I can't wait for this. I just wish ITV would up their coverage to 'as live' rather than highlights of the races. They've got plenty of time on the channel.

Don't want to sound like I'm having a go mind you, I'm glad that it's possible to watch it at all!
I'm of the same opinion.

I'd like to see more racing from on-board (so I can compare with my own efforts over the mountain), road-side and helicopter views, with less repetitive chat. I can understand that such a large circuit must be difficult and expensive to record for TV though.

Let's hope the weather is good....

I'm not overly sure on the local politics of the strike but yeah, proper ttish for the unions to call it for TT period.... shout union wkers!



Aye good people are good smile and there are lots of them on the Isle of Man, have experienced this sort of thing first hand lots of times.

One example: Last year The friend I went over with and I were waiting for a bus into Ramsey (from our digs out of town) so we could catch the Electric train to Douglas on Mad Sunday for a day on the beer....anyway the buses were every 30mins iirc, so we waited.....old girl in a E30 3series pulled up and offered a lift, she was going to the dump so we helped her unload, she dropped us at the railway station.

Lovely people.


I know, I know.... "cool story brah" biggrin
