Cutting-edge laser technology gives TT podium a spectacular pre-race shine
The Isle of Man TT is famous for thrilling racing, but this year there's something extra shiny waiting for the winners. A local Manx company has used futuristic laser-cleaning technology to ensure the podium gleams as brightly as the trophies themselves.
Manx Laser, based on the White Hoe Industrial Estate, was recently tasked with demonstrating how their innovative laser-blasting system could restore the podium steps to pristine condition ahead of the 2026 TT races. The company rose to the challenge, posting impressive video footage on social media that showcases their cutting-edge cleaning method in action.
Using high-powered lasers to blast away grime and weathering, the technology represents a modern solution to maintaining one of motorsport's most iconic venues. The podium—where legendary TT winners are celebrated year after year—will now have a backdrop worthy of their achievements when the 2026 TT races take place.
For visitors and fans attending the TT, the revitalised podium will be a visual highlight when celebrating the race winners. Whether you're planning to spectate at this year's event or simply curious about the innovations keeping the Island's iconic sporting traditions running smoothly, Manx Laser's work is a brilliant example of local engineering meeting world-class motorsport.
If you're heading to the TT, make sure you have the right bike licence and insurance in place before you arrive—so you can focus on enjoying the races and exploring all that the Island has to offer.
