I wonder what kind of an impact the weight of the riders' ballz have on machine acceleration, braking and overall handling?!

Spectacular.
Big brass balls is a weak description for IoM racers. |

That looks exhausting. Those are the only guys I know of that are so close to red line so consistently.

Always liked the old Joey Dunlop footage of that race back in the 80's
This vid is amazing. I couldn't even imagine going half the speed running into the sections with all the shadows cast from the trees. you can barely make out where the road is.

I'm so glad in this day and age of over zealous health and safety restrictions an event like this is still allowed to run

I tried driving the old abbreviated version in Grand Prix Legends but couldn't get through it without crashing even at slower speeds.

IOM videos of racing carts are also enjoyable to watch . Crazy speeds with no run off areas is scary .
