Manx Grand Prix 2011 - Senior Race HD - Darryl McGeown

Lap starts 3mins in. ON FAST CONNECTION SELECT 1080p HD (from bottom right toolbar on video) and best viewed full screen.

Dry start to the 2011 Senior race but roads soon turn wet and dangerous (AGAIN). Lines and gear changes all over the place in 50/50 conditions and lack of adhesion flags were shown all round...there was also standing water on the mountain so I retired in pits after first lap.

Just read the read up, didn't think it was that wet for the senior race? Was this Friday morning?

@fordwrc2006 first lap there was lots of dry lines running into wet patches and the mountain was quite wet especially through the bungalow. The track nearly dried completely as the race went on but I had a few 'feet off the pegs' moments first lap so called it a day.
