SHORTS: TT Racer | Guy Martin's Passion For Life | Channel 4 Shorts

Watch more of Guy Martin's Passion For Life now over on All 4:
www.channel4.co...
Guy is without question the Isle of Man TT's most popular competitor. With that comes unprecedented media attention, which is something he admittedly struggles with.
This short film gives us an exclusive insight into the man behind the leathers. For the first time, we see how Guy switches off to concentrate solely on racing at the most dangerous event in the world. While fellow rivals lap up the adulation back at the paddock with the fans, Guy strives for peace and tranquillity in his own unique way - painting a neighbour's house!
Guy's daredevil nature contrasts hugely with the satisfaction he gets from carrying out what others may perceive to be a mundane task. Only Guy is capable of drawing a parallel between the two. It's all about preparation, precision and flow.

[@605manuel]

this guy is a such character ..painting his friends house in the middle of TT racer

[@adamapplegarth3585]

Because he's a real person

[@willgelm]

"He deserves a TT title more than anyone else!!" I agreed !!!

[@127069]

every racer that risks all in the tt deserves the win

[@Jeroen3052]

one of his best sayings: " if you're not crashing, you're not trying hard enough!"

[@k.jansen8836]

Lorry mechanic,genuine person,legendary racer .. simply the best GUY

[@ChilliCheezdog]

This is how to live your life. With passion. Otherwise you're merely a spectator.

[@338borges]

Guy Martin great driver , great person.

[@matthopkins3340]

A top man who knows how to be humble when admired by so many, a man many footballer's would do well to emulate.

[@tonypate9174]

WELL SAID

[@mozarth]

He's such a character. Amazing dude.

[@mopedblade]

A combination of skills and madness is what makes guy martin a superhuman

[@Paintbl99]

Guy Martin is such a legend

[@alderinerush]

seeing his love for TT brought tears to my eyes....THAT'S CALLED TRUE LOVE STORY not some twilight bullshit.

[@ChinmayRoutisHere]

What a generous person. Every sports person should be like him.

[@bentyreman5769]

he's a real life wolverine LAD

[@BlandNutz]

"oooooffff that should have a risk assessment written about that!!" Brilliant :)

[@mikem2561]

Gotta love his attitude. I couldnt open the champers because i didnt win. I got alot of respect for this guy

[@JayeDee_Gr4]

Just an honest brave bloke , top bloke .

[@irishboy0909]

You get the feeling he was happier about finishing the house in four days than he was about coming in second :D

[@TessaTickle]

yes, he says "nothing to celebrate about coming in 2nd"

[@Channel4Entertainment]

Guy Martin's passion for the Isle of Man TT is awe-inspiring. In this film he gives some beautiful insights into what makes it so important to him, including why he didn't open his Champagne on the podium. Take a look...***** RNickeyMouse Naturaestrema.it - Extreme Sports & Motors *****

[@msh3998]

Channel 4 2:25 name of the song please

[@Kel_Pl]

Pure talent and passion!!! No prize, fame, popularity is ever going to change him. He sticks to his rules and lifestyle and nothing is going to change him. A bit like Joey Dunlop.

[@assortedpov]

Finally. I've found our best male role model (actually the only decent one I can think of).

[@richardalls7538]

Guy is larger than life. What a class act. So much knowledge a legend !!!

[@anthonym0vdo132]

The man has a set of balls everyman would be proud of 💪👌

[@Hemanthkumar-sf6fq]

I dont think english language has a word which does justice to describe this man ❤️❤️.

[@lo666zz]

What a good dude. When he came to New Zealand recently I think he liked the scene here because our media is actually quite pitiful when it comes to motorsport coverage. I mean Bruce the speed demon only got a passing mention for his lap record for fucks sake. Guy Martin true honest salt of the earth man very humble and you can't help but share his enthusiasm. I only hope he can finally get the #1 at the TT he's been trying so hard for.. Keep charging hard mate..

[@mickyb8419]

What a lovely man.....don't think I have said that about a man before ! Lol

[@Schaaf]

brilliant short

[@ruthhh4408]

I've grown up going watching the TT races as my dads family live out there and it's just beautiful to see someone so passionate about it

[@Buckblacket]

He reminds me of a kind of homeless version of Wolverine.

[@chazzjocazzi6464]

yes....and with excellent white teeth. His toothbrush must race as fast as he does.What a Yorkshireman. Could be riding for the big boys and making dosh....but no. Wolverine does it pure and privateer. Such respect for that. Hail, Guy !

[@silverfox2358]

I bet hugh hackman wouldn't beat him in a race on the isle of man TT, guy martin is the real wolverine no question about it. I'd love to see all the hollywood actors try their best in a race on the isle of man LOL.

[@netleyned]

Chazz Jocazzi Hes from Lincolnshire.

[@tonypate9174]

Chazz Jocazzi may drink yorkshire tea but not a yorkshireman try a bit south and east

[@MissMoonAluna]

I was going to say that! Looks like Wolverine!

[@GrimmXD]

This guy has some character, loved watching his program too. Such a positive outlook on life.

[@morrisclearancecompany8750]

Not many folks like Guy around. Good luck with everything else you do 👍

[@Blahde]

I think Guy had more paint on him than the house ;-) So, apart from that, what a Hero!! Serious!!!

[@guymartinno.1848]

One of my all time heroes. Even i never understand what he sais.

[@PinkLloyd88]

speed?.....love it. danger?.......love it. crash?....like them. 😁😁😁😁

[@novaturbkkk]

what a lovely fucking man guy martin is

[@Bravez]

Guy Martin, what a top lad, always looked up yo him!

[@Shubham-ol8pp]

no one is making me do it. If you gonna win you gonna push and while pushing things go wrong sometimes. i was dead happy for the team. There was no lack of effort on my part i was trying. Until you have done it you wouldn't understand it

[@ryanmoore1439]

Someone needs to sponsor this amazing human being.

[@Zopadiwala]

may God bless him...

[@lifelong5425]

This man does not understand that he is a true ambassador to humanity, as he understates what multitudes would never get near in their wildest dreams. The more I watch this man do "stuff"....the more it amazes me.

[@vellotrol]

1:08 Very humble coming from him and somehow agree with him but TT rider are a especial breed of humans fro sure.

[@dannymcretrogamesartwork448]

Great vid, great bloke, reading his autobiography at the moment, so down to earth and an amazing rider. keep it up Guy!

[@westnipp8355]

"ohh, they should have a risk assessment written about that." lol!

[@forzavale8209]

yes, he mentioned that paint house job in his autobiography book.. he is star on a track but somehow take that part time job.. i really can't understand this guy but i love him for whatever reason it's..

[@gary9732]

what a great bloke guy martin is he says it how it is

[@josebraga78]

God bless you Guy

[@Shubham-ol8pp]

God bless him!

[@scootjockey]

Death imminent, Speed Awsome, Crash inevitable.

[@Korgps3200]

+Alphonse Gabriel Yeah great answer of such important themes.

[@rudysandoval3575]

The absolute best.

[@harshikesar315]

Guy martin is a greatest person rider on earth

[@duanemcdaniel3721]

It's in the eyes!!

[@looneyirish007]

im a joey & micheal dunlop fan since i can remember, and martin mc guinness , but guy is such a chilled out guy,

[@DylPhil7]

I don’t think there’s a word in the English language, to do justice for how I feel about Guy Martin.

[@DallyLRUFC]

Let the dog wag its tail... what a boy

[@MrMcdMafia]

Top guy.

[@mickygblue]

he sum's it up like i knew he would..

[@martynfalconer3349]

This is even better with the subtitles on

[@gd109]

SOME DAY I WISH TO MEET THIS PERSON FACE TO FACE - ITS A DREAM FOR ME -

[@guymartinfan7391]

sounak naha Totally agree! I'd love to shake his hand , he seems like such a great , simple person.

[@miguelhimschoot2801]

[@digisuboob]

[@kumaranheran2888]

GUY MARTIN U ARE MY HERO 1🏍🏍🏍🛣🛣🛣💯💯💯💯💯

[@1200rexer]

I love this guy i hes a top bloke, i hope he gets a tt win next year

[@GrimmXD]

He needs to win it this year. Deserves it! Oh look I was here 3 months ago ha xD

[@alex_IT_4164]

Please..give him subtitles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥😎

[@willfarts1249]

hes amazing

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Awesome.

[@navnig]

Probably the fastest guy to have never won the TT but I think, if he does win it then it'll be damn impossible to get the trophy off him.

[@richardsouth5918]

He so machanical minded he whould build wings for his jet engine and fly away with it 🤣

[@71spaceman]

Don't get me wrong here. I think Guy is absolute inspirational. He should give motivational speeches.But that upward view at 7.00 is definitely Choi-Barker.

[@dsofe4879]

The fact that he's going to be hosting Top Gear in the future gives me a little bit of hope that maybe the show may not be dead after all. If anyone can do it, its this guy.

[@ItsRyan.]

nj4ck It's dead mate without Clarkson Hammond and May

[@dsofe4879]

ryan1540 its dead the way we know it, of course. They would have to fundamentally change the show to make it work with Guy Martin anyway, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Let's face it, Clarkson, Hammond and May aren't coming back. I'm not going to sit here and dwell on the past, I'd rather have a totally new kind of Top Gear than no Top Gear at all.

[@ItsRyan.]

Untill Jeremy Richard and James come with there own show away from the bbc which is going to happen... Guaranteed

[@dsofe4879]

ryan1540 I think we need to stop looking at it as a replacement for Jeremy, Richard and James, and instead look at it is something entirely new. If the new top gear manages to be a good show, I don't see why it couldn't co-exist with whatever Jeremy, Richard and James end up doing.

[@Sruikyl]

nj4ck Him hosting top gear is NOT a fact. It's tabloid speculation.

[@shellybelly35]

guy is a legend ;D

[@bassandcodfishing1]

The word you are looking for Guy is (Unique)...............

[@BlightAC]

+Ivon Coles I would've gone for exhilarating. Unique doesn't quite grab the excitement of it.

[@johnnysheridan]

The difficulty of 'understanding' Guy Martin isn't his accent, what you hear is his though process via his speech, his thought process is always so quick and always 'on' so even during sentences you constantly hear him readjusting mid-sentence many times over..so if you can't understand him....well! 😂

[@tmcmellon]

He's a bad ass son of a bitch, balls of steel.

[@Johnpatrickleeds9]

guy should be on top gear real down to earth guy.

[@vrccb]

This divine man would be considerably improved by a good haircut and the loss of those appalling sideburns. Otherwise he is simply sublime!

[@ReaIDeaI1]

Please someone help, at 1:50 Guy is wearing that pink Corsa helmet. Is that for sale anywhere? I have his replica black and yellow Corsa but I love the look of that pink one, I would buy it too if I could find it!!

[@reecejames1]

If he didn't swig so many cups of teas he would do that house in 1 day.

[@joshbenford9243]

Legend

[@leecoates4082]

guy looks like wolverine hahaha

[@marcgillin772]

Everyone talks about guy martins accent me nan were from binbrook lincolnshire in the wolds she spoke like this😊

[@ririemarilyn]

i need Guy to paint the house.. that would be something

[@andyjamestf]

Proper

[@march11stoneytony]

"I don't know if the English language has a word to do the tt justice"

[@maksum3]

Well, he crafted the right sentence to describe it.

[@tremulant2388]

Put on subtitles for a nice laugh.

[@silverfox2358]

Has he been on top gear yet? I would love to see him interviewed and score top of the leaderboard that would be cool.

[@mhks68]

THe stig fears guy martin!!!

[@tonypate9174]

why would gay bother with a sad show ?some men can do others just talk and wish

[@tonypate9174]

Tony Pate sorryGUY not gay!!! TYPO MISTAKE

[@mimicmimic5931]

He's the 21st century Fred Dibnah!

[@AANGE012]

except wolverine is not real,,, and this guy is!! kind of mind blowing

[@andylawrence6306]

I'm from the same part of yorkshire as him and I can't understand him!!! Top bloke though!!

[@stonednbroke1]

when did they move lincolnshire to yorkshire? lol.

[@ChilliCheezdog]

Jim Morrison on two wheels.

[@davidwang6791]

good man

[@NhanGordon]

He could place the wolfy-speedy-man if you ask me. Please reply :))

[@bluespig1]

Why the bullshit that he rides for free? He gets paid by Tyco to ride, he gets paid by sponsors and also has a bunch of deals every race organised that see him right for tyres and other bits and pieces. A lot more than most others, as he mentions in all his books.

[@okok-gg5fl]

Look like that guy will not drive ever again tt.

[@TheLMMish]

Apart from the fact that he is awesome, I'm having trouble understanding what he is saying 80% of the time. And I take proud in my dialect knowledge :-| Very funky dialect...

[@dickweeeeeeeeeed]

This is what he says,`ee by eck,ooh a therr what thin ooh a dunno flummer thip dagg be reet`

[@roks666]

Spidey Ham That bit got me in hysterics too :P Absolutely brilliant!

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Alhtough he's from Lincolnshire, i find he has some cumbrian mixed in. Although that could be because he's on Man a lot. And yeah I understood him 100% :)

[@Carlos_500]

Have 15 large cups of tea and all of a sudden everything becomes clear, meet him at his level ;)

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

My family are all from around those parts so I have no trouble. Non-Brits do often have a hard time understanding northern accents though :D

[@mateagoston7113]

1:32 Guy, what do you think of motorbike racing on Nordschleife? Is that short circuit racing or road racing? :D

[@benji3116]

If you want a giggle, check out the subs on this!

[@TheGofreak]

Im from Germany 19yo with no english parents or something like that and i understand every single word he says😅

what is the music at the vid's begin?

[@cjg971234]

Anyone know what the song is at 1:51 and 2:25 ?

[@JorgeBordam1]

I consider myself a decent english speaker, but I cant understand a thing Martins saying.

[@revman417]

Not your fault...his accent is North Lincolnshire...and his natural delivery isn't always easy to follow...

[@msh3998]

2:25 say please name of song
