Isle of Man TT Mountain Course: A Leisurely Ride Around the Iconic Circuit
With the IoM TT practice sessions just around the corner, enthusiasts can get a taste of the thrilling Mountain Course through a leisurely ride. The iconic Isle of Man TT Mountain Course is not only one of the most spectacular and perilous circuits globally but also a breathtakingly beautiful route. However, its beauty often gets overshadowed by the intensity of competitive racing.
Slowing down the pace allows riders to fully absorb the scenery, and that’s precisely what the TT Travelling Marshals YouTube channel has done for us. In their recent video, they took a lap around the course at a more relaxed speed, highlighting the changes made to the track since last year. These modifications include:
- Partial resurfacing works
- Updates to trackside features like distance marker boards before corners
The helmet-mounted camera provides a unique perspective, showcasing the stunning views, especially as you ride up the Mountain section. It also emphasizes the narrowness of certain parts of the circuit. Interestingly, the video also gives us a glimpse into the performance of a Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, comfortably cruising in top gear at 30mph.
While on-board laps from pros like Peter Hickman are always exciting, this laid-back ride offers a refreshing change of pace. For all the latest Road Racing News, stay tuned to Visordown, your go-to source for Road Racing updates.
