The green and peaceful Isle of Man is the spectacular setting for the high-octane TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race, unquestionably the most thrilling, most demanding and just plain terrifying motorcycle racing in the world, held from late May to early June (30 May-12 June 2015). It is the world's most dangerous motorcycle race, inspiring passion and controversy in equal measure. By the start of this race in 1907, around 250 riders had died on the 60 km (37¾ miles) TT course.
The TT Circuit
The TT inspires more passion and loyalty than any other motorcycling event. Compared to the short, sanitised circuits of MotoGP, this is tough racing on the real public roads, with dozens of sequences to remember. The blind corners and the steep mountain climbs of Snaefell require years of experience to ride well; handling a 200 kg superbike of 1,000 cc and above around them at average speeds (lap record) up to 131.850 mph is gruelling, not to mention nerve-shredding. Should your concentration slip, there are no gravel traps to break your fall. There are only trees, telegraph poles and jagged stone walls......... More
TT: Closer to the Edge is a documentary film about the Isle of Man TT races. The film examines what motivates the riders who race the TT and risk everything to become "King of the Mountain". Filmed in 3D, the film is a story about freedom of choice and the strength of human spirit. The film follows the leading riders in the 2010 race meeting, in particular Guy Martin and Ian Hutchinson.
