An F1 race in the old days was a treat.But a 22km lap at around 6 to 7 mins per lap sadly meant you only saw them about 10 or 12 times. The grey cells are failing me.

I was there the day Niki Lauda got his horrendous burn injuries. Took a long time for the emergency services to get to him hence the closure of the full course for Formula one

That bloke, whoever he was, was on the limit. I'd have shit myself driving let alone sitting in the number "2" seat. And I speak as someone who's had a few offs.

Check out on Google. There are boy racer days, you drive around at your own risk, can be expensive though.

I've done a lot of track days here, but don't have the car or money anymore.

The 'Ring was the nearest thing F1 ever had to the IOM TT circuit, 14 miles against 37 of course.

As the lap record on a bike on the Island is now nearly 134 MPH I have often wondered what an F1 Car might do in terms of lap speed?

Of course you would have find a driver with the balls to do it, don't think the current mob would be up for it.

I was clipped (wing mirror) by a car undertaking me at around 90MPH on the M25 Essex (there's a surprise) section November 2014; In retrospect I'm amazed I didn't shit myself. ****ing Subaru Chav - well I suppose we were in Essex...

Got to up to Boston a couple of hours later, hot bath and several beers later all was good, closest I have had to having a real bad one in years, don't suppose many bike accidents on motorways turn out well.
