The Southern 100 Road Races is delighted to announce its support for the filming of Inside Lines, a new documentary series that will take audiences behind the scenes of motorcycle road racing, with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races chosen as the location for its pilot episode.
Titled Inside Lines: The Friendly Races, the documentary will be filmed during this year’s Southern 100, showcasing not only the action on the Motor Isle Billown Course but also the people, stories and unique atmosphere that have made the event one of the most respected and welcoming meetings in international road racing.
Hosted by Lee Johnston and narrated by John Hogan, the documentary aims to offer unprecedented access to the paddock, riders, organisers and volunteers, capturing the personalities and traditions that define the Southern 100.
Inside Lines will focus on the culture of road racing, exploring the friendships, preparation, humour, pressure and passion that exist beyond the start line.
Southern 100 Club Chairman, George Peach said: “We’re proud to support Inside Lines and to have the Southern 100 selected as the first event in what promises to be an exciting documentary series. The Southern 100 has always been about more than racing; it’s about the people, the community and the unique atmosphere around the event. We believe this film will capture those qualities in a way that audiences, both on and off the Island, will really appreciate.”
Lee Johnston added: “The Southern 100 was the obvious place to begin. It’s one of the friendliest events in road racing, but it’s also incredibly competitive. The access, the people and the stories make it the perfect setting to launch Inside Lines.”
Filming will take place throughout Southern 100 race week, with cameras following the action on and off the circuit as the production team captures the event from a unique perspective.
Further details on the documentary’s release will be announced following production.
