What happened?
Was it bikers getting on the road preventing a 130mph time...

Yeah that's right...jesus you're a bellend.

It was an incident at Ballig.

You missed the tongue in cheek/whoosh parrot there

No, everyone lost interest and went home after the bikes finished.

Maybe you should have put one then, you might not have come across as a bellend. Again

[k-ink]

Shame it all ended this way.

Not really a conspiracy since a racer crashed and subsequently lost his life during the senior...

Opps didn't realise they'd lost him. I'll delete my tongue in cheek post as it might be a little insensitive in light of that. RIP.

Nailing my colours to the mast, I have to say having watched this: https://youtu.be/BquavjNg5H0 I have so much respect for what MH & Subaru have achieved. It's completely in the spirit of the TT, just a different type of vehicle. Hope they come back next year.

Was it shown on ITV4 at all? I think I (finally) saw all the episodes and only saw a slow blue one

Any videos of the full lap?

That's a great video!

It all seemed pretty calm. I didn't really see anything there that a properly fast car wouldn't go much much faster than that time.

Amazing how he makes that look so easy, I can't see anyone else beating that record for a long time.

You don't think the Subaru was "properly fast"? What car do you suggest that would be significantly quicker than the Subaru but still capable of hopping up and down kerbs etc?

I think you've misread what he said. Sounds as though he means that something with more BHP wouldn't be able to go quicker.

Yep, thats how I read it too.

Yeah that's what he's trying to say I think. Although I disagree, BHP is the limiting factor and Higgins even says it himself during the video. 20/25mph down on the bikes on the longer straights, will take a considerable amount more power to come close though.

[London424]

Apologies if any confusion.

Was trying to say that a fast car would obliterate that time. Only a 6 speed box, limited to 175 etc.
