Not sure if you have been to the IOM lately, but although it is basically the same track (!) that is where the comparison ends. The surface has been much improved in the more dangerous sections, the top of Bray Hill for one, (Agos leap), there is no longer the nasty bumps that there once was. Before resurfacing, there was only one line there, almost in the right hand gutter, anywhere else you were liable to end up with a tankslapper at flat out speed, much the same at other various corners e.t.c.But then, after one bad winter, the road surface will be c*ap again.Considering the lap record on modern Superbikes is now over 130 MPH, it’s no wonder the classic racing took off.
