Legendary riders, unforgettable races
From the daredevil performances of Joey Dunlop to the modern era with record laps by Peter Hickman – the collection includes numerous highlights and milestones. The platform offers a comprehensive chronicle of the Tourist Trophy since the mid-1990s:
- 1995: The year was marked by the duel between the Castrol Honda works team and the Ducati challengers – a period in which the Japanese manufacturers dominated the field.
- 1996: Phillip McCallen set a record with four victories in one week, which anchored him firmly in TT history.
- 1999-2003: David Jefferies shaped this era like no other. With nine TT victories in just four years, he set new standards in terms of speed and dominance.
- 2000: Joey Dunlop’s last triumph: at the age of 48, he took three more victories, including in the prestigious Formula One class on a Honda VTR SP-1 – a farewell that cemented his legendary status.
New standards in the new millennium
