In 2022, Davey gave a solid impression by topping the times during the qualifying week with a lap of 127,49mph! He also obtained a place on the podium in Supersport category and a 4th place at the ultimate Suberbike Senior TT.
The Isle of Man TT Races takes place on a 60km (37 miles) course where riders and their overpowered bikes take incredible risks to try and win the ultimate prize: being crowned champion of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course. TT Isle Of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 includes the official content of the 2022 TT (teams, bikes and courses) and offers a unique and authentic experience. The game features 32 different circuits, including current and historical courses, nearly 40 Superbike and Supersport motorbikes and riders, and upgraded physics.
