OT - Interesting moment at Isle of Man TT

[tdskip]

Watch the amount of steering movement needed to catch this - and keep in mind he was going over 140 mph at the time.

Watch the passenger's reaction while all this is going on. He's either the coolest guy on the planet, or he doesn't understand what just happened.

Pucker factor on a scale of 1-10................11

That was great! Loved the driver sawing back and forth....
I watched a show earlier in the summer about the Isle of Man motorcycle races. Some truly scary on-bike POV video. Sad, too, all the participants killed over the years.....

Kevin, I saw that bike segment last summer, too. Very dangerous course, very narrow in the neighborhood areas with no time to react if things go south.

The passenger in the car must have been heavily medicated. Talk about cool-headed . . .

Why not post this in the pub or another general forum instead of it being OT in a Triumph specific one?

Not to take anything away from professional drivers in other forms of car racing, but IMO the rally guys are at the top of the pack for their ability to control a car.
