Where will the Isle of Man TT 2024 be shown on TV and live stream?
As with the premiere in 2022, there will again be a real live broadcast from the Isle of Man this year. The organizers offer a paid live stream on their website under the name ‘TT+ Live Pass’. The package costs 26.99 euros and is valid for all qualifying and race days. The sessions are accompanied by preliminary reports and analyses. In addition, detailed documentaries and background stories are offered. The TT cannot be seen on free TV. Motorsport-Magazin.com reports on the most important events in the live ticker from the first qualifying sessions.
The route
The race track for the Tourist Trophy is probably the most spectacular course in the world and also the most traditional motorcycle race track. The TT has been using the Snaefell Mountain Course since 1911, which leads along the coast and through the island’s capital Douglas into the almost uninhabited mountains in the interior of the island.
The 60.725 km long route on normal country roads, through villages and past traffic islands is only closed to traffic for training, qualifying and races. There are no safety measures such as gravel beds; instead, walls and lamp posts are used for the TT. Air fences are also used in some cases.
The races themselves are not conducted as a mass start, but as “time trials”: the riders start individually on their three, four or six laps, and the highest average speed (i.e. fastest overall time over the course) wins. The lap record on the Snaefell Mountain Course is currently an average of 135.452 mph (217.989 km/h) or the equivalent of 16:42.778 minutes. This best time was set by Peter Hickman in the 2018 Senior TT, where he also broke the race record and increased it to 131.700 mph (211.951 km/h) or 1:43:08.065 hours.
