Crnr2Crnr Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 IOM has always been the real deal... the guys on bikes are the real nut jobs and amazingly talented if they don't have to get scraped off the road with a coal shovel. also, a TT or hill climb and a 'race' are completely different things, time vs competitors. the Stig has his own YT channel and is a regular on drive tribe. here's a few things to watch you might enjoy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until his fatal crash, I followed Joey Dunlop’s career. Probably one of the most instinctual riders ever. He won the race 26 times. His nephew Michael is right behind at 25. Of all the crashes at IOM, the crash of Bob Prince was the most horrifying. He simply lost track of where he was on the course and came in too hot-going airborne on a dicey section through town. Wham, right into a building. Edited May 3 by ActionfigureJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they still do it, they used to do a kart race called the Manx Grand Prix. It was wild too. Racing 125 shifters and 250 super karts through the streets of Peel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 idk if you folks have posted or talked about this unit here, but it's quite amazing. faster than an F1 car in lower speed corners and rips in acceleration. Idk that it has enough battery life to do the entire IOM course though. crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
