Isle of Man TT 2019 Racing and Behind the Scenes

The Isle of Man TT is a collection of motorcycle (and sidecar) road races which traditionally take place in early June each year. The fearsome 37.37 mile road circuit has claimed many lives over the years and it's difficult to not be in awe of the riders who reach speeds of 200mph, inches away from walls, lampposts, house, kerbs and many other things which could prove lethal with the slightest mistake or mechanical issue.

Below is a highlights video I took during practice/qualifying week. Unfortunately the weather was so poor that virtually all the sessions were cancelled, but at least we got to see some action. I can't complain too much - it was my fourth trip and the weather was great on the first three.

I also did some laps in my car and on a borrowed motorcycle, which you can see here.

Isle of Man TT Circuit Laps (Car and Bike)

Every year, for two weeks, the Isle of Man is taken over by the TT; a racing event which dates back to 1907. The 37.37 mile circuit stretches in a loop around the island, utilising public roads which are closed for the event. Probably the most famous section is the mountain - a fast, flowing section at high altitude which has no speed limit even outside the event. During the racing fortnight it's made into a one-way system, allowing members of the public (like me) to use both sides of the road. Below are a couple of videos on my first trips across the mountain, one in a car and one on a bike.

Isle of Man TT Recap

The 2019 Isle of Man TT races are fast approaching. I'll be there, for the first time in a few years, having visited the island for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 races, and I cannot wait. If you're in any way into motorsport it's a pilgrimage you must make at some point in your life.

To get us excited in the countdown to this year's event, here's a short video I put together from footage I'd taken on my previous trips along with some photos.

Dubai Dune Buggies and the Burj Khalifa (Video and Gallery)

On my recent trip to Dubai I drove a buggy out into the dunes. Rear wheel drive, powered by a 2.0 litre Toyota engine, it was a bit ragged on occasion! Also in the video and pictures below I've included some of the sights and sounds at the world's tallest building - the Burj Khalifa, including the view from the highest observation deck... a crazy 555m above ground!

Dubai Car Spotting (Video and Gallery)

It's no secret that Dubai is home to some very expensive cars. On a recent trip, I ensured I had a camera with me at all times in order to capture some of the crazy cars seen cruising the streets. I wasn't disappointed: sports cars, super cars and luxury cars are everywhere.

While I captured a few below (and more in the video), there were countless more that I missed. There comes a point where you hear the familiar growl of a G63's thunderous V8 and shrug, for it'll be just one of the huge number that you're likely to see on any given day. Eat your heard out Monaco; on the posing stakes you have much to learn.
