The TT would not be the challenge it is without its level of risk and danger. In total, 266 riders and passengers have died on the Snaefell Mountain Course, which hosts the TT as well as the Manx Grand Prix and the Classic TT.
There have been 155 deaths caused by accidents in the TT alone, with 2022 proving particularly tragic as six deaths were recorded over the fortnight.

It's a tight track and with 37 mile long laps it must be tough to get into rhythm. |

The side car race looks like a lot of fun. Track lap records broken in both of the first two races. Pretty exciting action! |

All sorts or track records have been broken and no fatalities at Isle of Man TT this weekend. The racing continues throughout the week with the Senior Classic next Saturday. Such a beautiful place to race, so fun. |
