music festival Sprintfest is also held in the same town, Ramsey, on the weekend between practice week and race week.

The Isle of Man TT is a series of time-trial format races, run on public roads closed for racing. The event consists of one week of practice and qualifying sessions, followed by one week of racing. The closed public roads form the [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course "Isle of Man TT Mountain Course"), a 37.73-mile (60.72 km) route containing 219 turns that traverses through a mix of urban and rural areas.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-2) The event currently features 5 different classes of road racing, each competing in two races over the course of the racing week. Since the inaugural Isle of Man TT in 1907, the event has been held mostly every year since, with seasons being cancelled only due to war or disease outbreak. The TT has become part of the local culture and economy of the Isle of Man with more than 40,000 visitors annually traveling to the island for the event.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-3)

Motor racing began on the Isle of Man in 1904 with the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial, restricted to touring automobiles. The [Motor Car Act 1903](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Car_Act_1903 "Motor Car Act 1903") placed a speed restriction of 20 mph (32 km/h) on all automobiles in the UK, effectively restricting road racing activities. Julian Orde, Secretary of the Automobile Car Club of Britain and Ireland approached the authorities on the Isle of Man for the permission to race automobiles on the island's public roads.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-4) The Manx government agreed, and passed the Highways (Light Locomotive) Act. This gave permission for the 1904 Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial to take place on the Isle of Man around the 52.15-mile (83.93 km) [Highroads Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highroads_Course "Highroads Course"). The first year of the trial was won by Clifford Earl (Napier) in 7 hours 26.5 minutes, driving five laps of the [Highroads Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highroads_Course "Highroads Course") for a total of 255.5 mi or 411.2 km. The following year, the Gordon Bennett Trial was held again, on 30 May 1905 and was again won by Clifford Earl driving a Napier automobile, completing six laps in 6 hours and 6 minutes. In September 1905, the first Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Race for automobiles, now known as the [RAC Tourist Trophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAC_Tourist_Trophy "RAC Tourist Trophy") was held. This race was won by John Napier (Arrol-Johnston) in 6 hours and 9 minutes at an average speed of 33.90 mph (54.56 km/h).[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-5)
In 1905, it was decided to run an eliminating trial for motorcycles the day after the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trial. This was to qualify a team to represent [Great Britain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain "Great Britain") in the International Motor-Cycle Cup Race held in [Austria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria "Austria"). The inability of the motorcycles to climb the steep Mountain Section of the course forced the organisers to use a smaller 25-mile (40 km) section of the Gordon Bennett Trial course that included less elevation. This ran from [Douglas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas,_Isle_of_Man "Douglas, Isle of Man") south to [Castletown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castletown,_Isle_of_Man "Castletown, Isle of Man") and then north to [Ballacraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballacraine "Ballacraine") along the primary [A3 road](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A3_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A3 road (Isle of Man)"), returning to the start at the [Quarterbridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterbridge,_Isle_of_Man "Quarterbridge, Isle of Man") in Douglas via [Crosby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosby,_Isle_of_Man "Crosby, Isle of Man") and Glen Vine along the current [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course") in the reverse direction. The 1905 International Motor-Cycle Cup Race consisted of five laps, and was won by J.S. Campbell (Ariel) despite a fire during a pit stop.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-6) Campbell completed the 125 mi (201 km) race distance in 4 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds at an average race speed of 30.04 mph (48.34 km/h).[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-7)
The 1906 International Motor-Cycle Cup race was plagued by accusations of cheating and fraudulence.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-8) Frustrated by the experience, the Secretary of the Auto-Cycle Club, Freddie Straight, brothers [Charlie Collier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Collier "Charlie Collier") and Harry Collier of [Matchless Motorcycles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchless "Matchless"), and the Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars (president of the FICM) had a conversation on the train journey home that led to a suggestion of a race the following year for road touring motorcycles based on the automobile races held on the Isle of Man.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9)
### Early history (1907–1948)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Early history (1907–1948)")\]
At the Annual Auto Cycle Club dinner party on 17 January 1907, the editor of Motorcycle Magazine formally proposed this new race for motorcycles on the Isle of Man.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10) This new race, named the Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy, was to take inspiration from the earlier motorcycle trial race that was held in 1905, running on a shorter course with less elevation than the mountain course used by automobiles. This shorter course, named the [St. John’s Short Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John%27s_Short_Course "St John's Short Course") formed a 15.85 mile triangular shape, and the race was set at 10 laps for a 158.5 mi (255 km) overall distance.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-11) Based on the touring oriented style racing at the time, two classes were established for the Auto Cycle Tourist Trophy based on number of cylinders and fuel economy. The first was a single cylinder class, with a [fuel economy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_automobiles "Fuel economy in automobiles") limit of 90 miles per gallon of fuel, and the second was a two cylinder class, with fuel economy limit of 75 miles per gallon of fuel throughout the race. The machines competing were mandated to be touring motorcycles equipped with saddles, pedals, mudguards, exhaust silencers, and a toolkit.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9)

The [first Isle of Man TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Isle_of_Man_TT "1907 Isle of Man TT") race was held on Tuesday 28 May 1907. Charles Collier won the single cylinder class riding a Matchless machine at an average speed of 38.22 mph. [Rem Fowler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rem_Fowler "Rem Fowler") won the two cylinder class riding a [Peugeot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot "Peugeot") engined [Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Motorcycle_Company "Norton Motorcycle Company") at an average speed of 36.22 mph.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) Of the 25 race entrants, only 12 finished the race.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:1-9) Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy Races continued for the next four years on the St John's Short Course. For the [1908 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908_Isle_of_Man_TT "1908 Isle of Man TT"), the fuel consumption was raised to 100 mpg for single-cylinder machines and 80 mpg for twin-cylinder machines and the use of pedals was banned. The 1908 race was won by Jack Marshall on a [Triumph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles_Ltd "Triumph Motorcycles Ltd") motorcycle at an average speed of 40.49 mph (65.16 km/h).[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-13) In [1909](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909_Isle_of_Man_TT "1909 Isle of Man TT"), the fuel consumption regulations were abandoned along with the use of exhaust silencers. The single-cylinder machines were limited to a [capacity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement "Engine displacement") of 500cc and the twins to a 750cc engine capacity.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-14) Due to the concern over increasing lap-speed, the [1910 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1910_Isle_of_Man_TT "1910 Isle of Man TT") saw the capacity of the twin-cylinder machines reduced to 670cc. By 1910, the last year of the short course, the average speed had risen to 55.15 mph, achieved by Charlie Collier riding on a Matchless motorcycle.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-15)
Due to the ever increasing speeds and technical innovations seen in previous years competitions, the [1911 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Isle_of_Man_TT "1911 Isle of Man TT") was moved to the much longer and challenging [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course "Isle of Man TT Mountain Course"). At the time this course was 37.40 miles (60.19 km) long, with its layout differing slightly from the current mountain course. Similar to the short course of the previous years, much of the mountain course consisted of unpaved dusty tracks with loose rutted surfaces that created many obstacles for the riders to overcome.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:3-16) The two classes were changed and renamed as the [Senior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_TT "Senior TT") and [Junior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_TT "Junior TT") classes. The Senior class permitted single cylinder machines with engines displacing up to 500cc and two cylinder machines with engines up to 500cc. The Junior class permitted 300cc single cylinder and 340cc two cylinder motorcycles. Each class was run in their own separate race, instead of together as in previous years. The Senior race was five laps and the Junior race was four laps.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10) The steep gradients of the mountain course made the single gear machines of the past years obsolete, requiring manufacturers to develop some type of [transmission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_\(mechanical_device\) "Transmission (mechanical device)") to be competitive. American built [Indian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Motorcycle "Indian Motorcycle") motorcycles proved to be well suited to the mountain course and won the top three positions in the Senior TT race. Oliver Godfrey won the Senior class with an average speed of 47.63 mph. The 1911 TT recorded the first fatality at the motorcycle race with [Victor Surridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Surridge "Victor Surridge") dying from a crash during practice.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:3-16)
The Isle of Man TT continued in a similar format for the next three years. The [1912 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_Isle_of_Man_TT "1912 Isle of Man TT") was [boycotted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott "Boycott") due to protests from some Isle of Man residents regarding the safety of the event. Despite this the TT continued, albeit with a much reduced entry list. Additionally the classes were tweaked for 1912 with both single and two cylinder motorcycles being held to the same engine displacement, 500cc for the Senior, and 350cc for the Junior.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-17) The [1913 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_Isle_of_Man_TT "1913 Isle of Man TT") saw a large rebound in the number of entrants compared to the previous year. The race format was changed, now with two races per class. A six lap Junior race was split up into two races, a two lap event, and a four lap event. The seven lap Senior race was split up, starting with a three lap event, with another 4 lap race being run concurrently with the 4 lap Junior race.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-18) The [1914 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914_Isle_of_Man_TT "1914 Isle of Man TT") was the last to be held before the outbreak of [World War I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I "World War I"), motorcycle racing would not return to the Isle of Man until 1920.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:2-10)

With sufficient entries to satisfy the ACU, the TT returned in [1920](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Isle_of_Man_TT "1920 Isle of Man TT") with multiple changes made to the event. The course was altered to its current 37.75 mile format, with the riders now starting at the top of [Bray Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bray_Hill "Bray Hill"). A new [Lightweight class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_TT "Lightweight TT") was added as part of the Junior race. This Lightweight class permitted motorcycles displacing up to 250cc.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-19) The first and second place winners of the 1920 Senior TT were the first to finish a TT with an average speed over 50 miles per hour.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-20) In the following [1921 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_Isle_of_Man_TT "1921 Isle of Man TT"), Howard Davies became the first and only rider to have ever won a Senior TT while riding a Junior TT machine.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-21) By [1922](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_Isle_of_Man_TT "1922 Isle of Man TT"), the Lightweight class had proved to be popular enough that it became its own five lap race, for a total of three separate races in the event.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-22) The [1923](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Isle_of_Man_TT "1923 Isle of Man TT") running of the TT saw [Stanley Woods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Woods "Stanley Woods") win his first TT in the Junior race.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:5-23) Another class change came in 1923 with the introduction of the [Sidecar class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar_TT "Sidecar TT") being run in its own three lap race. [Freddie Dixon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Dixon "Freddie Dixon") and Walter Perry won this inaugural sidecar race at an average speed of 53.15 miles per hour.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12)

A new [Ultra-Lightweight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Lightweight_TT "Ultra-Lightweight TT") Class was added for the [1924 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Isle_of_Man_TT "1924 Isle of Man TT"), which permitted machines displacing up to 175cc, competing in their own race.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-24) The 1924 Lightweight TT was unique in that it was a "mass start" event in which the entire grid started at the same time. This is in contrary to the typical TT races in which the riders are started one by one with a set time interval. In [1925](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925_Isle_of_Man_TT "1925 Isle of Man TT") [Wal Handley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wal_Handley "Wal Handley") became the first rider ever to win two TT races in one week, taking first place in both the Junior and Ultra-Lightweight races.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-25) In [1926](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926_Isle_of_Man_TT "1926 Isle of Man TT") the ACU removed both the Sidecar and the Ultra-Lightweight classes due to a lack of entries.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-26) Additionally, there was pressure from the manufacturers to remove the sidecar class due to their feelings that racing was not the best way to promote sidecar sales.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:5-23) This left only the Senior, Junior and Lightweight classes, each running in their own seven lap race. The 1926 TT also produced the first ever 70 mile per hour lap, set by [Jimmy Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Simpson_\(motorcyclist\) "Jimmy Simpson (motorcyclist)") who had also set the first 60 mile per hour lap average.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) Throughout the 1920s road conditions the Mountain Course gradually improved, and by the end of the decade almost the entire mountain section was paved. The improved course, combined with motorcycle development saw lap records consistently broken during this period.
From the first Isle of Man TT in 1907 all the way through 1927, practice occurred with the roads open. Therefore, riders had to avoid pedestrians and vehicles that were going about their daily business. During a practice session for the [1927 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Isle_of_Man_TT "1927 Isle of Man TT"), rider [Archie Birkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Birkin "Archie Birkin") swerved to dodge a fish van on the road and ended up hitting a wall. He died from his injuries, and this incident prompted the ACU to close roads for practice every year thereafter.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-27)

The popularity of the TT had been building throughout the 1920s and by 1930, portions of the Senior TT were broadcast by [BBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "BBC") for the first time. The increase in popularity brought an increase in the prize money, which in turn attracted more participants. The [1930 race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_Isle_of_Man_TT "1930 Isle of Man TT") saw entrants from 19 different countries, cementing the Isle of Man TT as a significant international motorcycle racing event.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:6-28) This is further proved by the [1931 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1931_Isle_of_Man_TT "1931 Isle of Man TT"), in which 153 machines of 22 different makes entered, including eight foreign factory teams. Jimmy Simpson again raised the bar in the 1931 Senior TT and set the first 80 mile per hour lap record. Despite being the first rider to set 60, 70, and 80 mile per hour laps, Jimmy Simpson had still not won a TT by 1931.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-29) In the face of mounting international factory competition, British built bikes remained the most competitive over the first half of the 1930’s. The two most dominant British makes at the time were [Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Motorcycle_Company "Norton Motorcycle Company") and [Rudge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudge-Whitworth "Rudge-Whitworth") and their battles to be the fastest at the TT bred significant innovations in their race bikes such as [overhead camshafts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_camshaft_engine "Overhead camshaft engine") and [multi-valve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve "Multi-valve") heads.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:6-28) The British dominance would come to an end in [1935](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1935_Isle_of_Man_TT "1935 Isle of Man TT") when experienced rider Standley Woods switched to [Moto Guzzi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_Guzzi "Moto Guzzi") motorcycles. He went on to win both the Senior and the Lightweight races, setting a new course record in the process.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-30)

To remain competitive, British manufacturers such as Norton and [Velocette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocette "Velocette"), chose to focus on the handling of their single cylinder motorcycles. With more advanced suspension systems front and rear, the singles remained in the fight and in 1938, [Harold Daniell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Daniell "Harold Daniell") riding a Norton, set the first ever average race speed above 90 miles per hour. This record of 91 mph over seven laps of the Mountain course would stand for 12 years until being broken after [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"). The [1938 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_Isle_of_Man_TT "1938 Isle of Man TT") was also the first to have a German made motorcycle win a race, with a [two-stroke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine "Two-stroke engine") [DKW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKW "DKW") winning the Lightweight TT.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-31) The German manufacturers returned in force for the 1939 race with [BMW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Motorrad "BMW Motorrad"), [NSU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSU_Motorenwerke "NSU Motorenwerke") and DKW fielding factory machines. The [supercharged](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger "Supercharger") BMW twin would go on to win the Senior TT, ridden by [Georg Meier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Meier "Georg Meier"). The [1939 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Isle_of_Man_TT "1939 Isle of Man TT") was the last to be held before the outbreak of World War II.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-32)
The Isle of Man TT returned for the first time after World War II in [1947](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Isle_of_Man_TT "1947 Isle of Man TT"). Based on the performance of the BMWs in the 1939 Senior TT, superchargers were banned from the race. Introduced was a new Clubman’s set of classes which allowed essentially standard road going motorcycles to compete, so long as they were fitted with lights and kick starter. The Clubman's classes mirrored the existing classes, with a Clubman's Lightweight, Clubman's Junior, and Clubman's Senior class all competing in their own races.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-33) The riders were little-known, but as the stars were barred from entering the class, it provided a stepping-stone for future-stars. Like the early Lightweight TT races, the Clubman's races were "mass start" events. The Senior TT remained the ultimate race of the weekend and Harold Daniel, riding a Norton, went on to repeat his success of 1938 taking first place. Due to the much lower quality of petrol after the war, his fastest lap was only 84.07 mph, significantly slower than nine years prior.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:4-12) By [1948](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Isle_of_Man_TT "1948 Isle of Man TT") running, the TT had firmly recovered from the post war slump with over 100 entrants across the four classes.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-34)
### Grand Prix World Championship (1949–1976)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: Grand Prix World Championship (1949–1976)")\]
The Isle of Man TT became part of the [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") [Motor-cycle Grand Prix World Championship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing "Grand Prix motorcycle racing") (now [MotoGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MotoGP "MotoGP")) as the British round of the World Motor-Cycling Championship during the period [1949](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949_Isle_of_Man_TT "1949 Isle of Man TT")–[1976](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Isle_of_Man_TT "1976 Isle of Man TT"). During this period the Isle of Man TT races included the [Sidecar TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar_TT "Sidecar TT"), 50 cc Ultra-Lightweight TT, 125 cc Lightweight TT, 250 cc Lightweight TT, 350 cc Junior TT and 500 cc Senior TT races counted towards the FIM Motor-Cycle Grand Prix World Championship.
The Clubman races with Lightweight, Junior and Senior classes were held for production motorcycles from [1947](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Isle_of_Man_TT "1947 Isle of Man TT") until [1956](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Isle_of_Man_TT "1956 Isle of Man TT").[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-35) A Senior 1000 cc class provided an opportunity for [Vincent motorcycles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Motorcycles "Vincent Motorcycles").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-36) The series became dominated by one model – the [BSA Gold Star](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_Gold_Star "BSA Gold Star"),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recce-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-38)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-39) and with little competition from other manufacturers, was discontinued. When previewing the impending re-introduction of a specification-controlled, roadster-based class in March 1967, *David Dixon* wrote: "*lack of inter-make rivalry probably put the final nail in the coffin*".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recce-37)
Writing in UK monthly magazine *Motor Cyclist Illustrated*, racing journalist Ray Knight, who had achieved a lap speed of nearly 88 mph on a [Triumph Tiger 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Tiger_100 "Triumph Tiger 100") [roadster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_motorcycle "Standard motorcycle")\-based racing motorcycle in the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"),[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-40)[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-41)[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-42) commented in early 1965 that the [ACU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Cycle_Union "Auto-Cycle Union") had refused a request from manufacturers to run a production TT race, which he thought was a missed opportunity, particularly considering the dwindling support for the 500 cc race.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-43)
[Beryl Swain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_Swain "Beryl Swain") became the first woman to compete in a TT race for solo motorcycles when she competed in the Isle of Man TT in 1962.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Beryl:0-44) There was subsequently a ban on women in the race from 1962 until [Hilary Musson](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hilary_Musson&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hilary Musson (page does not exist)") competed in 1978.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-45)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-46)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-47)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-48)
Following safety concerns with the [Snaefell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell "Snaefell") Mountain Course and problems over inadequate "start-money" for competitors, there was a boycott of the Isle of Man TT races from the early 1970s by many of the leading competitors, motorcycle manufacturers and national motorcycle sporting federations.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-49) After the 1972 races, multiple world champion, 10-time TT race winner and dominant motorcycle racer of his time [Giacomo Agostini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giacomo_Agostini "Giacomo Agostini") announced he would never race again at the Isle of Man, declaring it too dangerous for international competition and that it was outrageous that such a race should ever be part of a scenario professional riders were forced into; at this point the Isle of Man TT was not suited to the growing professionalism and business aspects of Grand Prix motorcycle racing. More and more riders joined his boycott, and after 1976, the Isle of Man TT lost its world championship status; this was transferred to the United Kingdom by the [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") and run as the [British Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_motorcycle_Grand_Prix "British motorcycle Grand Prix") for the [1977 season](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing_season "1977 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season").
### Formula TT (1977–1990)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Formula TT (1977–1990)")\]
The Isle of Man TT Races then became an integral part of the new style [TT Formula 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_TT "Formula TT"), Formula 2, and Formula 3 World Championships between 1977 and 1990 to develop and maintain the international racing status of the Isle of Man TT races.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-50)
### Modern era (1991–present)

The event was redeveloped by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism as the *Isle of Man TT Festival* from 1989 onwards. This included new racing events for the new Isle of Man TT Festival programme, including the Pre-TT Classic Races in 1989 followed by the Post-TT Races from 1991, both held on the [Billown Circuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billown_Circuit "Billown Circuit"). In 2013, the Isle of Man *Classic TT* was developed by the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development and the Auto-Cycle Union for historic racing motorcycles, and along with the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), it formed part of the 'Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling' held in late August of each year. The Classic TT brand ceased operation prior to the 2022 event, with classes for historic racing motorcycles integrated into the Manx Grand Prix. The TT is now promoted by the Isle of Man Government Department for Enterprise.
The 2001 Isle of Man TT races were cancelled because of the [outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_United_Kingdom_foot-and-mouth_outbreak "2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak") in the spring and summer of 2001. Disinfecting 40,000 spectators and competitors (and their motorcycles) to ensure the disease was kept off the island proved difficult.
There has been criticism of the event. In 2007, an incident during the Senior Race resulted in the deaths of a rider and two spectators.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-51) The resultant inquest made several recommendations and included several comments, such as: 'Senior Marshals may well have been elevated beyond the sphere of their competence'.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-52) The coroner also noted that "I am more than aware of the fact that the witnesses from the Manx Motor Cycle Club and the marshals are all volunteers. They give their time freely and without paid reward. Having said that however, if it were suggested because they were volunteers there should be some allowance in the standards expected of them, then I regret I cannot agree."[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-53)
The TT Zero was a one lap race for electric bikes running from 2010 to 2019. It was announced that the race would take a two-year break after 2019, but it never came back on the schedule since.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-54)
In March 2020, the Isle of Man Government announced the cancellation of the 2020 TT due to the ongoing [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-55) The Classic TT was subsequently cancelled in May,[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-56) and in December 2020, it was announced that 2021's TT races would also not go ahead, due to the continued worldwide spread of the virus.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-57) In 2020, the Isle of Man Government lost an estimated £4.8 million of its annual projected revenue due to the cancellation of the TT races.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-58)
The event returned in 2022 after a two-year absence.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-59)
The Isle of Man TT typically begins on the [Spring Bank Holiday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_the_United_Kingdom "Public holidays in the United Kingdom") which falls on the last Monday of May and runs for 13 days into the beginning of June. The first 5 days of the event are known as qualifying week and consist of several practice and qualifying sessions for the different classes. Races begin on the weekend after qualifying and run through the following week.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-60) There are typically one or two rest days in the middle of race week. The rest days are held as contingency days in the schedule in the case of poor weather disrupting the earlier qualifying or racing sessions.
To be eligible to race in the Isle of Man TT, competitors must hold a National or International race licence and have recent, relevant experience in motorcycle racing events. Newcomers to the TT are assessed on a case by case basis with officials looking at their track record in competitive racing. Entrants must be able to demonstrate that they have been competitive in other recognized road race events, by having scored points or placing within the top six finishers. A common stepping stone into the Isle of man TT is the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), which is an amateur version of the TT held in the late summer.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-61)
Entrants are accepted in an order of priority based on the riders finishing position in the previous year's TT, and then the riders fastest lap speed in any previous TT. Up to 15 newcomers are allowed per race. For the Superbike and Superstock classes, entries are limited to a maximum of 72 starters. The Supersport, Supertwin, and Sidecar classes are limited to a maximum of 78 starters.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:7-62) One driving factor to the limit on the number of starters is the start procedure which spaces out each competitor by 10 seconds. With 78 starters, it takes 13 minutes for every competitor to have set off. With a single lap taking around 17 minutes to complete, that leaves only 4 minutes for the start gate and personnel to leave the start finish line before the first riders return.
There are several qualifying sessions throughout the first week of the Isle of Man TT. The qualifying sessions group several classes together, with Superbike, Superstock and Supersport commonly all running in the same session. The Sidecar class always runs in its own dedicated session. Newcomers are given priority during qualifying, and are allowed to participate in the majority of sessions regardless of their class. This is to ensure that newcomers can gain as much exposure to the track prior to the races.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
To qualify for a race, an entrant's qualifying time must be within a certain percentage of the time set by the third fastest qualifier in the class. For the solo races, it is within 112% of the third fastest qualifier. For the sidecar race, it is within 120% of the third fastest qualifying time. The qualifying results are based on any of the times set in any of the sessions before the close of qualifying.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Start_Senior_TT_2010_IMG_P0001185.jpg)
Competitors line up at the start of the [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Isle_of_Man_TT "2010 Isle of Man TT") [Senior TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_TT "Senior TT") race
There are two races held per class throughout the second week of the TT. The format of the race is a [time trial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_trial "Time trial"), where in order to win, the rider must complete the race in the least amount of time. Therefore, the track position in which the riders finish the race is irrelevant. Race competitors are started in ten second intervals, ensuring that each rider is able to focus on the track instead of passing one another.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) That being said, it is common for riders to encounter each other on the track as the race progresses, and riders may end up having to overtake each other during the race. The number of laps per race varies depending on the class:
| Class | Number of laps | Total distance |
|---|---|---|
| Superbike / Senior | 6 | 226\.38 mi (364.32 km)[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-65) |
| Supersport | 4 | 150\.09 mi (241.55 km)[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-66) |
| Superstock | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-67) |
| Supertwin | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-68) |
| Sidecar | 3 | 113\.19 mi (182.16 km)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-69) |
The Senior race is typically the last race held and is considered the most important of the TT. The Senior race is unique because is it not limited to machines conforming to the Superbike class rules. Riders are permitted to change machine to any other eligible machine on which the rider has qualified to race or has raced during the meeting.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) It is not uncommon for riders to enter the Senior TT riding on their Superstock class machines. In some cases, the Superstock class machines can be faster than the Superbike class, despite their less extensive performance modifications. The current lap record on the Mountain Course was set by [Peter Hickman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hickman "Peter Hickman") during a Superstock race.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:10-70)
In the case of inclement weather, races may be postponed to later in the day, or later in the week. If the schedule necessitates, the number of laps per race may be reduced to fit them in the remaining schedule.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:10-70)
Most races will require a [pit stop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_stop "Pit stop") at some point to refuel. Typically, TT motorcycles can complete two laps before needing to refuel. The Superbike class machines will also have the rear tyre changed during one of their pit stops. Fuel is gravity fed to the motorcycles from elevated tanks and can take up to a minute for a full refill during a stop. In the meantime, the rider is able to clean their helmet visor, drink water, and receive information from the pit crew regarding their performance.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-71)
The racing classes that compete at the Isle of Man TT are broadly similar to the standard FIM race classes with additional TT-specific regulations.
### Superbike TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Superbike TT (2005–present)")\]
The superbike class represents the highest performance motorcycles that compete at the Isle of Man TT. These machines must appear on the FIM homologated motorcycles list. Commonly these machines are 1,000 cc four-cylinder sport bikes that have been heavily modified for racing purposes. General specifications are as follows:
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–4 | 750 – 1,000 cc | 250 hp | 165 kg (364 lbs) |
| 2 | 850 – 1,200 cc | | |
Other machines may be admitted at the discretion of the organisers.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:8-63)
### Supersport TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Supersport TT (2005–present)")\]
The supersport class can be considered the modern incarnation of the Junior TT class. Supersport motorcycles are more limited in the amount and types of modifications they can make. Specifications are based on the FIM Supersport Championship.
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 400 – 600 cc | 130 hp | 161 kg (355 lbs)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:7-62) |
| 3 | 600 – 890 cc | | |
| 2 | 600 – 955 cc | | |
### Superstock TT (2005–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=14 "Edit section: Superstock TT (2005–present)")\]
Superstock TT utilizes similar machines to the Superbike class, but severely limits modification. Motorcycles in this class compete on treaded road tyres. Specifications are based on the FIM Superstock Championship.
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–4 | 750 – 1,000 cc | 220 hp | 170 kg (375 lbs)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-:9-64) |
| 2 | 850 – 1,200 cc | | |
### Supertwin TT (2022–present)
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=15 "Edit section: Supertwin TT (2022–present)")\]
2022 saw the introduction of the supertwin race run over 3 laps, increased to 4 laps the following year. The class is very similar to the lightweight class which last ran in 2019, although with some differences. The maximum capacity has been increased to 700 cc allowing the Yamaha YZF-R7 and Aprilia RS660 to compete. In 2022 bikes with capacities of 651 cc+ were required to run 10 kg heavier than the 150 kg limit for the 650 cc machines, but 2023 saw this changed and all bikes in the class now have a minimum weight of 150 kg.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-72)
| \# of cylinders | Engine displacement | Typical power | Minimum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 600 – 700 cc | 105 hp | 150 kg (331 lbs) |
The [1923 TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Isle_of_Man_TT "1923 Isle of Man TT") was the first time the Sidecar TT race was run, over three laps (113 mi or 182 km) of the [Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course") and was won by [Freddie Dixon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Dixon "Freddie Dixon") and passenger Walter Denny with a [Douglas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_\(motorcycles\) "Douglas (motorcycles)") and special *banking-sidecar* at an average race speed of 53.15 mph (85.54 km/h). For the [1926 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926_Isle_of_Man_TT "1926 Isle of Man TT") the Sidecar and [Ultra-Lightweight TT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Lightweight_TT "Ultra-Lightweight TT") classes were dropped due to lack of entries.

Sidecar TT race competitors line up to start the race
The Sidecar race was re-introduced from the [1954 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Isle_of_Man_TT "1954 Isle of Man TT") for Sidecars not exceeding 500 cc engine capacity, run on the [Clypse Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clypse_Course "Clypse Course"). A non-championship 750 cc class for sidecars was introduced at the [1968 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Isle_of_Man_TT "1968 Isle of Man TT"). For the [1976 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Isle_of_Man_TT "1976 Isle of Man TT") the race was held over two-legs. From 1975, the previous 500 cc and 750 cc classes for Sidecars were replaced by a 1,000 cc engine capacity class. The new [FIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_Motocyclisme "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme") Formula 2 class for Sidecars was introduced for the 1990 Isle of Man TT.

After the completion of a practice or race period, an official course vehicle displaying the notice *Roads Open* proceeds around the Mountain Course, passing each point opening the roads including side-access junctions to public use. On the [Snaefell mountain road](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_mountain_road "Snaefell mountain road") section from Ramsey to Douglas, the official vehicle displays the notice *Roads Open One Way.*
### Travelling marshals

Originally introduced in 1935, there are eight machines positioned around the course to provide a rapid response to any incidents. Selected riders have previous race experience and are first-aid trained, with machines carrying medical equipment that can assist in managing a casualty. They also have other duties such as course inspection, observation of machines on the course for visible faults, and review and report any course incidents.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-74) Until 2024, all travelling marshals rode [Honda CBR1000RR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR1000RR "Honda CBR1000RR") Fireblades.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-75) From 2025, BMW Motorrad announced a 3-year deal with the Isle of Man TT to supply a mixture of [S1000RR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_S1000RR "BMW S1000RR") and M1000RR machinery.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-76)
The 1982 Road Racing Act (Isle of Man) and the supplementary TT Road Races Orders allow vehicles and pedestrians to cross the Snaefell Mountain Course at certain points between scheduled race periods under the supervision of a police officer. Several permanent pedestrian overbridges have been erected. These points include:

Part of the access road passing under the A1 Peel Road
The TT Access Road runs parallel to a section of the [A1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A1_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A1 road (Isle of Man)") Peel Road, which is part of the [Snaefell Mountain Course](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_Mountain_Course "Snaefell Mountain Course"), and operates during practice and race periods to enable vehicles to pass from inside of the race course to the outside. It runs along a section of former railway line on the historic Douglas to [Peel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel,_Isle_of_Man "Peel, Isle of Man") route, from the junction of the [A5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A5_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A5 road (Isle of Man)") *New Castletown Road* at the [Quarter Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterbridge,_Isle_of_Man "Quarterbridge, Isle of Man"), passing under the course at [Braddan Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braddan_Bridge "Braddan Bridge"), to an exit at Braddan School Road in Douglas outskirts, near the former [Braddan Railway Halt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braddan_Bridge#Railway_halt "Braddan Bridge") and the [A23](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A23_road_\(Isle_of_Man\) "A23 road (Isle of Man)")/Ballafletcher Road junction. The access road is a narrow, [single-track width](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-track_road "Single-track road") with passing places and is restricted to cars and light vans below a weight limit of 3,500 kilograms (3.4 long tons; 3.9 short tons). When used for vehicular traffic, pedestrian access is prohibited, but at other times it is part of a system of [nature trails](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail "Trail").[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-77)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-78)
## Incidents and controversies
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=25 "Edit section: Incidents and controversies")\]
Between 1907 and 2023, there have been 156 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and 269 total fatalities (this number includes the riders killed during the [Manx Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Grand_Prix "Manx Grand Prix"), and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s).[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-times-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-80)[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-course-81) In 2016, 5 riders died on the course during official practices or races.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-backus-82)[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-five-83)[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-tragedy-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-recap-85) There were six fatalities among competitors in the [1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Isle_of_Man_TT "1970 Isle of Man TT") and [2022](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Isle_of_Man_TT "2022 Isle of Man TT") Isle of Man TTs, making them the two deadliest years in the history of the event.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-86)[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-87)[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-88)
### 2018 Course Car incident
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isle_of_Man_TT&action=edit§ion=26 "Edit section: 2018 Course Car incident")\]

Sidecars returning to [Paddock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Grandstand "TT Grandstand") past [Sarah's Cottage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah%27s_Cottage,_Isle_of_Man "Sarah's Cottage, Isle of Man") in reverse direction to a normal race after a red flag caused by a competitor's crash in [2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Isle_of_Man_TT "2009 Isle of Man TT")
On 30 May 2018, an experienced TT rider, [Steve Mercer](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Mercer&action=edit&redlink=1 "Steve Mercer (page does not exist)"),[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-89)[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Autosp-90) was seriously injured during a head-on collision with an official Course Car at [Ballacrye](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballacrye_Corner "Ballacrye Corner"). The car, being driven at high speed,[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92) was conveying police officers to officiate at the scene of a fatality involving [Dan Kneen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Kneen "Dan Kneen"). Mercer was unconscious for five days and hospitalised for five months due to multiple injuries. He was one of seven riders who had been halted on the course and turned back by marshals, being instructed to proceed back to the [TT Grandstand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_Grandstand "TT Grandstand") area in the reverse direction after the [red flag stoppage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_flags#Red_flag "Racing flags").[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-bikesportnews_June_2019-94) Immediately after the accident the organisers changed their protocols, requiring that returning riders must be controlled by motorcycle-mounted [travelling marshals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#Travelling_Marshals) to the front and rear.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-95)[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-96) An independent inquiry into the circumstances was arranged by ACU Events, the event organisers.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-97)
The [Auto-Cycle Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Cycle_Union "Auto-Cycle Union"), the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise, and the inquiry report author, lawyer Rob Jones, a former chief executive of the [Motor Sports Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorsport_UK "Motorsport UK"), all refused to release the report as it was confidential and privately owned by the ACU.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-bikesportnews_June_2019-94)[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-98)[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-99)
The ACU admitted liability for the accident, but instructed that any legal claim for compensation by Mercer must be filed in the Isle of Man. The ACU stated that Mercer was receiving financial assistance through its "extensive insurance arrangements".[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-Autosp-90)[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-100)[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-101)
In 2019, it was reported that the driver of the car in the collision had quit after criticism that he exceeded a newly introduced speed limit recorded by a [GPS tracking device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_tracking_device "GPS tracking device") when he drove to attend a fatality involving Chris Swallow at [Ballaugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballaugh "Ballaugh") in August's Senior Classic TT. Gary Thompson, Clerk of the Course and an ACU employee, had been criticised in 2018 for also fulfilling the role of Safety Officer; consequently a new incumbent was in place for 2019.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-BBC_7_Dec_2018-92)[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-102)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#cite_note-103)
