ya, that is straight up crazy! Do you know the results of any of these crashes? I don't know how one can survive considering the speeds and surroundings.

"The crash in the field was Connor Cummins, a local racer there, and he is back in the running at the TT".

IOMTT is amazing.

This video of Guy Martin with his narration gives accurate insight to the course and speeds.

Thats insane! I'd love to go once....

but in the meantime I'll go to Imola and watch superbike tomorrow......

This is on my bucket list to go and see, It's the only place in the world this could happen, as there are usually a couple of deaths a year and it would be banned anywhere else.

A friend has race there and said the location, competitors, spectators, and overall atmosphere make for and incredible experience.

jocko124 10-02-2011 05:39 PM

Wow...Absolutely amazing. I wanna go!

the reason its legal to race there is because there are no speed limits on the roads except for in the villages, if you take your roadbike there during tt week you can take it round the roads as they make all traffic one way for the week, topgear car show often take cars there to test them, those simulater rides on hydraulics where you sit in what looks like a space age van had a tt experience and it scares the crap out of you when you think of the speeds involved, i met one of the racers (david jefferies) at a supermoto event he was running and he was saying how much he was looking forward to racing the tt two weeks later, he died in that race when cranked over at 150mph and lost it on someone elses oildown and hit one of those stone walls! he had no chance at all,

New slo-mo compilation from IOMTT. You could say the rider at 3:50 is on the gas!


intocarss 03-18-2013 10:00 PM

Nice find Siegaloo :thankyou:

Sieg 04-10-2013 06:34 AM

This video gives good insight of what it takes to navigate a bike around the island.

Love watching those! thanks for sharing the new vids. Missed the slow-mo one last time around.. its crazy to see how fast they are still going slow-mo compared to the world around him. The guy was taking a corner and it looked like he moving steadily, and then you compare it to the people watching and how slow they are actually moving. crazy.

It's game on at IOMTT!

A little primer from the man.........


Sadly one rider has already been lost in a practice incident.
