As stated by others, terrible journalism. I can’t believe we have to explain this to you. Cover the race and the turns that come with it. Not just the deaths. To think someone pays you to write this crap.
Its been said before but I will say it again. If you are going to cover the IOM TT do something other than just cover the fatalities. Don’t ignore the extreme risk and the fatalities that are part of it but there are other aspects to this.
I was polite last week, but this time you don’t deserve it. Gutter journalism of the worst sort. No reporting whatsoever on the racing. But at least this time I can expect it coming from you, Stef was more of a disappointment.
It’s simple. These guys are living more in the minutes they run this race than you will in your entire life.
People don’t watch m/c racing for the crashes. It’s not NASCAR.
Go back to space camp. It’s a good place to pretend to do dangerous things without any risk.
Your opinion literally means nothing. To them? It’s not “no reason.”
Absolutely not. I don’t know why people keep saying this. They are AWARE of the extreme hazard coming into this race. They race these roads at 180mph because they DESIRE that rush. Just because people don’t like to see people dying doesn’t mean you should take away this rite of passage for some riders.
Nah. It’s no different from wingsuiting or surfing 80 ft waves or whatever. Participants know the risk and choose to play.
See but that angle isn’t as bad for distortion because it’s much closer to the eye. Distortion increases with distance between the eye and the lens (the windscreen).
Close the cockpit, and while you’re at it close the wheels as well. Then add doors that let the driver get in and out quickly. Because of that, you could add the element of driver changes in a race, then they could race for way longer than an hour and a half.
Right?
Because humans have binocular vision and this camera doesn’t. When it is so close to your face like this you will not even notice it while racing just like your own nose.
Looks like it doesn’t block the view at all to me. Honestly, once the drivers get in the zone, they probably forget it’s even there.
The other thing that occurs to me is that as a pedestrian it’s tough to judge speed of traffic when the cars look far enough off (and you assume the cars were doing something near the legal speed) but are actually clocking over 100 mph in the instant you looked, and then thought it was safe to cross.
Where are all those “we were all young once” apologists? You know, the ones blaming the mother for legally crossing when a car approached her at 100mph. If you care, that’s half a football field PER SECOND.
Just saying for $50K you can quiet easily pick up a new C43AMG. Dealers are knocking off $8k if you just sneeze gently after opening your snuff box. It’s got luxury and fun, however it lacks Porsche’s more friendly left hand push start.
Anyone who doesn’t suggest a Porsche hates the disabled
It’s because Merkel doesn’t like him. Everything is personal with Donald.
