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 been killed in accidents. The motorsport event, which lasts almost two weeks, has been canceled for the past two years due to the corona pandemic.
