It’s TT time again, so forget everything you thought you knew about racing. Forget Nürburgring, forget Monaco and any car races like F1 anyway – this once in a year event on the Isle of Man is the one to watch, and it’s the only type of race I am still watching. The official trailer in two parts is named “No Room For Error”, and that’s absolutely true. Have a look:
But if you want to get scared, and I mean really really scared, take a lap with one of them – in this case, with Davey Todd on his Honda Fireblade:
These guys are going an average of more than 130mph on their first day and laps, across the whole island, and through all the small villages, and that’s really bonkers. Love it.
Or watch the highlights of the first real race on the Supersports (600cc) which still go over 120mph on average over 4 laps (the winner had 124mph which is almost 200km/h, and the top speed of these 600cc motorcycles is about 170mph or over 270km/h):
Any car racing is Kindergarten against this… see more on their Youtube channel.
Like always, thanks for reading, and for watching.
