Testing on the Isle of Man

This track is insane.  Madness, a crazy smear of jinks and bumps and a blur of hedges, trees, walls, houses, just everything.  The road, for it is a road running around the island, twists and turns at impossible speeds, stopping sometimes to flick round a hairpin or through a town.  The only way to drive it is to memorise it, which I've been working hard to do.  Not having pedals for the last week has made it difficult, but they're fixed at last.  I've gone with the 69 BRM, due to not being allowed a DFV powered car.  It's pretty driveable, has good grip, but can lug a bit.  This is going to be about survival.
