Thursday Night Action at the 2017 NW200 Event — Thursday Nights Racing at the 2017 NW200 saw some amazing racing – really putting the event back on the Road Racing Map after a couple of tragic and difficult years.

Apologies for it being a bit late, but sometimes you just get busy.

The poor weather at the 2017 Isle of Man TT Race Meeting has given me the opportunity to get caught up on a few things I had let slip. You’ll be glad to hear the next gallery will be from the Isle of Man!

So if you are over at the 2017 Isle of Man TT Races you are right about now probably wishing for the rain to stop! Don’t worry it is going to – tomorrow is to be a lovely day.

However in the meantime to satisfy your needs for some motorbikes here is my gallery from the 2017 NW200 Thursday Race Session… (You’ll see it was soaked in glorious sunshine!)

Photos for this session were taken from the area of the Juniper Hill Chicane – maining looking down the Coast Road.

As with all of my photos please feel free to like, share and even use them. If you do use them however please credit me with the photograph – Don’t steal it. I don’t want to start watermarking my photos so if you do use it please – do the right thing.

Also all photos are available in full resolution, so if you would like any of the photographs in their full uneditted glory please just let me know – especially if you are one of the riders!

Isle of Man TT – Race Winners Payout

January 26, 2022June 1, 2017 by TomBoyNI

2022 IOM TT Races Prize Fund Update : This post has been updated to reflect the 2022 Prize Fund and Regulations. Find the details for every lap of every race right here : https://tbni.blog/2022/01/26/2022-tt-races-prize-fund/

With the 2017 Isle of Man TT Festival now in full swing, although the practice sessions have been hampered by fog and rain, the island is filling up and the atmosphere is growing! So come on weather – it is time to tighten up!

But one of the most discussed topics is how much do these guys / girls get for winning the TT? You might be surprised, but one thing that is very important. For the majority – if not all the competitiors it isn’t about the cash – it’s about the prestige.

But here it is the pay scale for the TT Senior Race :

£18,000 for a clean race win from start to finish might seem like a decent payout to many but think about the price of the bike, the transport, accomodation, fuel, tyres, mechanical upkeep… There’s not going to be too much left over for beers – and think of coming 20th – that’s an amazing achievement in its own right! The £300 would even cover the ferry!

Anyway as I say it is all about the prestige and these guys / girls deserve every bit of accolation and credit they get – they are at the absolute top of their game and to do it for the pay scale above really shows how dedicated these people are!

Keep er between the hedges and here is to a safe and enjoyable TT for all!
