Yes we did. Like I said, "hardcore fan ". We must be - getting there is anything but easy. No direct flights, and the ferries are booked a year in advance, even for walk-ons. We wound up landing at Heathrow, overnighting in London, taking the train across town and catching a small plane from the municipal airport that flew us to Douglas where we spent the week. The hotel had to be booked a year in advance as well.
Worth it? To us it most certainly was. Beyond the racing, the people, the fans, the racers, the teams, were all wonderful beyond words. It all has a real "small town county fair" kind of an atmosphere that just isn't found in other venues of professional motorsport. I hope to someday go back, at least once more.
