Is this rider Mario Karting the fools that pass him? The first two pass him and immediately wipe out on banana peels!??

I was there last year.

It's the greatest motor racing event in the world and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

You have to pay to watch it live online. YouTube has daily highlights.

I have always wanted to do this as well. Looks like a blast . I may seriously look into it.
You rent a motorcycle?

Somebody has probably pointed this out already, but pretty sure the video you posted is footage of a video game

I doubt you can just fly over from America, rent a bike, and give it a rip. Insurance deposit would be sky high with the likely hood you’re gonna crash into a wall and die.

Not sure of the video clip you’re referring to but the answer to what’s quoted above is most likely no, this is not footage from a video game.

I’ve been watching coverage from this race for years and it’s 100% as insane as the video clips I’ve seen posted. You can easily find clips on YouTube from races long before video game technology was as advanced as it is today if you’d like

You can get TT+ by subscription for about $30 for the year. Great content, including previous years, documentaries, commentary, etc.
You can access it on any device, including smart TV's.
I'm watching on Roku live as I write this.


Qualifying now.

Races all week after today.

There's a 6 hour time difference from CST, but they replay the days events if you don't want to be hardcore like me. I'll be up in the wee hours all week.

It's very good coverage, but I'm missing being there. Already decided to be back there next year.

The course record holder had a little 140 mph crash yesterday

Yep. He's walking around in the paddock today, so good news. He won't be racing but formed a new team with Davey Todd this year, so I'm sure they appreciate his support.

He crashed last year while I was there during the Senior, but was unharmed. The radio announcement came across about 20 minutes after word got out of the crash..."Peter Hickman's team wants to let everyone know that he's alright and has made his way to the pub."

I don't know how closely you follow it, but Michael Dunlop is my guy. There's talk that he may be sandbagging during qualifying because his times/ speeds are off the pace a bit. He's on all new setups for all classes except Supertwin. We'll see.

Dean Harrison is screaming through qualifying. Seems like the man to beat.

Usual weather issues have the schedule pushed.
