I love this race. One of the most insane Races ever. If not the most.

We were supposed to go to Europe this year (pre COVID plans). I gave up riding on the road with one caveat I get to ride the Manx Grand Prix (newcomer class at the TT). Really bummed out the plans got scratched but hopefully it can be fulfilled in a couple years.

Such a shame really. I hope you're able to make it to a race one day, Tim! They're some of the bravest in Motorsports.

I think that's more gutting than my simple ride through England, Scotland and Wales I had scheduled this year. I've rescheduled for 2021, fingers crossed.
I might have to research that beginner's class riding.

Been to about 10 F1 races and had a lot of fun. To actually hear 20 cars on full song is incredible.

I'd also love the see the Isle of Mann TT sometime. I've heard that mostly you just see the bike for an instant, and like F1, you see so much more on TV.

This is a pretty good video of the TT.
