STATEMENT: DANIEL INGHAM
The Isle of Man TT Races are deeply saddened by the passing of Daniel Ingham following an incident in yesterday evening’s qualifying session for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Daniel’s family, loved ones, and friends. We would also like to send our heartfelt sympathies to his team.
Whilst 2026 marked his TT debut, Daniel had over a decade of experience on the Mountain Course having competed in the Manx Grand Prix since 2016, claiming a number of podiums in that time, and winning the prestigious Senior MGP in 2024.
A popular and well-respected member of the road racing community, Daniel’s passion for the sport was evident to all that knew him.

STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES
Following an incident involving a Sidecar team during the third Qualifying Session of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, the Race Organisation initiated an immediate technical and operational review to assess the circumstances surrounding the incident and the continued participation of the Sidecar class at the event.
Following that review, in conjunction with the Event Promoter, a decision has been taken to suspend the Sidecar class for the remainder of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.
This precautionary measure has been implemented in the interests of competitor and spectator safety and reflects the Race Organisation’s commitment to reviewing all aspects of event safety and operational delivery whenever an incident occurs.
All sidecar competitors and teams involved in the event have been briefed by Race Officials on the outcome of the initial review and the next stages of the assessment process.
We recognise the long-standing history of Sidecar racing at the TT, together with the commitment of the competitors, teams and supporters involved in the class. This decision has not been taken lightly. However, the safety of competitors, spectators, marshals, officials and all those involved in the event must remain the priority.
Further updates will be provided in due course through official Isle of Man TT Races channels.
