I am going to enter, I spent a lot of my youth on the island and have returned in the past to compete, thought I might give it another whirl.

now that looks superb , and very tempting as its a min nat b licence
are you competing in all 3 events ?

bloody hell that guy in the caterham is mad thats going to hurt proper if you get that wrong in one of those:eek:

I hope to do all three, yes. I have done the two hills before but not the sprint. Did them in 2001 in a 911C4, bloody awesome. Mind you, the whole island is great, generally there are no speed limits other than in very built up areas. When I went over in 2001 I did two hillclimbs, a trackday at Jurby (which is obscenely fast but very dirty due to lack of use) and a lap of the TT circuit with the roads closed, all in a week! I must have some photos and video somewhere, I will have a look to see what I can dig out.

Get digging.....that sounds awesome

How about this as a taster, this is Peter Duke of Duke Videos (based on the IOM) in his 22B. Unfortunately the camera is mounted a little low to appreciate the roads properly.

Looks like an impressive event, that video with the Caterfield tho, holy moly thats just a big balls flat out run from start to finish, not much technique there apart from taking your brain out and keeping your right foot in!

Would love to do it, be an excellent trip, but Mini Blacky is due Beginning of April so it's probably out for me!

oooh that looks a bit dangerous love to have a crack at it though
but like most things its all down to the bucks so we will see

This is just the event(s) I plan to do.

Just got to find the right car...

Would you believe it but I am going to the IoM for the first time (on business) the weekend before. Bugger...

Just stay all week then Kim!

Any clues to what car your after??
