Well the TT race is just around the corner and I was wondering if anyone knows how we can watch the race on this side of the pond , be it online or cable ?

And just to get into the spirit of things ...

IOM TT 2012 will be broadcast on ITV in the UK - http://www.itv.com/sport/isleofmantt/. It should be broadcast on www.itv.com but that site won't work in Canada.

Here's what you can do though: unblock-us.com can be used to view itv.com video (among other things). You can sign up for a free week trial, after that it's $5 a month. I've been using it for well over a year now to get US Netflix on my XBox 360, so the service itself is pretty damn useful. I've set up pretty much everyone I know with it as well and they love it. It requires changing your DNS settings on your computer or router, and they have guides to walk you through the process if you don't know much about computers/networking.
 
Thank you so much for this link!! Wow.. I signed up instantly..

Well for the record it's not a VPN, it replaces your DNS servers. There is no impact on your connection speed, and it allows you to use services that are limited to the US, UK, etc.

Guy Martin had a pretty nasty crash there this year...check the fuel spraying out of the tank puncture:

Mark Buckley also died at this years race. Photo of him a few hours before the crash:

Guy was lucky,not so Mark Buckley as he passed away from his injuries... may he RIP.
 
I believe that crash of Martin was in 2010- last years he was running a relenteless black gixxer.
 
What is it they're peeling from their visors? I'm guessing some sort of transparent wrap for quick bug removal? Seems like it would be useful for non-racers as well.
 
Been to Laguna seca, Donnington England,Valencia and Catalunya Spain, Mugello Italy for Moto Gp as well as WSBK but i can say the Isle of Man is the most incredable racing i have ever seen. Have been 8 times and look forward to hopefully more trips there!!!!!!! It is definatly should be on the bucket list for anyone who really enjoys true racing!! Also at the end of tt week they have the Billowtown races on as well. Lots to do on the days off there as well..
