    I think IoM TT is the closest to a Group B rally we still have today, with bikes, ofc, either way, insane skills from the riders!
  • @bipmix
    and they do 6 laps...there is a video where JohnMcGuinness explains what you have to do during one whole lap, every corner, every straight away, its brilliant. There is also one with Valentino Rossi riding a lap during a visit and he was scared speechless...respect to everybody who has the balls to go to the starting line..

    This makes me think of something Joey Dunlop said back in the '90s when asked what it was like doing the Isle of Man TT. He said that 'when you're going round there is a grey blur and a green blur...and you just try to stay on the grey blur'. You can rly see this in this video.

    Even if you were pushing maybe 50% as hard as this lap... the fitness level & strength required is off the charts. To push a bike this hard for this long is an incredible feat of endurance athletics, aside from the sheer mental fortitude required to retain focus and execution. It's just astonishing really

    having done 200mph on a bike in RL, on a 4 lane freeway in the middle of the night with no traffice around and no brick walls I can tell you its terrifying. This man is insane to be doing that and having to pluck the leaves from his visor and wipe the rock wall scrape marks off his helmet after the lap. Absolutely incredible
  • @Wickit96
    Absolutely! Anybody that completes the Isle of Man TT is a legend, but be the fastest puts you in an entirely different category. Having done the speeds on a open highway on my s1000, I could only imagine doing this while turning and having a brick wall right by me.

    I don't even think I could do this in a video game even if I had months on it
  • Having done 140mph on Cronkyvoddy straight at the limit of my talent and realised that they were doing another 60mph, just humbles me and raised my respect of the guys (and girls)who race there.
  • What I find amazing is his memory of the course. At that speed you're not reacting on the spur of the moment, you're thinking well ahead, which requires you to know the course like the back of your hand.
  • Not only one of the oldest motorcycle races in the world, but also the most dangerous. Over the many years this race has existed, it's taken the lives of over 200 riders.

    I'm clenching my cheeks just watching it, no matter how many times i've watch these replays the last 10 years it continues to blow my mind, the TT never disappoints and committed is understatement when it comes to describing the type of riders that participate ... Unfortunately its taken another life this year ... 46 year old Raul Torras Martinez will be sorely missed by his mates and his family, my condolences to all of them and RIP.
  • This is the complete harmony of man and machine, and I'm all for it.

    Beautiful.
  • Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop were both absolutely on it this year. Was truly a pleasure to watch.
  • @SDkd619
    Being a rider myself , watching this clip gets my heart racing . I cant be the only one.
  • @oneness8802
    I couldn't even go that fast on a video game without crashing omg. Insane madness, imagine watching your son or partner in this video!!
  • @Wesleym.b2005
    I live on the island and its 100^% worth coming over to watch
  • @Ninni30
    These people are not just racing drivers, they are absolute legends, each and everyone of them. Mad respect!
  • @mattsmith6108
    Lap set by my old friend and Neighbour Pete Hickman. True story
  • @robw7676
    As an ex-racer on 4 wheels and a roadgoing biker who has had a few silly moments, watching videos of the TT always raises my heat rate and makes the palms of my hands sweat.

    The most bonkers video of all is Steve Hislop winning the Senior in 1992 on the viscious Norton rotary.

    This is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m getting queasy just looking at it. Even the spectators on the side are damn crazy. One mechanical issue and a dozen of them are dead. Amazing video!
