TT 2012 On Bike Laps Vol 1 DVD
Recorded during the 2012 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy, this
is a collection of complete on-board laps letting you experience the
white knuckle thrill ride of lapping the legendary Mountain course at
speeds approaching 200mph, with houses, hedges and wall just inches
away.
Volume One features five laps filmed during Practice Week, as low-lying
sun, overcast skies and slower machines add extra dimensions to the
extreme challenge of the spectacular 37.7-mile public road course.
Rising TT star James Hillier is first out, and a combination of forward
and rear-facing cameras let you watch him first shadow Cameron Donald,
then display his skills as he negotiates the 1000cc Kawasaki past slower
rivals on a lap which takes him little more than 18 minutes.
Guy Martin copes with glaring sun and sudden patches of almost complete
darkness as he weaves the Tyco Suzuki Superbike between the hedges on
his way to an average lap speed of 127mph, all captured by the
forward-facing camera.
We move to three wheels to join Tony Baker and Fiona Baker Milligan in
their Suzuki-powered outfit, the forward-facing camera allowing you to
see what the passenger sees as you catch – and fly past- rival outfits
on the tight narrow roads.
Staying with the chairs TT legend Dave Molyneux and passenger Patrick
Farrance offer an on-board master class in controlled riding on the
Mountain course. The forward-facing camera mounted in front of Farrance
captures a smooth, but fast lap – at an average of 109.958mph.
Finally Wilson Craig Honda Superbike-mounted Cameron Donald has a busy
day at the office, weaving his way through the traffic as he blitzes the
lap to record a 129.075mph average – and his forward-facing camera lets
you share the roller coast ride.
