Happier diner Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 44 minutes ago, Max Power said: Speed is pretty subjective, going fast doesn't have to mean recklessness. I don't think anyone expected an incident like that to occur, they always did use a TM to fetch riders back, that was the procedure that had been followed and was well known by all concerned, riders, marshals, car drivers etc. History has proven otherwise. Sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paswt Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 2 hours ago, TomTucker said: its important to get fresh eyes on a scene. If you witness crash even as a bystander your capacity for rational thought is not optimal. A travelling marshal or course inspection team can take charge as they arrive with a resolution mindset. I've been marshalling for over 10 years and we've had quite a few "offs" , sadly including two fatals . The TM , on arrival , is then in charge. The occupants of the course inspection car have never taken charge and have seldom even turned up and/or stopped other than to pick up retired riders to return them to the grandstand. . I see no reason for a course/VIP car to have a 'blast' around the course. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 8 minutes ago, slinkydevil said: Cool, might have a go. How hard can it be?! Get your National licence first. Join the Andreas Racing Association, apply for your licence and start racing as a novice. A full season should get you your license. But then, you’ll need to go across to get your international licence. And you’ll need to finish in the top three of a certain amount of races (it was a long time ago - I can’t remember how many). After hat you can claim your international licence and sign up! You might also need to buy a bike. You did know that, didn’t you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is described as a "serious head injury" in the coroners report 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False rumours of decapitation at the TT are common though and have been for a long time. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
