Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Documentary
The Isle of Man TT is known as the world’s ultimate road race. For those who compete it’s a triumph of human spirit and ferocious determination, but what exactly does it take for TT riders to be successful on the island?
The new feature-length film, ‘Tourist Trophy’, goes some way to answering this question, providing a compelling insight into what drives this special group of riders to risk it all in pursuit of TT glory. The film follows several of the leading protagonists who competed at the 2022 event and allows us to better rationalise the TT mind-set through the authentic portrayal of each rider’s TT story. See the trailer below!
An inside look at the Mecca of Motorcycling
Among other well-known TT personalities, the film follows the determination of Mike Russell as he strives to compete in every race; the highly-anticipated newcomer, Glenn Irwin, who finds his meticulous preparation is challenged by the two-week emotional rollercoaster; and his legendary team-mate, John McGuinness MBE, whose 100th TT race start leads to some searching questions for the 50-year-old.
Directed by accomplished documentary maker, Adam Kaleta, ‘Tourist Trophy’ will be streamed exclusively on TT+, the event’s official digital platform. Subscribers to TT+ can now watch the feature-length film, and subscribing to the platform is absolutely free!
