Isle of Man TT 2019 Racing and Behind the Scenes ~ Motoring Nomad

The Isle of Man TT is a collection of motorcycle (and sidecar) road races which traditionally take place in early June each year. The fearsome 37.37 mile road circuit has claimed many lives over the years and it's difficult to not be in awe of the riders who reach speeds of 200mph, inches away from walls, lampposts, house, kerbs and many other things which could prove lethal with the slightest mistake or mechanical issue.

Below is a highlights video I took during practice/qualifying week. Unfortunately the weather was so poor that virtually all the sessions were cancelled, but at least we got to see some action. I can't complain too much - it was my fourth trip and the weather was great on the first three.

I also did some laps in my car and on a borrowed motorcycle, which you can see here.
