Back in the day when the races continued regardless of heavy rain, fog or whatever, Joey Dunlop might drop just a couple of mile per hour from his average lap speed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same Joey Dunlop who lost control in the wet in a race in Estonia, crashed into a tree and died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially they need three but still raced with two, because it’s TT week right and who could have foreseen a chopper losing its rotors in the mist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three for safety. The one which lost it’s rotors was attending an ‘incident’ on the mountain during racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 1 hour ago, Gladys said: Are they helicopters used for filming, or for safety? Noticed less helicopter traffic over my house yesterday. Bit of both. They used to have Special Forces medics onboard as injuries would be similar to those from an IED etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
