The IOM TT is anything but little circles!
That's why it takes 5 years to really learn the road - that's from the mouths of 3 ex-TT races I have spoken to.
Saturday 29th saw the first practice session, and a new-commer from France, with an International license, went straight on at Braddon Bridge at 2 miles into the course.
It's a slightly bigger version of Foggy's Esses on the Donington GP circuit; in other words an "S" bend and not srtaight on at 150 mph as he believed.
He did make a mess of the dry stne wall I am told.
That's on the back of 3 locals having been killed on the roads in the week running up to the practice week.
It is not without it's dangers.
Ain't that half the draw?
