Subaru at Isle of Man TT

Anyone else following this?

British Rally Champion Mark Higgins breaks the road car record for Isle of Man TT with a slightly modified Subaru WRX STI (Sedan) at 19 minutes 56.67 seconds at an average speed of 113mph (~181kph).

The previous record was set in 1990 with rally driver Tony Pond in a Rover 827 Vitesse at 22 minutes 9.01 seconds

The Overall Lap Record is held by Rider John McGuinness with a 2009 Honda CBR1000RR at 17 minutes 12.30 seconds (131mph average)

He has one more run scheduled tomorrow. I wish him the best of luck. Check out the amazing recovery in the R&T video, imagine being that passenger!
