London-based Agency Mobile was commissioned by the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development to create the new TT app.

Running on tablets and mobile devices powered by the TT Races Telecoms and Broadband partner Sure the new app is packed full of features to really help visitors and locals get the most out of the races

Included will be local guides, events schedule, updates on track conditions and the weather, the latest TT news, and rider profiles. During racing fans will be able to access live timings and, once it’s over, the results.

Feeds will include youtube, twitter, facebook and RSS as well as live audio links from Manx Radio TT. Users will be able to purchase licensed goods including merchandise and Grandstand and hospitality tickets.

Andrew MacLaren, Chief Technical Officer, Agency Mobile commented:

"The TT is one of the truly great and iconic sports brands worldwide with a large worldwide following that is keen to access content about the event and keep up to date. Its unique location and infrastructure make it tailor made for an app that will allow fans to keep up to date with the action wherever they are."

Geoff Corkish, MBE, MLC Political Member, Isle of Man Government commented:

"This is an important step in providing relevant, easy to access information for TT fans both trackside and those who follow the event worldwide. It will also give us a platform to allow our partners to interact with the event as well as helping us to drive additional commercial revenue which will be invested back into the event to ensure its long term success."

The android and iPhone apps will be available for download from the 18th of May.


Not available as yet, as far as I know. Always thought it was somewhat optimistic to have an app like this up and running in such a short time after the announcement was made in late April.
