Isle of Man TT competitor Forest Dunn has retired from rac൲ing.

Dunn started racing 11 years ag🎃ꩵo and competed at the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix for the first time in 2015.

He debuted at the TT in 2016 an🔯d finished 53rd in🧜 the Superstock TT.

Dunn had been back to the Mountain Course every year 𝄹since, including this year.

He confirmed: "I started racing as a complete novice in 2013 with an aim to compete at the Isle of Man TT, since then I have raced 7 TTs achieving a 𓄧personal best of 125.4mph, competed on the Irish roads, raced in British national Superstock 1000 and raced the IRRC all over Europe.

"Unfortunately I have decided to call time on my racing career, there's many different reasons for this but they have all come to൩ a head and become somewhat overbearing. 

"I can't see a way forward to carry on competing at this level so I've decided to pull the plug and pursue the litꦆtle business I've been tryi𝓀ng to build over the last 5 years selling motorcycles.

"Thinking back I can't comprehend the amount of support I've had over the years from friends, sponsors and supporters. It's mind blowing when you think about it and it's something I will never forget until the day I die but enough is enough and I need to focus on making a life for myself and getting a bit of stabi♒lity in my life.

"I loved everyth🅠ing to do with my racing, the good times and ✅the good people I've met will always stay close to my heart but it's on to new challenges and new pastures.

"Thank you to everyone that helped a little labourer from Cornwall achieve his dreams and comp♍ete in a sport I could only dream 🍌of as a young lad."

Dunn retired from the Supers🌠port TT Race 1 at this year's Isle of Man TT.

He offered a frustra💛ted reaction to his appearance at the Isle of Man, whi🍬ch was ultimately his last.

"This has been the toughest ev♓ent I've ever had in 𓂃11 years of racing if I'm honest," he said after being forced to withdraw. 

"We had two engineꦺ failures on the 600 🦩and a gearbox failure on the 1000 amongst a lot of other issues. 

"Unfortunately I didn't qualify for the Superbike races leaving me no choice but to withdra𝄹w from the 2024 Isle of Man TT altogether. 

"I haven't taken this decision lightly but in light of all tha꧅t's happened I decided that my physical and mental well-being needs to come first so I was better to withdraw, regroup and try again another day. 

"There was 🌠a⛎ lot of variables which led to this point but the main deciding factor was a lack of budget plus running older equipment/machines which just can't survive the battering they get on the island!"

He added after the 2024 Isle of Man TT: "Above all I'm ok and I will soldier on! I know what I can do and I know what I'm capable of but this ♊has been the biggest kicking I've had since I started racing in 2013 so I need a breather from it all."

However, Dunn has now opted to stop racing.
