100 Years of Sidecar Racing at the Isle of Man TT

The first sidecar race at the Isle of Man TT was held in 1923. In the 100 years since, heroes have come and gone, legends have been born, and speeds have increased from around 50mph in 1923 to an astonishing 120mph average for a lap of the fabled Mountain Course.

This video is our tribute to those who have pursued their dreams of racing Sidecars at the TT.
