THE MOUNTAIN COURSE SPECTATOR GUIDE

Whether it’s your first time at the Isle of Man TT Races or your 37th time, picking a spot to watch from can be hard, with 37.73 miles worth of course to choose from.

It’s often said that the best place to watch from is wherever you pick on your first day, then a half mile further along the course each time.

But choosing that first place, amongst over 200 corners, 37.73 miles of hedge on each side of the road, might at first glance be daunting. 

So we’ve put together a whole host of information about where to choose for a day at the races, sector by sector.

We’ve covered everything from free hedge spots, to grandstand seats, to places you’ll be able to get food on the inside of the course.
