Isle of Man TT Races

[richards30]

We currently are about to start race week on the island for the TT races, anyone on here ever been? Currently having a near heatwave as well! First race was yesterday with Michael Dunlop winning again and unfortunately we lost a manxie called Dan Kneen in practice who unfortunately died in a serious crash. :-(

I did race week a few years back.

Magnificent experience and one I want to repeat ASAP.

Never been, brother in law used to race in it and a few mates did in the Manx GP, it's on a long list of stuff to get round to.

It's supposed to be absolutely manic over there in race week.

I went over for the Manx GP several times, great place. We got up early one morning and did the course with traffic on it, we were getting after it and did it in 35 minutes. Insane the way the racers run it

Went years ago, if the weather's good there's nowhere else like it for atmosphere.

Wouldn't worry too much about the heatwave - rains coming and that is much more scary. Got a relative who is into his bikes. Only races on tracks these days as he pointed out run off areas on tracks aren't littered with garden walls, telegraph poles and phone boxes. You have to be a special kind of mad / brave to road race - good luck to them all and ride safe
