Hey Guys. My friend Mark lived for this race but unfortunately aged 23 he made a fatal mistake on his 5th and last race leaving a young family behind. RIP Mingle
TT stands for Tourist Trophy and it is a time trail and they set off at 10 second intervals, they used to go off in pairs but now they go one at a time. It is over 2 weeks, a practice week and a race week. There were 8 races over 4 race days, Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but they can race on the rest days if needed. Next year there will be 10 races over 6 race days for the first time, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The exact length of the Mountain Course is 37.73 miles and on, as you saw, closed public roads. Back when it started they didn't close the roads for practice, it was only when a competitor collided with a milk float in early morning practice and was killed did they start to close the roads for practice as well. There were also 2 other circuits used for the TT, the St John's course which was the original course in 1907-1911. In 1911 they transfered to the current Mountain Course and in the 1950's and '60's they temporarily used the Clypse Course for certain classes (mostly small cylinder machines and sidecars). The 260+ deaths is slightly misleading as that is Mountain Course deaths, which include the ManxGP/Classic TT race deaths in August. The ManxGP is the amateur TT on the Mountain Course, traditionally riders would do the 'Manx' first and then, if good enough, proceed to the TT itself. Nowadays they don't always go that route, but it is advised except for the very best riders. Deaths from the TT alone is 155, with 6 this year (which was exceptionally high, although not unheard of). Classes raced are Superbike, Supersport, Superstock, Supertwins and Sidecars. I could tell you more about the TT but this is already long enough lol.
@@alexis1451 No, they stopped doing the TT Zero race this year. They always struggled to get entrants for it, normally they had about a dozen enter but by the race it got down to about 6-8 who actually raced and about 4 that finished. The first one I think was in 2010, same year as Conor's crash and Guy Martin's fireball crash. The leading bike in the later years was the Mugan, and when you find out that Mugan is a side company of Honda you understand why. They actually set a decent lap, 120mph by Michael Rutter I think is the record. When you think the winner's average speed of the 1st TT Zero was about 80mph in 2010 and that 120mph was in 2018, that is some improvement. But one problem was getting them to even do a lap, so you can see the problem if they had to convert to electric. You would only have 1 lap races with hardly any finishers, which doesn't bode well for when they ban the combustion engine. They did say they do have plans to bring it back sometime revamped but without a major import from all major factories, I can't see it ever really being anything but a novelty. (Just as a disclaimer, all the facts are from memory so there could be the odd one inaccurate. But I think they are accurate)
What's truly amazing about his crash is that he bounced and cartwheeled over that stone wall. I doubt he'd lived if he had hit it. Damn! I still get shivers watching it.
These are special people who through their obsession bravery and sacrifice show the rest of us what is possible. My friends son died on a bike but was not a pro. He was in other extreme sports and we all understood that he might not live a long life. But it was a true joy knowing someone like him. He pushed the limits of his beautiful short life.
Hi Guys. Im from the Isle of Man . Im still in school and the TT is our Half Term holiday so basically everyone knows about it and I think you two should come and visit some time
The riders take off at 10 second intervals. They run six laps with two pit stops. Each lap is 37.5 miles. There are various classes for the bikes, and there's also a sidecar race that's really crazy. There's several other videos with more info, and tons of highlight videos. I'd just be careful which ones you pick if you do crash videos because some of the compilations contain fatal wrecks.
6:48 The winner of the Senior TT (aka "the big race") which happens on the last day of the two weeks of the TT and is *THE* race you want to win, in 2022 was given a prize purse of £18,000, and the grand total prize purse the winnings are awarded from for the ENTIRE event (all 6 race classes) hovers around £160,000. For some of the big riders with teams and sponsors and the like, that's barely enough to cover even the fuel used during the two weeks of the event. Irish Road Racing & the Isle of Mann TT is all about passion and prestige. In the world of circuit riding, names like Rossi and Rea will sometimes rise above the sport and be recognized for extraordinary achievement. You win a Senior TT, and unless to you know where to look, you probably wont even hear about it. But to those of us enthused about motorcycle racing and road racing, names like Martin, McGuiness, Dunlop, Lougher, Hillier, and the like are etched into history. Guy Martin especially, a no-nonsense heavy truck mechanic from Lincolnshire that needs subtitles because of his accent and absolutely does not know what the words "politically" and "correct" mean together, and has often been described as the best racer to have never won a TT event. So, you are correct, the riders and racers that show up to the TT are there because they want to be. They know they can be seriously injured or even die doing it, but there is a bit from a documentary called "TT3D: Closer to the edge" (which was in theaters in the UK in 3D) where Guy Martin quite literally states why he did it for so long, despite multiple crashes and injuries: "The buzz you get from that, it's better than any drug." The documentary (French release but not dubbed) can be found here: th-cam.com/video/ihH5uDUaqRE/w-d-xo.html
I might be wrong but I think that £18,000 for the Senior Race is actually split by who is leading each lap in gradual increasing amounts up to lap 6. There's a prize for each position at the end of each lap decreasing as it goes down the placings. So you'd have to lead all six laps to win £18,000. I think it's on the TT results if memory serves, something like the top 15 or 20 each lap get prize money increasing every lap with the most for finishing lap 6.
when you ride at high speed is like a bird flying your not inside something your out in the in the open as for cornering at speed i have no words that express the feeling
The Isle Of TT and the Manx TT are time trails (the Manx is held later in the year and is for amateurs and Classic bikes), but they also race in groups on a shorter course (Castle Town) called The Southern 100 as part of the King Of The Roads. Most of the KotR races are in Ireland, with the southern being on the Isle, and Scarborough in Yorkshire holds a race at Oliver's Mount. Except for Oliver's Mount, the courses are just as mental as the TT, but with fields some times so big, they are started in two waves of riders.
When I was there in '85 the Safety Helicopter frightened a horse in a field next to the course. It jumped a fence onto the course and into the path of a ride travelling at over 100 mph. Both were killed.
The TT is the oldest motorcycle race in the world, it has the longest circuit (37.7 miles of closed public roads), and it has had on average 2 people die every year. It's number 1 on my bucket list to watch in person, and I have been following it since the 1970s.
I've been there to the Island but not for the race. It's really a beautiful place to spend a weekend if you like rural settings which I do. I'm not sure if I would really want to see this particular race.
My ancestors are from The Isle Of Man. In the US, fewer than 10,000 people share my surname, in Man, it's one of the most common. One of these days I want to get there for the TT. Also, if anyone wants to know, that's Paganinni's Caprice #24 playing in the background.
They start at 10 second intervals and are timed individually. Laps are 37.5 miles and are completed in under 17 minutes. Average speed over the race exceeds 130mph and the speed over some parts exceeds 200mph. Races vary depending on class of bike between 4 and six laps. There are trophies and prize money but no fortunes to be made - it costs more for a week of practice + a week of racing than the value of the top prize.
Michael Dunlop who is mentioned in that film as having come first. Is still racing despite 3 other members of his family, father, brother and Uncle, having lost thier lives in this race in past years.
Heard of this but never left the main land USA … love the biker history // most racers I’ve met are in for the perks and the sponsorships , only a few really make winners cash
Correct there is a ‘Mad Sunday.’ Not at all mad these days. Many speed limits & police presence. The Isles of Man police as good as gold. But anyone riding in a dangerous manner, speeding or impaired is very likely to get nicked.
As soon as there is a fatality on the TT race weeks the media is all over it . Both on the tv news and the papers with biased opinions . You only hear about the deaths , you never hear about fatalities on race tracks of which more are killed . Watch " Gut martins ' film of his crash on the island and why he got up and went back to do it all over again . The riders don't do it for the money and one of the " world " champions Valentino Rossi went there rode a practice lap and vowed never to ride there again.
Me and my family love you guys in America...south carolina. The thing about this race is that the riders only bo it for the love of the sport. There is no prize money, no trophy, only the bragging writes to say that I was the winner of this race. This race was supposed to be held in the USA when it first started but was outlawed and moved to England where the riders from all over the world was able to participate in the race. This race has a long history and lots of riders travel to test their mettle....love you guys . I am retread from drag racing motorcycles for the last 30 years.
Oh, I didn't realise it was supposed to have started in the US, lol. As far as I recall, it started in the IoM in 1907 because they weren't allowed to race in England. There are a number of documenteries outlining the history, worth a look for the origins. The early course included some quite rough, rural roads and wasn't as long as the current mountain course. For the bikes of the time, though it must've been a heck of a challenge. Massive respect to all who are brave enough to compete. I first visited around 1972 when my brother raced there and was awestruck. Been back many times and going again in 2023.
The winner is the one who turns the fastest lap. It is not a conventional first to the line race. It is the fastest race in the world! It is also the deadliest. Memory of the coarse takes two weeks as it is 36 miles long! It is an all volunteer event. The best in the world compete here.
There are a few feature length documentaries. In fact on the new TT website TT+ there is a new hour and half documentary you can watch for free (I don't think you have to pay to see that). Quiet interesting. There is also one on here with Gary Johnson and Dominic Herbertson that is a good watch.
This is a old video but still good. We have now sadly had 266 deaths. 6 deaths in 2022 and the super bikes average record is 135mph with top speed of 200mph plus. I’m from the island. If your into motorbikes you know of the TT not just if you are from the island.
Majority of people who follow motorcycle road racing knows about this race. Usually televised on a sports channel. I've watched with my son who really likes motorcycles and racing. [ Oregon].
Y'all should react to the Baja 1000 its another insanely brutal race it's raced down the Baja California Peninsula over 1,000 total miles through public and active roads and very difficult offroad terrain and can last anywhere from 24-34 hours now featuring close to 40 different vehicle classes, in 2005 they made a film documentary about it called Dust 2 Glory a driver named Mouse Mccoy did the entire 24 hour race by himself on a motorcycle without stopping outside of normal pit stops, its completely insane.
Curiosity question if anyone knows. With all the houses the go by, do the people get paid and insured in case of an accident. If inside there home, a bad accident could mean death. If anyone knows how it works, id like to hear, thsnks.
I don't know but I'd imagine they would claim off the team's insurance or perhaps the event's insurance. There was a woman injured in Northern Ireland in a road race called the North West 200 in I think 2015 when there was a crash and a bike knocked over a telegraph pole and crashed into her front garden smashing into the back of her car and also hitting her (thankfully she survived) so it can and has happened.
Could you guys do a reaction video to an acapell group( meaning no instruments) the group is Pentatnix the 4 top songs would be 1 Hallelujah, 2 Bohemian Rhapsody, 3 Mary did you Know, and 4 would be Carol of the bells
Now try the sidecars for the real nutters🏍️💨🏍️💨💨🏍️💨💨💨🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻😈👍 and dont forget...no speed limits on the mountain course for the general public during the off days😁😁😁😁😁🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨😈
@@Frankie--da-fixer I think that's only during the actual races and practice, there are opportunities for the public to ride or drive round the circuit and I believe other casualties have occurred then but they're classed as bystanders rather than spectators: still not many but there have been losses amongst race marshals and other officials.
The Isle of Man is a totally Independent nation. It is NOT part of the UK. Max speed over 200 mph. Average lap speed 130 mph. The joke was that the tyres are so sticky you could put the bike upside down on the ceiling it it would stay there. Also that the bikes need to be powerful to carry the largest balls in Motorbike racing!!!
Why does everybody call it the deadliest motorcycle race? It is a series of around 10 races over a long circuit, and riders also complete many more laps during practicing the week before. The total miles during the race period are vastly more than in any other motorcycle race so the accident rate is not especially high. Of course they are normal roads with little run off space, but it is run as a time trial so there are never large numbers if bikes in the same area. Motorcycling is dangerous anywhere compared to other forms of transport.
the prize money is virtually nothing. the racers do it for the pride and prestige of being able to qualify to do the race. take about 3 - 4 years to learn the course.
I am 67 years old and still love riding my bikes. To me riding a bike makes you a better car driver as riding makes you more aware of the road. BUT you always get the idiots driving riding or pedestrians being CLOWNS with their brain dead cells all over the world.
With 200,000 bike miles under my wheels I agree that riding a motorcycle keeps you alert. Other road users aren’t necessarily out to kill or maim us. But.
Men and women who are willing to strap into a race car, rocket or get on a bike put themselves in those situations knowing the risks. I've not got the balls.
@@nicksykes4575 not saying your wrong but i got the numbers from one video that i watched. its possible that it was not one accident but several. but im positive the number was four.
@@roymagnus827 There was a spectator killed at the Manx Grand Prix in the early 2,000s. Different races held on the same course, that would take the number to four. If your citing one TH-cam report that said 3 riders and 4 members of the public died while the reporter was there, those 4 members of the public died while riding their own bikes on the course, while it was open to the public.
Hey Guys. My friend Mark lived for this race but unfortunately aged 23 he made a fatal mistake on his 5th and last race leaving a young family behind. RIP Mingle
Always the saddest part of any race. 💙
There were actually five rider fatalities this year - 2022

Majority of people who follow motorcycle road racing knows about this race. Usually televised on a sports channel. I've watched with my son who really likes motorcycles and racing. [ Oregon].
I hope to go watch this race one day one of my dreams
Connor Cummins was born on the Isle of Man.
Y'all should react to the Baja 1000 its another insanely brutal race it's raced down the Baja California Peninsula over 1,000 total miles through public and active roads and very difficult offroad terrain and can last anywhere from 24-34 hours now featuring close to 40 different vehicle classes, in 2005 they made a film documentary about it called Dust 2 Glory a driver named Mouse Mccoy did the entire 24 hour race by himself on a motorcycle without stopping outside of normal pit stops, its completely insane.
A few spectators were killed when rider crashed a lost his life, that made the 4 deaths
What part of English is this guy's accent from? I understand they are now in Jersey but where is his accent from?
Curiosity question if anyone knows. With all the houses the go by, do the people get paid and insured in case of an accident. If inside there home, a bad accident could mean death. If anyone knows how it works, id like to hear, thsnks.
I don't know but I'd imagine they would claim off the team's insurance or perhaps the event's insurance. There was a woman injured in Northern Ireland in a road race called the North West 200 in I think 2015 when there was a crash and a bike knocked over a telegraph pole and crashed into her front garden smashing into the back of her car and also hitting her (thankfully she survived) so it can and has happened.
@@mattmid7012 ya I imagine it would be something that’d happen. Thanks for the info
"Next thing I know I was in Hospital..." Jim Gaffigan wasn't lying.
Could you guys do a reaction video to an acapell group( meaning no instruments) the group is Pentatnix the 4 top songs would be 1 Hallelujah, 2 Bohemian Rhapsody, 3 Mary did you Know, and 4 would be Carol of the bells
Hi, more people have died boxing in the same period of time. 13 boxers die on average each year in the ring.
The current Outright class record holder, Peter Hickman, set a lap time of 16:42.778, with an average speed of 135.452mph/217.989km/h.
He is really KAMIKATZE Pilot..........😎😎🥶🥶
Now try the sidecars for the real nutters🏍️💨🏍️💨💨🏍️💨💨💨🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻😈👍 and dont forget...no speed limits on the mountain course for the general public during the off days😁😁😁😁😁🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨😈
They even have a sidecar division and they're insane
The winner(s) of the races don't get a lot of money by modern standards. They race the island because they love racing.
Don't get confused the average 130mph is covered by the whole 32 miles, top speed some places 180mph
they surpass 200 all the time
Out of all those deaths,I wonder how many were spectators?
Two. Dean Jacob and Gregory Kenzig died in 2007.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 wow as close as they are you would think there be more!
@@Frankie--da-fixer I think that's only during the actual races and practice, there are opportunities for the public to ride or drive round the circuit and I believe other casualties have occurred then but they're classed as bystanders rather than spectators: still not many but there have been losses amongst race marshals and other officials.
This video was great but doesn't show how fast these bikes are actually going. I'm sure there's a compilation out there. Nice reaction.
The Isle of Man is a totally Independent nation. It is NOT part of the UK. Max speed over 200 mph. Average lap speed 130 mph. The joke was that the tyres are so sticky you could put the bike upside down on the ceiling it it would stay there. Also that the bikes need to be powerful to carry the largest balls in Motorbike racing!!!
Why does everybody call it the deadliest motorcycle race? It is a series of around 10 races over a long circuit, and riders also complete many more laps during practicing the week before. The total miles during the race period are vastly more than in any other motorcycle race so the accident rate is not especially high. Of course they are normal roads with little run off space, but it is run as a time trial so there are never large numbers if bikes in the same area. Motorcycling is dangerous anywhere compared to other forms of transport.
the prize money is virtually nothing. the racers do it for the pride and prestige of being able to qualify to do the race. take about 3 - 4 years to learn the course.
Bonne vidéo et bonjour de la France 😁
When you love to ride it's all you want to do.
It was dirt bikes for me which while dangerous it's nothing compared to these guys.
Total as of 2022 is 265 deaths of riders and spectators.
Conor Cummins is not american. He was born in Douglas, Isle of Man.
I have a friend from the Isle of Mann. I'll have to ask him if he ever watched the race
It’s done for the rush. Why is skydiving allowed?
Hubby has been the this race two times coming from the west coast of Canada He loved it
If you want to see ILE OF MAN TT rACES its all On Duke Marketing DVD"s
I am 67 years old and still love riding my bikes. To me riding a bike makes you a better car driver as riding makes you more aware of the road. BUT you always get the idiots driving riding or pedestrians being CLOWNS with their brain dead cells all over the world.
With 200,000 bike miles under my wheels I agree that riding a motorcycle keeps you alert. Other road users aren’t necessarily out to kill or maim us. But.
Watch tt3d closer to the edge all about the tt with Guy Martin
5 deaths this year including a father and son.
3.24, why is he doing that she said, well he's racing the track in his head.
Men and women who are willing to strap into a race car, rocket or get on a bike put themselves in those situations knowing the risks. I've not got the balls.
Plz react to (piter hickman on board lap on BMW HP4. )
Ya gotta get back on the horse
Start by playing AA baseball ⚾
Somebody send them an adaptor ...2 into 1 headphone adapter.
Would be awesome if you guys could check out planet moto episode 1, awesome vid guys
This is on my win the lottery list. To go there and see the race. And run the course as fast as I can. They let the public do that.
And the guy talking goes of a cliff 150mls+
Peter Hickman, on board chin camera for spectacular practice lap.

I race in it
There are much better Isle of Man videos out there. TT= Tourist trophy
the guy you asked if he was napping He was running the race course through his head trying to memorize it.
You should like you are from the UK. If that is true, how have you not heard of this race?
nah.. the deadliest motorcycle race is Road Rash
one accident killed four spectators, you should watch videos of the crashes
Highly unlikely, as there has only ever been three spectators killed, one in 1939 and two in 2005.
@@nicksykes4575 not saying your wrong but i got the numbers from one video that i watched. its possible that it was not one accident but several. but im positive the number was four.
@@roymagnus827 There was a spectator killed at the Manx Grand Prix in the early 2,000s. Different races held on the same course, that would take the number to four. If your citing one TH-cam report that said 3 riders and 4 members of the public died while the reporter was there, those 4 members of the public died while riding their own bikes on the course, while it was open to the public.
Have you always had what appears to be a death fixation
@@davecooper3238 Far from it, it just annoys me when people grossly exaggerate figures for the TT.
The event goes on for 2 weeks. One week for practice, the second is for racing.
