Left : Map of the 37-mile island circuit Below : Shaun Harris on the way to his 2003 win the British Grand Prix moved to Silverstone . In his book ‘ the Magic of the TT ’, Mac McDiarmid points out that “ Certainly the FIM did the racing teams a favour . Most were already of the view that any circuit which took two weeks to contest , three years to learn , and stood a fair chance of wiping out the odd star rider had no place on a modern racing calendar ”. However , the TT races have survived the loss of
Grand Prix status for the last 45-years , and having been there twice during those years , and ridden around the circuit , I can attest to the belief that for motorcycling and motorcycle racing , there is nothing that compares with it , and apart from the current rude interruption by COVID , the Isle of Man TT is set to carry on as a mecca of motorcycle sport , and road racing in 2022 , and well into the future .
