[note 2] This list includes prominent corners and other landmarks along the course, with names that are used in media coverage and by racers, spectators, and administrators.
136.358 mph (219.447 km/h) is the highest average speed that has been attained over one lap of the course, by Peter Hickman on 9 June 2023 when he won the second Superstock race.
[3][4] At jumps where most race machines rise clear off the ground, drivers of cars at slow speeds might not even notice a bump.
As a guidebook for visitors to the Isle of Man describes:Spectators gather all around the course at locations which have become part of road-racing history: Bray Hill, Quarterbridge, Ballacraine, Laurel Bank, Baaregarrow, Ballaugh Bridge, Quarry Bends, Sulby Straight, Ramsey Hairpin, Gooseneck, Verandah, 32nd Milestone, Windy Corner, Sarah's Cottage, Creg-ny-Baa, Hillberry Corner, Signpost, Governor's Bridge.
[8] In 2017, a bend was named after a non-competitor for the first time; Raymond Caley was a long-time shopkeeper with premises on the course at Sulby.
On A1 road, the course at Halfway House was straightened in 1962 by the removal of two bankings seemingly in pursuit of higher race speeds.
