In race terms, for me there is no bigger challenge than racing in the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man still holds the greatest road races in the world, nothing compares to a race over a lap of 37.75 miles on a circuit that runs from sea level to over 1000 feet in gradient and with over 200 corners. It is still the ultimate competitive challenge for two wheels.
Few realise that the races are supported by an army of volunteer medical staff who tend to the racers who are unlucky enough to not stay upright. All of the equipment and transport they use is paid for by charitable donations through the Rob Vine Fund.
The medical support provided to racers is coordinated through Motorsport Medical Services and they perform truly exceptional work to keep these brave road racers patched up.
You can assist by making a direct donation to the Rob Vine Fund here:
