\"motorbike<\/a>Matthew Richardson explores \u2018The TT Races and the landscape\u2019 in his article in Context<\/em> 153, looking at the symbiotic relationship that has developed over the past 111 years between the TT Races and the island\u2019s physical landscape, in ways that are perhaps unique among the world\u2019s sporting events.<\/h3>\n

Matthew Richardson writes:<\/p>\n

\u2018The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) is arguably the most famous motorcycling event in the world. It is also, with the possible exception of the tailless cat, the most distinctive aspect of the culture of the Isle of Man and best known to outsiders.\u2019<\/p>\n

He concludes that \u2018While other sporting events have moved away from their roots within the landscape, or have sought to exclude its influence, the Isle of Man TT remains closely embedded within the physical geography of the island. Indeed, it continues to influence and shape the landscape from which it first grew, in a way which is perhaps unique in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n
