2019 Isle of Man TT Prize Breakdown — 2019 Isle of Man TT Winners’ Payouts

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/

The 2019 Isle of Man TT is quickly approaching and it is now only a couple of months of away.

The TT Races are often described as the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ – which then leads to the question ‘how much does this greatest show pay its winners?’

Since 2017 I have been asking and answering this question on this blog – each year I manage to gather a little more information to pass around and this year is no different.

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.

This year I bring you everything – it all – every bit of information made available to the competitors in the Regulations Handbook.

Have a read – it is full of really interesting information, but if all you came here for is the TT Races Prize Breakdown I can bring you that straight away…

2019 Isle of Man TT Schedule : Practice and Race Programme (UPDATED 31/05/2019)

May 31, 2019January 28, 2019 by TomBoyNI

THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES 2019 :

Important Update : 31st May 2019 : Inclement weather continues to torture this year’s practice and qualifying sessions. Seven days in and we have only had bikes on the course on Sunday and Tuesday. Double practice sessions were scheduled for Thursday, the weather resulted in both being cancelled. Now Friday’s double session is postponed and we will not see bikes on the track until at least 3pm (15:00 local time).

The resulting knockoffs will now certainly affect race week. The racing on Saturday 1st June 2019 has been replaced with a qualifying / practice schedule and Sunday may be the first race day. It could be a very busy week ahead.

Make sure to follow the below Social Media Accounts and Web sites to stay up to date with changes as they are so fluid.

Important Update : 27th May 2019 : Inclement weather is playing havoc with the planned sessions. Saturday has been rescheduled to Sunday, now Monday’s session will be held on Tuesday.

2019 will see the return to the Mountain Course of the 2018 record breakers: Dean Harrison and Peter Hickman. In perfect conditions they pushed the lap record to over 134mph and finally to 135.452mph – making the Isle of Man TT the fastest road race on the planet. Can they go faster in 2019? Can John McGuinness, Michael Dunlop or Ian Hutchinson handle their pace? With the countdown underway, the answers draw closer!

2018 Classic TT Results

September 4, 2018 by TomBoyNI

The sessions did get run. Extra road closures were put in place to maximise the competitors’ time on the circuit and as usual the organisers, Marshals, Medical Staff… all had to step up in difficult circumstances. They all did and as you can see from the results and timings below we got some excellent racing.

John McGuinness made his debut back in competitive racing (following his 2017 North West 200 crash) showing that without doubt he has still got it – taking the win in the Senior Classic on the Paton and also taking the fastest lap at an average speed of 110.676 mph.

Dean Harrison continued with the form he had from earlier this year in the Isle of Man at the TT Races taking the Superbike win with a fastest lap of 126.041 mph.

STATEMENT ISSUED ON BEHALF OF THE MANX MOTOR CYCLE CLUB : Alan Jackson

August 24, 2018 by TomBoyNI

RIP Alan Jackson. Ride free.

Another terrible loss of a supremely well thought of and experienced racer.

The Manx Motor Cycle Club regrets to confirm that Alan ‘Bud’ Jackson, 62, from Kendal, Cumbria died today following an accident during last night’s qualifying session for the Classic TT Races on the Isle of Man. The incident occurred at the Creg Ny Baa during last night’s Senior Classic TT session.

Alan was a very experienced competitor on the TT Mountain Course. He made his debut in the 1979 Manx Grand Prix and has four race wins to his name – the 1986 MGP Junior Race, the 1991 Classic Lightweight MGP, the 1995 Classic Lightweight MGP and the 1998 Classic Lightweight MGP as well as six other MGP podiums. He also competed in the TT Races and had a highest finish of fifth place in the 1990 Ultra Lightweight TT.

The Manx Motor Cycle Club wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Alan’s wife Elaine, son Paul, daughter Emma and his other family members and friends.
