Its makers, Berlin’s Studio Kippenberger say In Loving Memory is, “A tribute film to all the fallen heros of the Isle of Man TT race since 1907. A look at what drew them to the race and kept them there.”
Despite its international renown, the TT is a relatively small event. One that does not enjoy the factory participation of any major manufacturer and in which most famous racers are not permitted by their sponsors to participate. It’s a weird little sideshow to the rest of the motorcycle racing world, an even more dangerous event in a world that’s already death-defying at its safest.
