The IOM TT seems like a foreign and unrelatable concept to many, and that's because, for most, it is foreign and unrelatable. It's a type of racing that's legal in very few parts of the world, where riders are set off in intervals, ride for 226 miles, and breaking the record for the highest average speed is coveted. That's a bit to wrap your head around if you're used to grid starts and take crossing the start/finish line first to mean a rider wins.
Or maybe you're on the other side of the fence, a TT fanatic. If so, today is like your birthday, and every holiday season wrapped into one—the start of TT racing. And chances are that you feel like a junkie who can't get enough.
