...own a Honda RC30, close down all public roads, and GO FOR IT!
I've had Suzuki TT languishing on my shelf since I purchased my PS2 a few months ago. Popped it in early this AM and LOVED IT!!!! :up:
I received a proper indoctrination at "Gooseneck" :D Thankfully the Honda 125 I was riding was quite robust.
What a fab game. If the graphics are anywhere near realistic for this island I envy any and everyone within a long car drive + a short ferry ride of this scenic locale.

I was never there but I do fall into the "short ferry ride" category. I've seen some stunning pics of the place though :eek:

My first post on this site! I noticed your interest in the Isle of Man TT circuit and though you might be interested in this link - www.gpllinks.org (http://www.gpllinks.org) . This is the central site for the Grand Prix Legends racing simulation comunity and someone called Jim Pearson has done a lot of work replicating the TT circuit which can be downloaded and run in the simulation. If you check out the site you will see a reference to a 2004 GPL Demo and also Jim Pearson's Custom Tracks.
Have a hunt round the site and read up on things - in the end you will have the reward of driving a 1965 - 1969 Formula 1 or F2 car around the TT circuit. I have tended to shy away from bike racing simulations because of the lack of reality to the controls. Taking a single seater formula car around the course with suitable steering wheel etc. has to be as close to a real experience as one can get without being there with a real bike (which I was lucky enough to do in '86)! Give it a try.

I've been there a couple of times for the rally and love it there :up: Fantastic roads, great scenery, friendly locals, the roads are awesome, no speed limits outside of towns, and did I mention the roads are quite nice too?? :D
Definitely go there if you have the chance! :bounce:
