Isle of Man TTThe Isle of Man TT or Tourist Trophy races are an annual motorcycle racing event run on the Isle of Man in May and June of most years since its inaugural race in 1907. The event begins on the UK Spring Bank Holiday at the end of May and runs for thirteen days. It is often called one of the most dangerous racing events in the world as many competitors have died.
Isle of Man TT Mountain CourseThe Isle of Man TT Mountain Course or TT Course or Snaefell Mountain Course or Elmo’s Mountain Course is a street and public rural road circuit located in the Isle of Man, used for motorcycle racing. The motorcycle TT Course is used principally for the Isle of Man TT Races and also the separate event of the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT Races held in September of each year. The start-line for the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course is located on Glencrutchery Road in the City of Douglas, Isle of Man. The clockwise course has a lap of 37.730 mi (60.721 km), from the start line at the TT Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road (A2 Ramsey to Douglas) in the island's main town of Douglas. After negotiating urban streets, the racing circuit turns right to leave Douglas at Quarter Bridge, then proceeds along the A1 Douglas to Peel Road from Braddan Bridge, through the villages of Union Mills, Glen Vine, Crosby, and Greeba. The course then turns right at Ballacraine on to the A3 Castletown to Ramsey road, firstly through countryside glens followed by agricultural land interspersed by the villages of Kirk Michael, Ballaugh and Sulby, finally intersecting with the A18 Snaefell mountain road after negotiating urban streets in the town of Ramsey. The A18 then takes the course back to Douglas through the highest point, situated after the Bungalow at Hailwood's Height near the 31st Milestone and the UK Ordnance Survey spot height of 1,385 ft (422 m) above sea level. The descent starts through countryside before entering the residential outskirts of Douglas back to the finish line.
List of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course fatalitiesThis list is of fatal crashes on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course used for the Isle of Man TT races, Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT races. The TT Course was first used as an automobile road-racing circuit for the 1908 Tourist Trophy event for racing automobiles, then known as the Four Inch Course. For the 1911 Isle of Man TT race motor-cycle races, the event was moved from the St John's Short Course to the Four Inch Course by the UK Auto-Cycle Club, and became known as the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, or TT Course, when used for motorcycle racing. Victor Surridge was the first fatality on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, after a crash at Glen Helen during practice for the 1911 Isle of Man TT races. This was possibly the first death in the Isle of Man in a motorcycle or road vehicle crash. The deadliest year was 2005, when 10 people died: three riders and one marshal died during the June race, and six riders and one course bystander died during the Manx Grand Prix in August/September 2005. Since 1937, the only season without a fatality in either the TT or the Manx Grand Prix was in 1982. The 2012 and 2024 TTs, which are raced by more experienced professional riders, ended without fatalities, but there were fatalities in the Manx Grand Prix, which is raced with amateur riders except for the vintage motorcycle classes that experienced professionals may participate.
