Just watched on 7Mate 90 minutes of incredible DRIVING at Isle of Man TT in 2011..There is plenty of it on Utube including the 150 MPH tank slapper..It is a 2011 Impreza STI on semi slicks doing the 37 miles in under 20 minutes.It was all to celebrate 100 years of racing there..Could someone do a link to UTUBE...Patrick

Yup, he's done well there. Just shows how much better a place a car is to be when that happens than on a 'bike.
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)

Awesome car control. Mere mortals would have put on the brakes and crashed.

The latest episode of Fifth Gear has Tiff driving a stock Subaru BRZ on the TT course. The lap wasn't as exciting as this one but he managed to get the BRZ in the air on all four wheels at one of the crest on the track.
