Manx Grand Prix MGP 2016 onboard lap Yamaha YZF-R6 Isle of Man TT Mountain Course

109.3084mph (20:42.612) practice lap from Saturday evening, Junior and Senior class.
Not a fast lap I know, but I've put this up here so people learning the course can see it at a sensible speed, and learn from my mistakes! Loads of places where I was in the wrong gear, or off line, or not accelerating hard enough, but we can't all be John McGuinness can we?! Hope it helps anyone who's hoping to race here!
(Ex Dean Harrison/Ian Bell Yamaha YZF-R6 2CO Superstock 600 spec: Ohlins TTX rear shock, K-Tech 20mm piston kit and springs in standard forks, Ohlins steering damper, PClll, Translogic quick shifter, Akrapovic titanium full system. Metzeler Racetec RR - K1 front, K2 rear…and the most important tuning part of all: the "go-faster" Mugen Shinden brake reservoir wristband!)
Sorry about the awful sound and picture quality, I had a rubbish SD card in the camera, and the whole thing was vibrating in its housing a lot!
I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

I did the Course in 20 minutes and 13 seconds...!!!! In the TT Isle of man PC-game that is. And i died a couple of times, but i just got up on the bike again and kept going.

mad skill, legend, max respect for yous, stay safe! Would love to see more!

[@flatoutintop23]

thank you very much! sorry but theres unlikely to be more, I crashed in the junior race at the black dub and fractured my spine, packed in racing after that! walls and trees aren't very forgiving! ;-)

[@PeterGriffin-gh8dz]

@@flatoutintop23 I understand why you packed it in. You want to Live. Any one that can race this track in less than 21 minutes has balls of Steel.

[@flatoutintop23]

[@flatoutintop23]

Thank you! Im really sorry but I can't remember off hand, it was nearly 5 years ago now! I might have it written down in my notebook of the bike and its settings, I'll see if I can dig it out, but not sure where it is now...?!

@@Yandrama haha, funnily enough "Uncle Rutter" led me and a few others on our sighting lap at the 2015 Manx GP, on a 250 Honda single....he set off like a scalded cat down Bray Hill, it was meant to be a 60-80% lap speed but for the first time it felt scary-fast! haha

[@flatoutintop23]

@satriyowicak just some lucky bloke who wasn't great at racing but still managed to achieve his dream of racing around the world famous Mountain Course!! ;-) lol!

[@jakubrybaczek2427]

What way you went to participate in Isle of Man tt, I would like to try once that race or even just a practice. How to started there?

[@brunopinhodacruz5133]

Just one question, why that awful engine noise in deceleration?

[@flatoutintop23]

It’s not the engine, it’s the camera vibrating inside it’s housing

[@samarsingh537]

hey bro plz anyone guide me I m a beginner in sports bike how can I qualify tt isle of man races plz help me Thanking you faithfully yours sam Christian

[@flatoutintop23]

The honest answer is time and effort! Get a race licence, upgrade it to national or international depending where you’re from, get the required signatures for a “mountain course” race licence, do multiple visits to the island to learn the course, spend 100s of hours of watching onboard laps, then put an entry in and keep your finger crossed...! Took me 5 years to get there and I only managed the “amateur” race - the Manx Grand Prix. Good luck and have fun 😁🤙
