THE ULTIMATE TT RACE READ STEPS UP A GEAR.
As the World’s greatest road race, the Isle of Man TT gathers pace, so does the only magazine that gives the fans the full coverage and the chance to capture the event’s unique atmosphere… Island Racer 08.
Back for another fantastic year, written and published by those who live and breathe the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races, Island Racer 08 is the magazine which contains it all. Marking a special milestone in the TT races as the event moves into its second century, Island Racer travels with it. Last year’s celebrations are covered in depth, from the 1907 TT re-enactment, held on the original TT course through to John McGuiness’ amazing 130mph record breaking lap.
However the 2008 TT is all about the future, and even more high profile newcomers are taking part than for many a year. Island Racer includes them all its detailed Who’s Who of key TT competitors with feature-length profiles of both up-and-coming and established stars.
Island Racer’s unrivalled dips back into history include, All The Eights - a sweeping vista of TT history featuring the key action and aces every ten years from 1908 to 1998, including a poignant eye-witness feature on Mike Hailwood’s glorious return in 1978. A full portrait of the two-stroke return to TT racing with 125 and 250 races rejoining the programme, is in Stinkwheel Revenge including rider profiles and a comprehensive guide to the Billown circuit on which they will compete.
One for the anorak is The Island Racer TT Encyclopedia – race win rankings, past winners, fastest laps, lap/race records, marque winners, more facts than seems possible from any TT publication.
Of course, this can only be a brief snapshot to highlight what the TT’s leading publication is all about. The quality of the articles is matched by the design and images in this 132 page, perfect bound publication.
