Who holds the outright lap record at the Isle of Man TT?

Peter Hickman holds the outright lap record at the Isle of Man TT.

Hickman set the outright record in 2023 during Superstock TT Race Two, lapping the 37.73-mile Mountain Course in 16 minutes 36.114 seconds on a BMW M1000RR. His average speed was 136.358 mph, making it the fastest race lap recorded in TT history.

The record is called “outright” because it covers all TT categories. That is different from a class record: Michael Dunlop holds the listed Superbike TT record, while Hickman also holds the Senior TT record from 2018. Each class uses different machines and regulations, so the fastest overall lap is not necessarily the fastest in every category.

Hickman’s record followed his earlier breakthrough in the 2018 Senior TT, when he became the first rider to lap the course in a race at more than 135 mph. The record can change with future TT races, but Hickman is the stored canonical answer for the current outright record.
