Isle of Man TT 2022 competition results (updated 06/09)

Let me guess in one try how long ago you played any motorcycle racing games. A long time ago, right? Something outstanding and truly cool hasn’t come out in this genre since Driveclub Bikes. TT Isle of Man is a rare example of a game where I literally begged the editor to write a review. Moreover, in the end I bought it myself to prepare the material. The thing is that in the real world, along with many great car races, there is one no less great and, perhaps, the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world called the Isle of Man TT. It is held on the Isle of Man of the same name between Ireland and Great Britain. Its essence is very simple - six full circles around this very island. Each is 60 kilometers long. There is only one caveat - since the start of these races, 255 motorcyclists have died there.

It's strange that so far no one has tried to implement this race in a video game format. Now it has happened. On the one hand - literal delight. On the other hand, there is a bit of disappointment. Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly for developer Kylotonn. We'll figure out.

Anyone who picks up this game needs to be prepared for a very high difficulty. The barrier to entry is high - TT Isle of Man is created for people who, for the most part, have gaming experience exclusively in racing games. Physics here strives for plausibility as much as possible. Jokes aside, at first I did only one thing - I dropped the bike. Just like in life.

The motorcycle slides along the road at the wrong angle of entry into the turn, the angle of inclination of the motorcycle and the wrong speed. I strongly recommend playing on a gamepad, as you literally have to tap dance on the keyboard to properly control the position of the motorcycle. In this case, you separately control the motorcycle racer, the weight of which can and must be transferred forward or backward, which can significantly improve the traction and predictability of the motorcycle. Or lead to a constant breakdown of the rear wheel in the direction of an uncontrolled skid.

A motorcycle can easily “rearrange” on the road - this is when in a split second you find yourself on the opposite side of the track. At the wrong time they began to “straighten up”—the fall. Tilt the bike too much - fall. Wrong angle - fall. If you unscrew the throttle too early, you crash. In general, the physics here simply inexorably destroys your nerves. The gameplay is reminiscent of a fervent attempt to pet a hungry shark. The very thought of it leaves you limbless. In TT Isle of Man, any wrong move or even thought will kill you. Virtually, of course.

Here I can only advise one thing - perseverance. The more you play, the better you understand the degree of manipulation required with the motorcycle. The more kilometers you drive, the faster you take turns and the more successfully you can correct the behavior of the iron horse. At first, you dream of not being overtaken in a circle. Then you dream about completing a lap without falling. Then you try to finish not last. Then - at least in the top three. As a result, you reach your victory for the first time. The achievement is shown, but you don’t care anymore. You are in ecstasy.

This is a huge plus of TT Isle of Man - hardcore, competitive spirit and an incredible challenge from the game to you. Don't forget that the circle here is 60 kilometers long. That is, you can easily spend more than two hours on one race. And all this time you need to maintain incredible concentration, endlessly tap the keys and sweat. But don't worry - there is more than one track here. There are many of them, and they are all famous. By the way, it is not at all necessary to complete the sixty-kilometer race. Start small.

If we compare the virtual track with the real one, then Kylotonn was able to make an almost complete and very accurate copy. And this is an absolute plus of the game, because many simply dreamed of driving the track, if not live, then at least “in the vastness” of their PC. Now there is such an opportunity. The route is very detailed. The houses, some columns, alleys of trees, natural relief, views and even places where spectators gather were copied.

And then the game begins to have quite objective problems. The main one is graphics. Yes, it is quite good, the picture can be pleasing to the eye. But the backdrops, which represent landscapes of the Isle of Man, can only cause bewilderment. Drawing distance suffers significantly. The spectators are too angular, the trees look like carbon copies. The picture lacks dynamic color correction and greater brightness.

For people who came not only for the track on the island, there is little content. There is also clearly little technology in the picture, especially in terms of lighting and shadows. Thank God at least the motorcycles are well detailed. The physics of the bike are plausible, but when a motorcyclist falls, he looks more like a sack of potatoes. There is no damage system. The accidents try to be spectacular, but they fail at all. Online is completely dead - there are no races at all. Apparently, motorcycle racing is only popular in my head. On the other hand, it is possible for eight people to play at one PC in turn, if there are so many people who are ready to train themselves for adequate driving in the local physics.

The list of minuses includes the absolutely monstrous interface, the absence of any musical accompaniment during the race, and the constant reset of the camera settings to standard ones. In the end, the game may freeze when minimized. And this despite quite good optimization, because during the game there are no technical problems at all.

It was a good attempt, but there are too many childish mistakes and shortcomings for a game whose scale is difficult to appreciate for motorcycle racing fans. Yes, all things being equal, the TT Isle of Man is still a great way to race super-fast motorcycles on the most legendary track. For amateurs, the listed disadvantages are just zilch, which they will not pay attention to. But for a wide audience the game is clearly ambiguous and will not justify its money under any circumstances.

June 2, Superbike class:

Michael Dunlop took his 16th Isle of Man victory by winning the RST Superbike race in the 2018 Tourist Trophy.

The BMW Tyco driver won by a comfortable margin after his main rival Dean Harrison retired on the fourth lap. Dean set the record on the first lap and rode very well.

In the Glen Helen section of the first lap, Harrison led by a comfortable 3.7 seconds, with Dunlop and Hickman close behind. At the end of the lap, Harrison posted an incredible average speed of 134.432 mph, an all-time record. At the end of the first lap, Dean was in the lead with an 11.3-second advantage over Dunlop, and Conor Cummins came into third position.

On the second lap, Harrison kept up the pace and clocked 134.180 mph. His lead grew to 16.379 seconds. On the third lap Dunlop managed to close the gap a little, so the final laps promised to be very interesting. Harrison unfortunately retired on lap four and Dunlop continued at his pace to win. Hillier and Cummins took the remaining prizes.

June 2, Sidecar class, first race:

Brothers Ben and Tom Birchall won the first sidecar race of the 2018 Tourist Trophy. Due to minor delays, the event started at 16:00 local time. On the first lap there was a serious incident, so the race was stopped for a significant time. Both riders involved in the accident were conscious and were taken to the hospital. The race restarted at 19:00 local time.

The Birchall brothers immediately set to work and set a new lap record (115.702 mph). They continued to push the pace and passed 118 mph on the second lap. The brothers circled at an average speed of 118.69 mph. Dominating from start to finish, Ben and Tom Birchall took their fourth consecutive victory since winning the second sidecar race in 2016.

John Holden and Lee Cain finished second, 47 seconds behind the winners. Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes took the final spot on the podium.

June 4, Supersport class, first race:

Michael Dunlop set a new record in the supersport category and won his 17th Tourist Trophy victory. Post-race festivities were canceled due to the tragic death of Adam Lyon.

Michael set a new record on the second lap with an average speed of 129.197 mph. The Irishman broke his own record, which he set in 2013 (128.666 mph). Dean Harrison finished second. On the last lap I tried to catch up with Michael, but he was too far away. Dean took a big risk, which almost cost him second place. At the end Dunlop and Harrison slowed down and Peter Hickman almost passed Dean, but lost by 0.258 seconds.

June 4, Superstock class:

Peter Hickman took his first career win by beating Michael Dunlop in the Superstock TT. The BMW/Smiths Racing driver drove the last lap brilliantly and set a new record of 134.403 seconds. At the start of the race, Dean Harrison led the race, followed by Dunlop, while Hickman was in tenth place. Soon Peter sharply increased his speed and joined the fight. Dean, Michael and Peter swapped places constantly until the last lap. Eventually, Harrison began to fall behind the leaders. When Dean was 5 seconds behind, Hickman and Dunlop were separated by just 0.5 seconds. On the last lap, Peter drove a record lap and won an important victory.

June 6, Supersport class, second race:

The Isle of Man has wonderful weather. In the first Supersport race, Michael Dunlop set a new category record (above 129 mph), so talk immediately began of breaking the 130 mph mark.

In the second Supersport race, the speeds did not become much higher, but the event turned out to be spectacular. Dean Harrison took the lead on the first lap, taking first place in the Glen Helen section. He was pursued by Michael Dunlop, James Hillier and Peter Hickman. Hirrison, however, did not look back and extended his lead from Dunlop and Hickman.

The leading five drivers did not change even after the first pit stop. Dunlop had his own pit stop strategy, but it didn't help him much. A 30-second penalty buried all the Irishman’s hopes of at least a podium place.

Dunlop's penalty was a big help to Peter Hickman, who beat James Hillier for second place. The race, as a whole, turned out to be almost statistical without major changes or intrigue. With each lap the gaps between the leaders gradually grew.

On the third lap, Harrison caught up with Hillier, who was running third. They reached the finish line together.

Three X's took the prizes: Harrison, Hickman and Hillier. Dean Harrison won the Tourist Trophy for the second time in his career and set a new supersport lap record.

June 6, Lightweight class:

The Lightweight TT is a very popular Touring Trophy category on the Isle of Man. Initially it was intended as a training ground for the growth of young racers and beginners, but the modified format (4 laps with a pit stop) attracted the attention of top pilots: Ian Hutchinson, Michael Dunlop, Peter Hickman and others. Everyone competes on motorcycles with 650 cc twin-cylinder in-line engines.

The biggest surprise was Derek McGee, who started from 15th place. Maintaining a slight lead over Ivan Linten, McGee led the first lap. It's hard to compete with experience, but Derek continued to fight with the leaders. On the first lap, Michael Dunlop passed McGee on the Italian Paton bike, but he continued to snarl and raced very boldly. At the end of the first lap, Ivan Linten took first place, with Dunlop and McGee not far behind.

Ivan completed the lap at a record average speed of 121.603 mph. Dunlop and McGee also performed better than the old record. On the Glen Helen section of the second lap, Michael finally pulled away from Derek.

Linten should have won the race with a nine-second lead on the third lap. Unfortunately, he had problems and had to withdraw from the race. After a pit stop at the end of the second lap, the drivers were shuffled again. McGee found himself in front of Dunlop again. He led the Glen Helen section, but his advantage gradually evaporated.

Michael Dunlop caught up with Derek in the Ramsey section and never looked back at his rivals. The Irishman ended the day on a high note, setting a new Lightweight TT lap record of 122.750 mph. Michael won his 18th victory and is gradually approaching the record of his uncle Joey Dunlop (25 victories)

Michael Rutter took the final podium place.
