    It never ceases to amaze me watching those SuperBikes accelerate out of corners...the rate they gather speed is just ridiculous.

    I really hope Guy Martin can do it this year. Still, only a couple of weeks and we'll know.

    haha i'd say it's just the camera man didn't hold the focus on the bike as he was zoomed in, must be quite difficult to keep in focus something like that which moves so fast!

    Cameras have autofocus these days, and pretty quick accurate ones too. Framing is still operator dependent...
