Video Flagged Dead

How to drive (and win!) the Isle of Mann Tourist Trophy.

submitted by therealblankman

1 decade 5 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

In this excellent video, 11-time TT winner Steve Hislop gives play-by-play commentary on his winning lap of the Isle of Man TT onboard a Honda RC45 in 1993.-apparently the fastest lap ever captured on video. Hislop was killed in a helicopter accident in 2003 after winning the British Superbike championship twice and the British 250cc championship once.

Bloody hell! You have to be a special kind of crazy to do that.

that is an amazing vid. what reflexes! jeez.

Incredible. I wouldn't trust that the streets would actually be clear.

Put succinctly - Holy fucking shit!

Blown away by the sheer speed of it. And notice the almost complete lack of safety features along the track, insane..

It doesn't complete for me - he's mid-sentence... no more?

RIP Steve - you're a fucking legend.

Wow! Made me tilt my head left and right through the turns...

Upvote for 175mph bugs.
