TT(Tourist Trophy) Isle Of Man
Hi there! Today I want to tell you about one of the most dangerous motorcycle races in the world.
The International Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) races are an annual motorcycle sport event run on the Isle of Man in May/June of most years since its inaugural race in 1907, and is often called one of the most dangerous racing events in the world.
The Isle of Man TT is run in a time-trial format on public roads closed to the public by an Act of Tynwald (the parliament of the Isle of Man). The event consists of one week of practice sessions followed by one week of racing. It has been a tradition, perhaps started by racing competitors in the early 1920s, for spectators to tour the Snaefell Mountain Course on motorcycles during the Isle of Man TT on "Mad Sunday", an informal and unofficial sanctioned event held on the Sunday between 'Practice Week' and 'Race Week'.
The first Isle of Man TT race was held on Tuesday 28 May 1907 and was called the International Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy. The event was organised by the Auto-Cycle Club over 10 laps of the Isle of Man St John's Short Course of 15 miles 1,470 yards for road-legal 'touring' motorcycles with exhaust silencers, saddles, pedals and mudguards.
After all, the famous races on the Isle of man are popular because they are the fastest and most deadly race in the history of mankind. Absolutely all participants are simple guys, fans of their business. Their bikes are serial, and the track passes through residential areas. Isle of Man TT has been running since 1907, in the hundred years of racing, 234 riders have died on the Isle of man track...a Fragile man, sitting on an engine, rushes at exorbitant speed, almost touching the ground, entering the turns. Any mistake, any unaccounted nuance or unpredictable factor can lead to irreparable consequences. Because the rider has no five-point belts, no roll cage, no airbag. Just him, one-on-one with reality, where every detail can be fatal.
