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.

what about getting airborne at 160mph? Insane and boy he was lucky to regather that

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.

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.

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.
