"British Rally Champion Mark Higgins drove a standard showroom Subaru WRX STI saloon around the world-famous Isle of Man TT circuit in 19min 56.7sec – more than two minutes faster than the previous lap record."
"The previous lap record was set by another British rally legend, the late Tony Pond, in a standard Rover 827 Vitesse. The first lap to break the average 100mph barrier, Pond’s record has stood since 1990."
