The Isle of Mann TT is an outlier even among motorcycle racing.


Beat me to it. In my experience, racing at a well-equipped track like Sonoma (nee Sears Point) is safer than riding on the street. Everyone is going the same direction, no car is going to try to make a U-turn right in front of you, and all of the obstructions are padded. In the four years I raced at Sears Point, we only had one fatality.


Indeed. I believe Isle of Mann averages just over one fatality per year. Insanity.
