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
RIP
RIP.
it's not a race
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.
Do they still do the electric bike races? I remember seeing some videos of one of those from a few years (maybe 10) ago and it was absolutely bonkers.
@@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)
Going to see this race is on my bucket list.
I'm in New Zealand, my cousin has been, it's on my bucket list to some day.
Make it asap . Life is short. Am going next year
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.
I’m from the isle of man, 🇮🇲…..Thankyou for taking out time to review the TT, please investigate further, not just the crashing side ……👍🇮🇲
From America but watch this every year. It's the one place on earth i want to visit that i haven't yet.
I'm a violinist of 3 years and hearing paganiniana in the background is beautiful
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.
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
American here with Manx ancestry. I’ve been to the Isle of Man but not for the TT. The TT is awesome and occasionally deadly! 🇮🇲
Are you Amerimanx or a Manxican .?
@@maxmoore9955 I would say Amerimanx! Not all of my ancestors were from the Isle of Man! But I’ll be sure to use that in the future!
Another must watch is
TT closer to the edge.
It's on my bucket list of something I want to see in the future.
Just knowing what is coming up in the next fraction of a second is amazing.
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.
Simply crazy. Much respect to the riders. Have been watching for years. Also love Rally Racing in Uk and beyond
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: ruclips.net/video/ihH5uDUaqRE/видео.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.
BMW paid Michael Dunlop £850,000 for winning on their bike, the prize money is not where the earnings are for the top guys.
I'll be marshaling the TT next year
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
Good show I'm from the Isle of man and we all love it 200+3feet away from you what a rush Good luck conner Cummings 😅😮😢🎉❤❤❤greetings from Douglas
You have to be a jedi to race in The Isle Of Men TT
That Connor survived his prang is a miracle
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!!!
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.
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
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.
I am from the Isle of man and it almost looks faster when you are there. Especially when you know the course, it is incredible
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.
You both are English and never heard of the Isle of man TT !! unbelievable !!
That was the first thing I thought too 👍👍
Guy Martin is another IOM TT must watch He is a super cool chap with silly side burns 🙂
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.
Take a look at "the greatest show on earth" - it really captures the spirit of the TT and has some of the best racing shots.
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.
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.
He is called Connor Cummins 2 last year true hero 2 come back from that greetings from Douglas Isle of man
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.
They also let the spectators/fans loose on the track twice on Sunday's, called from memory Mad Sunday's.
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.
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.
Iam from the Isle of man 200+deaths since 1907 you have to watch to believe 3 feet away from a bike doing 200mls + its adrenaline its on next week
holy smokes those guys are FLYIN'!!
Thanks
❤
I have been there twice, it is magic
You gotta go
You haven't lived until you do
In this video, Mr Beesley lectures on the fine points of motorcycle racing
The record TT speed is 206 mph.However,some spectators and race officials have also been killed.
Peter Hickman 2018 mph
Y'all got to watch THE ISLE OF MAN TT TOP SPEED MOMENTS to give it justice. This video ain't crap.
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].
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.
Oops retired from drag racing.
There is prize money and trophies trust me I live here you are way off the mark
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.
@@bigglesace1626 Yanks got to lay claim to everything!
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
Connor Cummins was born on the Isle of Man.
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.
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.
None of Michaels family lost their lives at the TT , get your facts right 😡
@@mikejohnson2076 Then I correct my reply to. Despite 3 other members of his family, father, brother and uncle losing their lives in racing accidents.
A few spectators were killed when rider crashed a lost his life, that made the 4 deaths
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😁😁😁😁😁🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨😈
"Having a nap" was also my first thought when I watched it first time. No, what he is doing is remembering all turns on all road, HE VISUALS THE RACE.
It's a race, an endurance race, and a time trial.
Hi, more people have died boxing in the same period of time. 13 boxers die on average each year in the ring.
Watch the side car races as well for the Isle ma race to. Its insane 😳
If you want to see ILE OF MAN TT rACES its all On Duke Marketing DVD"s
I hope to go watch this race one day one of my dreams
He is really KAMIKATZE Pilot..........😎😎🥶🥶
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.
I keep watching Millie cocking her head right or left as the motorcycle drops into a curve on the screen.
What part of English is this guy's accent from? I understand they are now in Jersey but where is his accent from?
There is an AMAZING documentary about this race. It's called "Road". I highly recommend it when you all have some free time.
There is a full length film titled "Closer to the Edge". Maybe it has other titles outside the UK
@MichaelTB I'll check it out. I had to use my vpn to watch Road. At the time it wasn't available in the states.
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.
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
They even have a sidecar division and they're insane
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
Total as of 2022 is 265 deaths of riders and spectators.
Hubby has been the this race two times coming from the west coast of Canada He loved it
There have been spectators killed during the race as well as riders. It is a time trial race, meaning you race the clock instead of other riders. That said, it is common for them to be in very tight quarters when they get bunched up due to a caution or what not.
Watch tt3d closer to the edge all about the tt with Guy Martin
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.
The TT is very British.
And completely insane.
We just don't care
Bonne vidéo et bonjour de la France 😁
Ya gotta get back on the horse
Start by playing AA baseball ⚾
It’s done for the rush. Why is skydiving allowed?
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.
Plz react to (piter hickman on board lap on BMW HP4. )
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.
"Next thing I know I was in Hospital..." Jim Gaffigan wasn't lying.
3.24, why is he doing that she said, well he's racing the track in his head.
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.
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
Would be awesome if you guys could check out planet moto episode 1, awesome vid guys
And the guy talking goes of a cliff 150mls+
I race in it
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.
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.
You should like you are from the UK. If that is true, how have you not heard of this race?
I watch this every May. Checkout the northwest also. Pikes peak race also.
Check out GUY MARTIN at the IOMTT.
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.
Somebody send them an adaptor ...2 into 1 headphone adapter.
She won't let you ride a motorcycle in that event. Lol these are Professionals motorcycle racers. Can you stop saying that. He is not a professional motorcycle racer.
I can hear the fake accent going in it's funny af. prb hat ur b aning for as well
£2000 per lap.
There are much better Isle of Man videos out there. TT= Tourist trophy
There is very little prize money (compared to other sports) for the Isle of Man TT - it is really about bragging rights and proving yourself - the Teams probably kick down to their riders (as they reap a healthy benefit of saying their bike won the class they were in) - but, I have read that the total purse for the race (all races, all classes) is about £57,000
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 RUclips 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.
My uncle died in this race back in the 40s
Average 2 deaths per yr
