La madre de las ‘road races‘ comenzó a dar espectáculo en la Isla de Man con la puesta en práctica del Tourist Trophy 2023. Habrá dos carreras que se añaden dentro de las categorías de Superstock y Supertwins dando un total de 10 carreras que comenzarán el 3 de junio.
El evento supremo de las motos, donde los temerarios y tradicionalistas se lucen en los campeonatos de ruta y se congregan una vez al año, se disputa en una pista montañosa con un recorrido de 60 kilómetros a más de 200 km/h de promedio.
El cambio más significativo es que por primera vez se permitirá el uso de neumáticos slicks en todas las categorías. Anteriormente sólo Superbike podía correr con gomas totalmente listas, dejando a Superstock, Supertwin y Supersport con las gomas que incluyen cortes.
