Taking place on a small island nation in the Irish Sea, the race traces its heritage back to the early 1900s when road racing was outlawed in England, and racers found refuge on the Isle of Man. A single lap of the course is made up of 37.7 miles across the island’s road systems as the bikes tackle country lanes and city streets at speeds up to 200mph. It is the oldest, most dangerous, and arguably the greatest race on earth.

Alongside such talented partners as Plan B, Box to Box and Free Association, we are thrilled to help bring to life this amazing series.

We are confident that such an iconic competition and its’ behind the scenes will do so,” Pierre-Antoine Capton, CEO and co-founder of Mediawan.
