If there's any racing event in the world that can abandon all monetary interests and the darkness of paddock politics, it must be the Isle of Man TT.
The reason is simple: unlike other motorsports, the Isle of Man TT had no prize money in its early years; the riders participated at their own expense.
The sole purpose of coming to the Isle of Man was to use their lives to pursue the glory of being a "knight."
Many riders regard the Isle of Man as the final battle of their careers because once they get on the TT track, their lives are handed over to God.
In the history of the Isle of Man TT, nearly three hundred riders have perished on the track, not to mention the countless numbers of spectators, staff, severely injured, and disabled.
It's purely a choice between life and glory, with nothing to do with money and interests.
When you choose to challenge for glory, it's equivalent to putting your life aside.
