Mark Higgins sets new Isle of Mann TT record in a Scoob
 

Just seen that rally driver Mark Higgins has broken the four wheel record round the Isle of Man TT course, having just lapped the 37 mile Isle of Man TT Course in a Scooby averaging 113.505mph!

As I understand it that was a standard production STi with just basic safety modifications. I think he will be having a couple more cracks at beating that over the course of the TT week.

Hopefully there will be video to follow! :doubleup:

I look forward to seeing that! :drive:

I just read that the complete lap in the Scoob took 19:56 (the bike record is just over 17 minutes?), which was done on normal road tyres. Supposedly a run on slicks is planned for later in the week!

Not quite as standard as you first think though, running on race fuel and mapped by Enginemapper!

Ah, a little bit tweaked then. I wonder what the car is making?

Well it anit making dust, it must be shifting... on those LITTLE tweaks LOL

I have done a few laps on my bike last year, and believe me it is not a bike friendly course roads are real bumpy, would be much wasier in a car.... You have to have a big set of Balls to do the speeds these guys do in a car or bike!!!! :nod:

do you guys think there will be a video of this

thanks moley wrx,but did they stick a camera in the car

Holy moly that was shifting

lol cant beat the sound of an impreza ;-)

That is very impressive!

FFFFFFFAAARRRRKKKKK!! (would have been my reaction)

ooohh that was a scary moment, you could tell the relief afterwards when he asked the passenger if he was ok.

amazing recovery, no reaction from co-driver - lets him get on with it, fair doos

jesus. the consequences of losing it at that speed in those surroundings would be shocking. so much street furniture, kerbs, trees and walls :o

an amazing event, but a seriously scary one!

:-o:worthy:awesome reactions, think i would need a courtesy wipe after that. would like to see the whole lap.

Thats a cracking recovery.

The passenger was as cool as a cucumber! If that were me I would have screamed like a bitch! :lol:
