Providing the Isle of Man TT’s Travelling Marshals with the Fireblade since 2016, Honda UK will continue to be the Isle of Man TT Races Official Motorcycle and Car Partner as racing returns to the TT Mountain Course this year. The announcement honours the rich history shared between Honda and the Isle of Man TT, which stretches back over 60 years.
Honda UK will provide the Travelling Marshalls with nine Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblades including the SP variant, as the iconic machine celebrates its 30th Anniversary year. Several of the 30th Anniversary livery models will be in the Travelling Marshal fleet.
Eight cars will be provided by Honda UK for event officials, including a Civic Type R Sport Line, two Civic 1.0, as well as five HR-Vs for TT organisers to patrol the 37.73-mile course throughout the duration of the road race.
The 2022 Isle of Man TT Races Fuelled by Monster Energy takes place from 29 May to 10 June – check out the full schedule or racing and events in the Fan Park here.
“It will be great to see the Fireblade in action as a marshal bike in this legendary setting once again. The Isle of Man TT has been in Honda’s DNA for well over half a century and played a huge hand in shaping Honda Motorcycles, so we’re proud and delighted to be contributing as an official partner with both our bike and car products. The traveling marshals provide a fantastic service to running the TT as safely as possible and we're delighted to support them once again. It’s great to return to the island after three years away and with the Fireblade celebrating its 30th anniversary, it’s going to be something very special”, commented Neil Fletcher, Head of Motorcycles for Honda UK.
Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile for Honda UK said: “After an unusual couple of years and a break in the events calendar, it is fantastic to be back on the Isle of Man for the iconic TT with both our bike and car brands. The TT is an event with a rich heritage, loved by many loyal fans, much like Honda. We’re thrilled to be supporting the TT once again, this year with our all-new HR-V, Civic and Civic Type R.”
