I saw the ad on channel 4 today, my first thought was that it's very late, is there any accommodation available or seats on ferry or planes or are late comers expected to swim across and kip on our beaches?

Have you ever watched any of the NW200? I watched some of yesterday's racing. It's awful, just about the worst motorsport there is on tv. The TT would be even worse.

It's a smaller circuit than the TT, considerably so, and it still makes for an extremely dull televisual racing experience. And the camera control room panic that is evident when any kind of incident occurs is almost comical. So there's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The Manx Grand Prix was streamed live last year by the organising club the MMCC. It was a great success for an amateur production, they had a ten second delay which sounded strange when the live commentary was overlaid but not insurmountable. This years event will also be streamed. The TT is going to follow this at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxb&b Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I must say GeeCee is late getting started this year, I wonder if he's ok. I'm sure if he'd died LC would have let us know. Actually come to think of it it's more likely he's too ashamed to show his face after his sick comments on the anti-abortion thread a while back.

It is broadcast live in HD along a different 200km route each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
