Isle of Man TT - the racing begins today!

[AustinN4]

Last weeks practice and qualifying are over and the actual racing starts today with the Superbikes: https://www.iomtt.com/TT-Info/Qualif...-Schedule.aspx

The Velocity TV channel does a 1 hour recap of the same day events each night at 11pm CentraI time. I recorded yesterday's, watched it this morning and thought it had very high production values.

Check your local listings.

Yep, have the DVR set to record the daily update on Velocity. Watched the Friday practice sessions yesterday, found the TT Zero portion concerning the electric bikes to be extremely interested. I doubt it will be anytime soon, but I do believe it won't be too long before we see these bikes participating in the full race (right now they do one lap of 37.73 mi). The fastest TT zero to was John McGuinness in 2015 at 119.279 mph; the lap record for the IoM TT was done by Michael Dunlop in 2016 at 133.962 mph. It's not that far off...

I posted the wrong time. On Spectrum here in Austin it is on at 10pm CDT, not 11. Check your local listings.

Agree, good call max. I still haven't watched yesterday's Superbike race.

BTW, today's races are the Superspots and Sidecars. Love them sidecars.
