I normally don’t post these kinds of thread but this lap is pretty special, the bike & car people will really be impressed by it.

Bruce Anstey going scary fast.

He’s doing a touch more than 60.

Hmm, I think there’s a bit more to it than that :)

i think so too. great circuit. don’t go much for the “crash” barriers though.

Been there a few times as a spectator. The hard thing is to remember 60 kms of circuit and whether to turn left or right over that blind crest.

2 minute excerpt of Bruce Anstey’s 212.9 km/h lap

i remember my old man talking about it, and watching the TT with him. he was a keen biker back in the 20s and 30s.

I’m going over for the 2015 IOM TT, if everything works out.

That has been on TV a few times, and yes, nice recovery. 7Mate in the afternoon frequently has Isle of Man gear.

Lol and the commentator goes quiet as his arse un-puckers

That vision is totally insane. I can’t believe they use that circuit, lined with trees and brick buildings. Must be an anachronism.

need an anal pressure sensor for the telemetry. or some “Plastigauge”.
