The father was the driver, his son was in the sidecar. Since last Wednesday, five participants in the infamous race have died.

“The loss of two members of our paddock and two people from the same family is really heartbreaking,” the race organizers said.

The TT races on the public roads of the British Isle, which lies in the sea between England and Northern Ireland, are notorious. Since the first edition in 1907, more than 250 participants have died. The motorsport event, which lasts almost two weeks, has been canceled for the past two years due to the corona pandemic.
