Back when this whole lockdown business was just starting, I decided to start a Bucket List of virtual motorsport, to experience many different forms of motorsport through Assetto Corsa. For the first item on the List, I decided to drive a lap of the Isle of Man TT course. I had originally wanted to use a BMW M5 Competition for tthe lap, but as I was unable to download that particular mod, I ended up using the Kunos BMW M4 as a substitute. The Isle of Man is a very long lap, with the roads being tight and affording little room for error. It gives you a whole new level of respect for the motorcycle racers who flock to the island to take part in the TT. Heading up the mountain, there's a decent stretch of road where you can open the taps and race across the hillside, and there's also a couple of very long straightaways to really test the top speed of your vehicle of choice.
Oh, and before you ask, I did get a little bit of air at Bellaugh Bridge.
Just a little bit...
Second attempt at posting - yes, love the Isle of Man track and even though it's a mod it gives you a sense of the speed and risks involved
