Context:

Box to Box Films has plenty of experience producing sports documentaries, most notably with Formula One’s ‘Drive to Survive’. This will greatly contribute to the TT’s plan to boost its profile, having aired its first fully live broadcast via its TT+ platform in 2022. It also produced an in-house docuseries last year called ‘No Room for Error’ that aired on ITV4.

Comment:

James Gay-Rees, co-founder of Box To Box Films, said: “It’s a great privilege to be working with these partners on this extremely unique project. The Isle of Man TT is one of the most visceral, exhilarating and unusual races in the motorsport diary. We can’t wait to bring this incredible world to new audiences.”

Coming next:

The Isle of Man TT races take place in June, before the projects go out as a package later this year.
