The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) is best known for its demanding 60.72 km circuit that winds through public roads, villages, and mountainous terrain. It tests riders' skills to their limits, offering a unique and formidable challenge compared to modern, purpose-built racing tracks.
The Honda Racing UK team returns to the circuit with which its history is intertwined for this year’s prestigious Isle of Man TT races.
