Have any of you watched the DVD TT circuit guide with Nick,David Jeffries and Ray Knight?It is a bit dated now but really good for any newbies who are wanting to learn the course and it also gives a good insight to roads on the inside and outside of the course that can be used for moving around during racing.
There is some good onboard footage from Nick and DJ which gives you a good idea if your going for a few laps yourselfWell worth a look for a newbie and think it cost me £4 from the Duke store.
Haven't watched it for a while but it is a great starting point (especially for those planning their first trip) despite being, as you say, a bit dated.
It was given away with Island Racer a couple of years ago but can still be bought or downloaded from Duke I believe for about a fiver.
