Anyone who has ever video footage of the Isle of Man TT has looked, know what I mean by bizarre.

It is perhaps the most epic motor racing history, the Isle of Man TT. A little bit of what the Targa Florio for cars was, although already in the years ’70 discontinued due to great danger for both participants and spectators. With speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour popping all the lords and ladies on their two-wheelers on narrow country roads (video). A hay bale here and there, more set up safety features around the long street circuit.

However, it is not only engines of the British island race, also Subaru put in 2014 a very fast lap time down with a Prodrive-prepared Imperza. So fast, that it is the fastest car ever is on the 60-km long circuit. Just 190 km/h reed Mark Higgins in his Impreza WRX STi. Yes, that car was on the necessary points adjusted, but the power was 300 hp almost identical to the production model. Below, 19 minutes and 15 seconds of pure action, photos view your here.

Still think Higgins, Subaru and Prodrive that it is harder and so they will again this year attempt. A 2015 Impreza WRX STi is taken care of and seems in any case aerodynamic the necessary updates to have had. How many hp’s the wild bespoilerde Subaru exactly under the hood, they want us, however, don’t tell.” At the end of may, beginning of June we will know if the Subaru has succeeded. To be continued!
