Manx Museum to screen ‘TT Legends’ film

Visitors to this year’s Isle of Man TT will have the chance to see an exclusive film following the Honda TT Legends throughout the 2012 Endurance World Championship and road racing season. An hour-long special of ‘TT Legends’ will be shown daily at the Manx Museum in Douglas from Monday 27 May to Saturday 8 June. 

The film features highlights from an eight-part documentary produced by Gaucho Productions, which aired on ITV4 in the UK earlier this year. The Gaucho crew was granted exclusive access to the 2012 Honda TT Legends line-up of John McGuinness, Cameron Donald and Simon Andrews as they took on some of the world’s toughest motorcycle races – from the iconic Suzuka 8-hour and the gruelling Le Mans 24-hour to the super-fast North West 200 and the legendary Isle of Man TT.

The resulting documentary – which is now available to buy on DVD – tracks the highs and lows of life as a motorcycle racer, both on and off the track, with viewers getting an insight into the tears, tantrums and triumphs that take place as the Honda TT Legends team enjoys an epic season.

The one-hour ‘TT Legends’ special will be shown hourly from 10am to 5pm (with the last showing at 4pm) from Monday 27 May to Saturday 8 June at the Manx Museum in Douglas. Tickets cost £10 with all proceeds going to the following charities: The Rob Vine Trust, The Joey Dunlop Foundation, the Manx Museum and the National Trust.
