Despite the cancellation of the 2020 TT Races, we can still get our racing fix as ITV4 has confirmed that it will be screening six new one-hour TT-themed programmes during what should have been TT week.
The six programmes include three that will look at the Greatest TT Races in the Superbike, Supersport and Senior TT classes over the last decade.
There will also be three new documentary features; an in-depth profile of the enigmatic Michael Dunlop, a retrospective review of the Padgetts Racing Team’s TT performances and ‘the Ultimate Challenge’ – a unique insight into the challenge of racing legendary TT Mountain Course through the eyes of the leading competitors.
In ‘the Dunlop Factor’, ITV4 profiles the nineteen-time TT Race winner, looking at his carreer to date through race highlights and the eyes of his team-mates and rivals, who will provide their unique perspective on the maverick Ballymoney racer.
The cameras then head to Batley to catch up with Padgett’s Racing team boss Clive Padgett, who will be sharing insights on the privately-run Yorkshire outfit that has gone from humble beginnings to become one of the most successful race teams in TT history. 'Padgetts: TT Winners’ will also be interviewing some of the headline makers who have represented Padgetts on the TT Podium, including John McGuinness, Conor Cummins and Ian Hutchinson.
'The Ultimate Challenge', sees the top riders sharing their thoughts on what makes the 37¾ mile TT Mountain Course so special, including never-before seen on-bike footage of Peter Hickman’s record breaking 135mph lap.
The three-show ‘Best Race’ series looks at the best Superbike, Supersport and Senior TT Races of the last ten years, including dramatic wins, lap and race records and controversial results for many of the leading current riders including Peter Hickman, Michael Dunlop, Ian Hutchinson and John McGuinness.
