2018 Manx Grand Prix/Classic TT

[Andy]

Saturday next week the 2018 Manx GP fortnight kicks off with its first practice and the newcomers speed controlled lap on the mountain course.

Here's an introductionary video for newcomers onboard with Johnny Barton and commentary by Milky Quayle. Thought @SB83 would like this as well

Good thinking @Andy I'll keep it bookmarked for training when I eventually buy the game.

Lol.... Slow in he says - didn't see a lot of anything remotely slow.
Very interesting vid though. Thanks @Andy for posting.

Some quite good news on the tube today. Watch the trailer and see yourself

Excellent. Not that I will get much chance to watch a lot of it as I will be heading to Spain in a few days time for just over a month (in transit for a chunk of the Manx, not to mention the last minute things that take priority)

Excellent time zone to be in for watching it
First Practice to set off Saturday, 5.20pm local time. Whatever I'll get working will be my choice
