Features unseen photographs and much more

The TT has a new book which details the near 119 year history of the event.

It's called Isle of Man TT: The Illustrated History of the World’s Greatest Motorcycle Road Race by journalist and author Phil Wain.

Harper Collins had the idea for a new book about the races and it eventually came into the hands of Phil to write in March 2025.

Phil says his knowledge about the event helped him complete the work in around eight months:

The work was released this month and features unseen photographs, full accounts of races from 1907 as well as rider and team profiles.

It also includes a lap of the Mountain Course with Peter Hickman

Isle of Man TT: The Illustrated History of the World’s Greatest Motorcycle Road Race is available to buy at Waterstones and Amazon.
