World’s most dangerous motorcycle race, lockdown is imposed in the city as soon as it starts

Deadliest Motorcycle Race: It is said that hundreds of years ago some motorcycle enthusiasts started motor bike racing. Later, when the popularity of motorcycle racing started increasing across the world, it came to be recognized as motorsport. Today, motorcycle racing is organized as a big sports event in many countries of the world. Moto GP race was also organized in India last year which attracted the attention of people all over the world. Usually tracks are specially prepared for motorsport races. In this, full care is taken of the safety of the rider. The track is such that even if the racer falls from the bike, he does not suffer much injury. However, here we are going to tell about a motorcycle race event in which there is neither any speed limit nor any special track for it.

Popularly known as “Isle of Man – Tourist Trophy” (TT) this motorcycle race is known as the most dangerous motorsport in the world. This race is dangerous because it is not held on any track but on open roads. Not only this, this race is such a place where danger is danger and a small mistake can take the life of the racer.

A surprising race takes place in the island
It has been more than 100 years since the “Isle of Man – Tourist Trophy” started. This race was started in 1907 by some British motorcycle lovers. Actually, “Isle of Man” is an island country located in the Irish Sea region of the United Kingdom. It emerged in front of the world only because of the exciting races held here. With time, more people started joining this motorcycle race and it was transformed into an annual motorsport event. Now this race is organized every year in the month of May-June. This race is called ‘Tourist Trophy’ because it is the main source of tourism in this island country and every year lakhs of people come to see it. Today this event is attracting bike racers from all over the world.

As soon as the race starts, the roads become empty of people.

Lockdown is imposed in the entire city
Isle of Man – Tourist Trophy is different and more risky than other motorsport. This is because in this race the motorcycles run on the common roads of the island instead of the racing track. These roads pass through many hills, narrow streets and sharp turns. During the race, roads are closed for the public for 4-5 hours and a lockdown-like situation occurs in the city. In this race there is a sprint lap of about 60 kilometers. The racer who completes 4 such laps in the shortest time wins the race. The fastest speed of the bike recorded so far in the Isle of Man race is 330 km/hour.

Racers come for thrill, not money
This motorcycle race is considered to be the toughest race in the world. Because of this, many bike racers are obsessed with participating in it. However, like races like Moto GP and Formula-One, the winner of the Isle of Man – Tourist Trophy is not given millions of dollars, rather the racer who wins this race gets a maximum of $ 30,000 (about Rs 25 lakh). Many racers from all over the world join this race just to fulfill their hobby.
