At the Isle of Man TT, scheduled to be held from 25 May to 7 June, Metzeler will be represented by Guy Martin, Josh Brookes, Gary Johnson, Dean Harrison and James Hillier.
For this legendary event and to celebrate an occasion as important as 150 years of history with bikers from all over the world, the German brand has also arranged to have an exclusive village built - the Metzeler Village – close to the centre of Douglas, just a few metres from the race track and at the heart of all the TT action.
The Metzeler Village will be open for 7 nights from 1 to 8 June, throughout the entire Tourist Trophy race week.
The Metzeler Village will be equipped with new tents arranged into three two-person pods on the National Sports Centre rugby field, the most exclusive sporting centre on the Isle of Man which is located close to the centre of Douglas, just a few metres from Quarter Bridge Corner, one of the most famous corners on the TT circuit, and just a few minutes from the Douglas seafront where the main entertainment activities organised by Metzeler will be located.
All bikers who come to the island riding on Metzelers during this period will be able to stay free of charge in the Metzeler Village after booking on-line at the following link on the Metzeler website: www.metzeler.com/roadracing (while beds are available).
At the end of the race event, Friday 7 June, in celebration of its 150th anniversary Metzeler will be organising the rocking event of the 2013 TT season, the Metzeler 150th Ultimate Party at the prestigious Villa Marina Royal Hall on the Douglas seafront.
It will be a unique party with an incredible AC/DC tribute band, DC/AC and DJ set rock afterwards.
At the end of the Tourist Trophy, Saturday 8 June, the Southern 100 Post TT Races will be held which, for the period 2013-2014 will have Metzeler as the title sponsor. The competition, held for the first time in 1991, is laid out on a 6.8 kilometre street track and Metzeler rider Dean Harrison will be participating.
Starting from 2013 and for the next 3 years, Metzeler will also be title sponsor of the “fastest road race in the world”, the Ulster Grand Prix in Northern Ireland, scheduled from 12 to 17 August. During the week the event attracts an average of 50,000 spectators to
watch the riders fly around an 11.9 kilometre track at an average speed of 223 kph.
The Metzeler colours will be held high at this event by Guy Martin, Gary Johnson, Dean Harrison and James Hillier.
