Bobbie Bobster Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 How can you have a tank slapper in a car? ...it's like a woman complaining something is a real ballache It must be your time of the month, RC! (assuming you're a bloke) Tank slapper (bike) = fishtailing (car) A fairly rough mapping as I'm sure the physics are completely different, but the perception is probably similar, i.e a loss of control associated with rapid alternate lateral movement
gazza Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 he did well to hold that, even said on video it was his biggest moment of his life.
spanna Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Holy sh1t. I cant believe how calm he seemed. Even said the "biggest moment" bit in a completely calm way. What a driver! Seeing that outside is what we need to see now! Edit: This pov one shows it a bit better. http://www.youtube.com/user/RoadandTrack#p/a/u/1/9jSYiU-JdRw :o

Tempus Fugit Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Mark Higgins Near Crash at 150 mph @ 2011 Isle of Man TT don't you read what has been posted before ?
pauld Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Cant of been that bad, the passenger doesnt flinch, not even one face muscle moves, talk about cool dude.
ade Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I was at the bottom of Bray Hill watching him come past last night. Missed him sliding due to location, but he was just starting to do something odd as he passed me!
Nitro Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 His moment at bray hill doesn't look that bad until you remember that he was actually doing 150mph! I've had a similar moment at 70mph, back end stepped/snaked and that was a fight and a half to correct, Can't imagine doing that at 150mph would need very good reactions and skill!
oscarmike Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 does anyone know if the footage of the full lap will be released please?
slinkydevil Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 does anyone know if the footage of the full lap will be released please? I believe Duke Marketing hold the rights to the footage (thats why there was no mention on the ITV4 program). They probably want to milk it, so expect it out on DVD before it's released anywhere else. I could be completely wrong though!

Monkey boy Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Cant of been that bad, the passenger doesnt flinch, not even one face muscle moves, talk about cool dude. Who was the passenger & why was he there? Surely gotta be worth another MPH not having him in there.
