The 2018 Isle of Man TT can only be described as sunkissed throughout.  Two glorious weeks of wall to wall, practically uninterupted sunshine!

Then the only thing left for you to do will be to choose your vantage spot for the evening’s qualifying / practice session. We opted for opposite the Start / Finish line. Even the riders opt for a chill out before the start of the session.
