Car: Mercedes 300TE (W124) Rep Power: 12   |  Isle of Man TT 2008 First pics from yesterday, first practice session - didn't have much time, though... Now it's peaceful    Now it's not          Audi is sponsoring it this year (well, the TT is named after this event so I guess it makes sense for them..), so we get a few of these whizzing around as well:      |

Car: Mercedes 300TE (W124) Rep Power: 12 | Hm..Doesn't look like much is gonna happen today - raining.. Might venture up to the paddock for a look or something. Some snaps from this morning, just for fun:  Mountain Road is one-way again like last year - works very well in reducing accidents:   |

First pic is the Horse & Wagon Jump - just imagine going over that and taking off on a superbike in top gear at 160+. If that sounds like fun to you, then you should apply   Some from yesterday's sidecar practice:        Last edited by amadeus; May 29th, 2008 at 07:56 AM. Reason: spehllling | |

Car: Mercedes 300TE (W124) Rep Power: 12 | Not much happened yesterday - all washed out by rain..    Looking better today - will see what goes... If you haven't been here to watch the TT, then do it! It's a must see event and unique in the world, expecially in times of the health and safety nannystate. 37 mile long course around the island, using normal roads. Zero margin for error, zero gravel traps or safety zones - just bikes and full throttle - oh, and you can stand 2 foot next to it and watch it for free

Practice yesterday and some from this morning:              Kirk Micheal - it might look like a twisty village road, but this is actually a pretty much flat-out part of the circuit. No idea how they do it....  33rd Milestone, Mountain Road  Into Ramsey:  Verandah - 4 bends taken as one in the race:  | |

Anyway, I digress. The TT is amazing. Was watching a show about it on !TV4 earlier, had a full lap onboard video with commentary from the rider that did it. Those guys have more balls than I could ever dream of having.

Car: Mercedes 300TE (W124) Rep Power: 12 | Just a few more from the practice session after the race. As if doing six 37 mile long laps wasn't enough, they go out again afterwards for some practice fun        |
