Isle of Man TT

Check this out - a pretty neat documentary about quite possibly the most dangerous race in the world. Public roads, 200mph+.

Just for fun: Average speed around the track back in 1907 was 38mph, compared to todays 130mph+.  The track itself is 38ish miles long and riders have to do 6 laps to get the best time, with average lap being around 17 minutes. So that is 17 minutes straight, averaging 130. Imagine the level of concentration required for this. While there are alot of big teams involved, alot of the riders have day jobs and do this as a crazy ass balls out hobby. Damn. Over 250 deaths on this track since 1907.
