The
Isle of Man TT: They
call it the Greatest Road Races in the World.
I haven't been to many other race events, but
everything about the Tourist Trophy is mind blowing:
The bikes, the people, the closeness to the action,
the noise and the speed...
To
the right there's a link to some photographs from
my visit in 2005.
Below that, there's one longer movie summarising
the best of the action from both 2006 and 2007
(the Centenary). Below that, there are individual
clips from around the 37 mile circuit. The fastest
guys do a lap in less than 20 minutes. The average
lap speed for a 6 lap race is 130 mph!
