Hello Kasper,
A simple Google search and a cut and paste from Wikipedia later. hey presto.
As you can see the IOM is a pretty fast circuit, all 37 3/4 miles of it.
Cheers Zunspec

| Those guys must be a different species from me to average 130 mph around that circuit.

It's when I'm using the work computer.
Damned if I know why.
Or I could claim I'm going for the CB-Posting speed-record?

I must plead guilty to that allegation on some occasions - but not recently.

Good old Google. Obviously not available in Demark, do you reckon there's marketing opportunity there
During practice for the Sulby Straight.

we sat at the sulby glen hotel for TT100-the race bikes were passing about a foot away from us-dont worry-there was a piece of orange wool in place to keep the bikes on track-we heard from the marshalls that during the race the seniors were hitting just shy of 200mph down there-entirely possible
and that is rough down that straight!! with tree roots pushing the tarmac up all over the place,its only when you do a few hundred laps round the place yourself-that you realise these racers are precisely a different breed all together!RESPECT.
