Standout locations

Key locations and features within Sector 5.

Handley's Corner

Tight and unforgiving, this S-bend takes its name from TT legend Wal Handley. Flanked by a high stone wall, the section demands respect and rewards those watching with close-up views of machine control and commitment.

Barregarrow

A steep, twisting descent into a sharp left. Barregarrow is one of the most technical sections of the course. Riders have to judge braking and line perfectly, and marshals here get a commanding view of this high-risk, high-reward corner.
