Irish road racing, Wow!

[stevedee]

Ok, picked this up of another site I visit, you'll need broadband to appreciate it but if you are bored looking at the rain watch these blokes, no fear. Looks like they get a good following over there from the media to.

one word, no actually 2 words,

crazy, awsome!!!!!:gob:

[jumma]

Dundrod is the fastest racing circuit in the world. There are places where the racing line is centimeters away from solid immovable objects like power poles and bus stops.

[SimJen]

Dundrod is a 130+mph lap circuit. Way faster than places like Monza where Bayliss only lapped at 117mph or so......and Monza is fast!
Going faster with bumps, whitelines etc.........hard men thats for sure, and most of them hardly get any money on the irish road racing circuit.

Braveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:yes:

There is a great article in the nov 2006 PB mag about this circuit. Some of the distances from lamp post etc are 140 mm:gob: :shutup:.

Thanks for the link:yes:

Wicked stuff.
Firstly an off topic question. I'm with ihug "all our speeds are full speed" broadband. There is no way it can download fast enough for me to just sit and watch it. Anybody else having this issue?

Back on topic. Damn you'd need some good suspension to cope with those tracks! Do they race cars on these as well? I'm picking they don't.... can't see many track cars turning a fast lap over those bumps

Mate download and install Google Video Player, after that go back to the link and choose manual download, (it is on the right of the screen and down a wee bit), let it start, walk away for a while and it will save the video locally to the hard drive, make sure you have enough space on your hard drive, it will default save to your \My Documents\My Videos\Google Video folder.

I'm watching the Ulster GP right now it is even better, but it is nearly 60 minutes long. Damn, the Irish race scene looks a lot of fun.

Cheers Stevedee.

:shifty:
Was that one of those fag Honda nanna's bikes that took the wins? In every class? Surely not!
:innocent:

[MattRSK]

I am going to work in Ireland for a bit. Just to follow those races. Surely I will not get any work done.

cheers for posting that. The air the bikes get and how much they move around going over those crests is unbelievable.

[BarryG]

Thanks for the links.
Bloody hell, it looks like they're racing down someone's driveway!
Cheers

If i can find it in my stash i'll scan it and post up the pics. I remember there is one in there of a guy with his head less than 50cm away from a powerpole at about 100mph... fuck that.
