The Isle of Man Mountain Course is the most iconic and dangerous road racing circuit in the world - 37.73 miles of public roads, bends, bumps, and breathtaking bravery.

For riders chasing a place on the start line, the price is total commitment. It demands physical strength, mental endurance, and a race bike tough enough to survive the punishment of the Mountain.

Startline goes behind the visors with Radio TT and Manx Grand Prix presenter Beth Espey, as she uncovers what it really takes to earn a spot on the grid.

Series 1 follows road racers fighting for a dream - to qualify for the Manx Grand Prix 2026, and take on the legendary Isle of Man course for the very first time.
