Green area indicates Isle of Man TT Course

There are many places you can watch the Isle of Man TT Races.

GRANDSTAND

For the ultimate Isle of Man TT experience you must watch at least one session from TT Grandstand in Douglas. This iconic building offers unrivalled views of the start/finish line and the 170mph-plus stretch as the racers complete one circuit and blast towards Bray Hill and another lap of the course.

You also have clear views of the pit lane, where races have been won and lost, and the podium where the top three from each race will receive their trophies, laurels and champagne.

The TT Grandstand is adjacent to the paddock, where you can watch the teams at work and meet some of the competitors. The Grandstand is also home to the scrutineering area, where you can watch the machines being inspected, press centre, where the top riders are grilled after each race, and much more.

Behind the TT Grandstand you will find a wide range of refreshments on offer, toilets and shops selling TT and other motorcycle-related merchandise, including clothing, pictures, DVDs and more.

There’s also ample parking within easy walking distance of the TT Grandstand.

FANZONES

These have proved very popular over the last couple of years as they give fans a raised vantage point at some of the most spectacular parts of the course.

Ballaugh, Creg-ny-baa and Nobles Park all benefit from the temporary grandstands, giving perfects views of action-packed sections of the course.

Toilet facilities are provided and there’s good parking nearby – just get there early because they are very popular.

ELSEWHERE

Some residents, charities and local organisations will lay on special spectator areas and grandstands – for instance the hugely popular Braddan Bridge area – with great views and facilities such as toilets and refreshments. You may be asked for a small entrance fee or donation.

There are many popular areas all around the course with no Grandstands or facilities where fans watch the action every year – however, please note access to some areas is prohibited or restricted.

RESTRICTED AREAS

The famous TT Mountain Course is made up of almost 40 miles of public roads that are closed for qualifying and race sessions.

The list of areas where spectating is restricted or prohibited is regularly updated to further improve safety for fans, marshals and competitors.
