I had to look at the site to see what the hell "TT" races were. Now I know everything I ever wanted to and more about it. lol I know the course, the dates, the history, the past winners.... EVERYTHING ............ except what the "TT" stands for.

The full title is ..... >>clears his throat<<....
"The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy International Motorcycle Road Races"
Whew!! Hence, "The T.T." !!! The rest of it is just too damn long! 
The site doesn't convey the atmosphere of the Island at TT.. the rest of the year it's just a 11 mile by 33 mile, sleepy little Island... but at TT, the whole place comes alive..... population jumps from about 70000 to over quarter of a million.. makes the roads a bit busy LOL
At a guess, it's a bit like Daytona Bike Week, only with races and no sun! Glad you like it though.
