It has to be on the bucket list of any red-blooded motorcycling enthusiast: a pilgrimage to the oldest motorcycle race in the world that just also happens to be the most insane motorcycle racing you'll ever be witness to.

Since 1907, the Isle of Man TT course has been the toughest combination of man, machine and speed in the world. While the famed mountain course has claimed over 250 lives, it remains to this day an incredible spectacle and celebration of sportsmanship, skill and freedom of choice.

There have been many highs and lows over the years but the TT is currently riding a wave of popularity it has rarely known, thanks in part to vastly improved TV coverage, making superstars out of the protagonists and bringing the action in high definition into our homes, no matter where in the world you live.

For 2022, however, the TT is about to become even more accessible with the launch of its own dedicated digital TV channel offering live-streaming of all the practise sessions and races, along with a host of other exclusive content.

The new channel, called TT+ will operate all year round and not just during TT week. Free-to-access content will be released throughout the year, including exclusive features, interviews, on-board action and 24-hours of archive race highlights. There will also be an annual feature-length documentary coming in Autumn 2022 and a multi-episode docuseries which should land around Spring 2023.

TT+ is also the portal via which fans will be able to watch uninterrupted coverage of the 2022 TT. Unbelievably, this will be the first time the TT races have been able to be watched live in its 115-year history: all other broadcasts have been highlight packages edited together after the races have finished.

The TT+ Pass will cost £14.99 (around $20) and will include up to 40 hours of live qualifying and race coverage, including all the pre-race build up and post-race analysis that goes with it.

The live show will be presented by Matt Roberts and Amy Williams, with Jennie Gow also joining the team for 2022. Gow is known for her work in Formula One, MotoGP and Formula E.

"It's an exciting time for the Isle of Man TT Races as the introduction of live coverage brings international recognition to the greatest road race of all time," Gow said. "It's been on my bucket list for a long time as a motorsport presenter and I can't wait to join up with the team on site and bring you all the action."

Roberts added: I'm confident there'll be some read edge of your seat moments that will really grip the viewers. The use of a heli-cam and curb-side cameras alone are going to drive the experience to a new level, and for motorsport fans around the world that haven't yet experienced the TT. It's going to blow their minds!"

For those who are old-school, there is also Manx Radio TT which will have coverage of every practise session and race.

This year’s Isle of Man TT gets underway on Saturday, May 28 and runs through until Saturday, June 11.

TT+ will launch this April and will be available at iomttraces.com
