Long time fan. I don't think there are any other racing venues that have claimed as many lives as Isle of Man.

From Wiki:
Between 1907 and 2009 (at the end of 2009 TT races period) there have been 237 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course (this number includes the riders killed during Manx Grand Prix and the Clubman TT races).

The wheelie through the corner on the MC vid right before the 4 minute mark....bitchen!

The end of the Subaru vid explain and showing all the views of him gathering the car up at that speed.....nuts!
