Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, sometimes under the mystical cloak of Mannin, there is an island steeped in motorsport history: so much so that, today, it is known as the road racing capital of the world. Long since the dust of the very first motor race to be held in Great Britain had drifted into the annals of history, the sound of racing machines still resonate around a circuit that has become a true legend in every sense of the word.
The climax of this circuit is known as the ‘mountain course’ which winds itself up into a finale second to none. A finishing touch that leaves only the brave and the daring with a feeling of complete domination over one of the trickiest pieces of road in the world.
The TT Course wraps speed with adversity, rolled into one dynamic package in which we can indulge. Is this the best 911 road in the world ...
As featured in The Last of the Evolution
"You can plant the throttle almost immediately on the apex and sit and wait as the power comes back, gravity is tugging you back, all 60% weight is squatting over the back wheels, and the 911 is shaking its head, surging forward onto the open sweeping sections of the Mountain Course."
Accellerating out of the Gooseneck
Chasing 911s over the mountain in the rain - possibly the best experience you'll ever have driving a 911. This is flat-out into Windy Corner, late on the brakes down the inside of the Boxster and power out behind the 997 ...
I want to take you over the mountain in a 911
Mix the unorthodox with the unconventional and you get an explosive cocktail of adversity - step up the Porsche 911 Carrera and bring on a lap of the TT Course - welcome to chisel vs the stone ... welcome to the Isle of Man ...
