Real road racing, challenging, dangerous, exciting and the toughest proving ground on the planet.

Machines and riders are tested to their limits in varying weather conditions by the lumps, bumps, humps and bends of public roads.

With the tragic loss of nine times TT winner and lap record holder David Jefferies during practice for the 2003 TT, TAS Suzuki teammate Adrian Archibald was left to take his first TT win in memory of DJ.

With former TAS Suzuki team member Ian Lougher having moved to the factory Honda team on the ex Colin Edwards World Superbike Championship winning SP2 and John McGuinness on the ex WSB Monstermob Ducati there was no shortage of competitive machinery as the story of the 2003 TT races unfolded.

QB Carbon supported machines have enjoyed great success in the last few years, with both the TAS team and the V&M Racing team.

In 2000 the V&M and TAS teams used QB Yamaha R71's with great success, recording wins at both the Isle of Man TT and North West 200.
