Fantastic film clips you took there, do people realise that it was all taken one one circuit, 37.73miles long?
Love the sidecars especially the clip you have of Dave Molyneux on the Honda on 'full chat'.
Unfortunately, as a Marshal I am not permitted to use a camera/video whilst the practice/racing is going on, and the downside nowadays is alot of the spectator vantage points you have in the film are now either restricted or prohibited areas due to 'Health and Safety' brought about after the 2007 tragic incident at the 26th milestone, which claimed the lives of one rider two spectators and resulted in two Marshals being seriously injured, one of which had her leg amputated.
This incident occurred during the last laps of the last race of the TT, of which had been a major incident free TT that year, now we are faced with risk assessments etc, especially after a sector Marshal was initially charged over the 'incident' when she was nowhere near the crash scene at the time!
