On board video from Horst Siager at this year's Macau GP (The whole race). You think Isle of Mann is crazy? You do NOT want to make a mistake here.

Tough to compare them since one's a sprint race and the other's a TT, but the variations in weather and track conditions at IOM for sure make it riskier.

Either race, the smallest mistake WILL LIKELY result in serious injury or worse. I saw the footage from Carreira and it looked like he had a mechanical or maybe just ran wide, smacking solid Armco head-on at 120 mph would never end well. Godspeed.

Here's a sobering list from IOM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...atal_accidents
