Isle of Man TT 2023

[AgitatedPancake]

Yup, it's time for the guys with the biggest balls in motorsports to pu it all on the line, and hammer down. First race is today, but they've been practicing and qualifying. I'm not sure where to watch it live yet. The youtube channel has all of their qualifying highlights vids etc

Ditto. Absolutely insane, and pretty high on my bucket list as well.

Looks like Dunlop set an unofficial new lap record yesterday. That dude has been in the game forever, crazy stuff

 

[AgitatedPancake]

Hmmm $30 gets you the live feed for the whole week. Tempting, but I'm probably going to wait for the replays

I’m surprised that island stays afloat this week.

Used to be into the TT, back when joey dunlop ran and dominated in several classes. They still do side cars and shifter carts?

Side cars yep, but I don't think I've seen shifter carts. I don't follow it close enough to know the details every class though

 

[carslut]

i went to the race a few years ago, an asolute blast! the sidecar racing is downright mind-blowing.

 

[AgitatedPancake]

Dunno what you're talkin about, these guys aren't pushng those sidecars at all

That shit is the ultimate in trust and teamwork, if either the driver or the swinger fuck up they're both dead

Fixed.

Last race i watched was super carts, full aero and 250cc. They were catching air in several places.

 

[carslut]

ill dig around and see if i can find videos i took from the bar i sat on the wall of as these guys about took my foot off. good times, we stayed at a rugby club in a tent for a week was wild to talk with guys staying in the filed around us. most had been on a moto trip for a solid month living off the bikes. basikly wearing full leather suits every day 12hrs a day snow, rain and lack of pavement didnt stop them. makes my domestic riding look like full panzy stuff vs the core euro TT fans.

 

[Rerock]

I don't suffer from anxiety, but watching the on-board makes my heart race, my forehead sweat, and my palms clamy.

I tend to see something and say to myself "I could do that"; but not definitely not this. Those riders have my utmost respect.

Bit off topic: did anyone catch Guy Martin's video of him riding that rotary prototype superbike on YT? His reaction afterwards when he's all amped up is pretty sweet.

As do the bikes... At 190mph+ in some places.

 

[Gtrplyr78]

TT is fantastic. The size of brass balls those fellas have.

 

[Kurtuleas]

Those guys are fawkin nuts.

 

[Stix]

And half the guys are just regular joes. Plumbers, trades ect....

Not as crazy as those fawkers who race the streets in U.K. now that is fawking insanity

You are aware the the IOMTT is a race, in the UK, on the streets aren’t you?

I have been catching highlights from practice the last few days. Once pikes peak banned bikes from the mountain, we (the race team) talked about raceing IoM, but it never came about. I’m sad, but not completely sad. We had a ton of fun chatting with guy Martin at PPIHC though.

 

[AgitatedPancake]

Holy crap, yeah literally gives me goosebumps watching. Fawking insane.

Agreed 100%, especially watching onboard videos like the above haha

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

me just watching POV

I would love to watch this live one day

 

[AgitatedPancake]

Ok that's rowdy, and it's impressive that anything excites someone like Guy quite so much at this point

 

[bunk]

One thing i always look at are the fuel tanks. They are all oversized, some hide it well some dont.

Found this. It says it's a 2+ mile short course. No recent video, so it may be a thing of the past.
