Racing is not an easy job. There are lots of risks and many TT racers like William Dunlop, Dan Kneen have lost their lives in the mountain course.
Unlike heavy funded commercialized races like Moto GP, the Isle of Man TT being a road racing has a very little monetary offering. Compared to the risk and challenges of the 37 miles course, the money seems nothing at all and the riders are out there to at least make one TT win in their career. Riders competing in the race are sponsored by companies for the bikes and other expenses during race week.
The total prize fund of Superbike TT race competitors is £57,400.
