Isle of Man TT: All you need to know about the 2024 races

Must read

The record for the most number of TT wins is held by the late Joey Dunlop with 26.

His nephew Michael stands just one behind him with 25 and will take part in eight races at this year’s event.

Current racers John McGuinness (23) and Ian Hutchinson (16) sit third and fourth respectively in the all-time solo winners’ list, followed by the late Mike Hailwood (14) and Peter Hickman, another present-day rider, on 13.

Dave Molyneux is the most successful sidecar driver with 17 victories.

Other famous riders to have competed on the course include legendary racers such as Geoff Duke, Giacomo Agostini, Phil Read and Mike Hailwood.

The 2024 race schedule will mirror that of 12 months previous with a total of eight solo races and two sidecar events.

Dunlop and Hickman, both four-time winners in 2023, are expected to be well to the fore again, along with last year’s six-time rostrum finisher Dean Harrison and Davey Todd, who has impressed at the North West 200 and in British championship events in recent weeks.

Qualifying and practice for the four individual solo classes and sidecars is scheduled to take place each day from Monday 27 May to Friday 31 May.
