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!
