I give up, this system is absolute rubbish. Intermittent radio and a timing system that freezes and only spits out information long after the radio has announced positions etc... and then it goes into reverse with the Timing system showing positions at the Grandstand (when it works) and the radio  commenting on earlier positions at Ramsey !!!!!











.

Thats incredibly tight scheduling!! a 1045hrs start gives effectively just 2 hours to get everyone home from a 6 lap race and then get the chairs assembled on the line 15 minutes before their 1300hrs start!!

Superbike race is 4 laps

That makes more sense then, I wondered how they would manage time wise if it was still a 6 Lapper!!

0830hrs and Mountain Road is closed from the look of the police car at the bungalow on the webcams, hope it's nothing serious.

[edit] More than one RTC according to Manx Radio

Crosby jump today for me. Then bottom of Bray hill for the 600s

That doesn't surprise me Chris, I live on the course and the 'organ donors' start at first light blasting around and around the course, I've been awake since 5.30am thanks to bikes and sirens.

Manx Radio online keeps dropping out......

Radio is way behind the timing screen - a full sector behind

Utterly, utterly dreadful. So far out of sync that it was impossible to follow. Live timing constantly needed refreshing, as did the radio. I had to log out on two occasions and re-install to get anything. The sheer, unadulterated hubris of the IoM government, believing that they could run the system that Duke has been perfecting for ten years without testing, leaves me aghast. It should have been tested sufficiently well before the TT ever happened. Total incompetence.

My radio was the same it keeps stopping and then starting where it had stopped so I went to Tunein radio station app and it works fine.

Could not listen on Manx Radio Player due to drop outs but switched to

https://tunein.com/radio/Manx-Radio-AM-1368-s37235/

Seems much better here

Will try it for the Supersports later, thanks

Thanks Chris, it's better quality too.

Same rubbish found -- gahhh!! Came 4000 miles, and faced with this stupid nonsense. I still cannot get into Live Timing - though I signed up for it a while since. What a botch up!

Try 87.9 FM if you are around the Douglas area.

I'm frankly disillusioned by this so called modern upgrade. The developers of the app seem obsessed with changing thigs by introducing pretty colours and optimizing for mobile phones. We have had two races to enable assessment of this system, it's poor, and maybe that's being overly generous. They desperately need to introduce a current difference,-as they have in the leader board section,- to the laps and sectors. They also need to make the provision to compare previous sector times by a given rider or team. The chance of that?        I would also like to see some bike information, there's nothing other than part of the team name. Lastly, the laps and sectors section needs to shuffle so that it reflects the leader board as it stands, it's quite ridiculous to have to search for who is where. Dire.

I don't know if the radio was any better in the sidecar event, I listened via Manx Radio on the Tunein app.

There are no pressers this year, why? Yes the presser is still available in audio, but in previous years the live youtube video has been available.

Progress? I don't think so, it's very much a retrograde step.

I have tweeted the ttracesofficial twitter feed, they were deleted. I have also sent emails to which, currently, there is no reply.

It's impossible to follow with anything like the previous enthusiasm, the on line experience is a shadow of its former self. very frustrating.

Statement issued at 15:55, Monday 3rd June

ACU Events Ltd regrets to confirm that Daley Mathison, 27, from Stockton on Tees, Durham was killed in an incident during the Superbike Race today at the Isle of Man TT Races.  The accident occurred at Snugborough, just over 2 miles into the Course, on the 3rd lap of the race.

Daley was an experienced competitor and was seeded 19th for today’s race.  He made his Mountain Course debut in the 2013 Manx Grand Prix Newcomers A Race, finishing fifth.  His TT career included three consecutive podiums in the TT Zero electric bike Race in 2016, 2017 and 2018 including the runner up position in the race last year, representing Nottingham University.

He also achieved an 11th place finish in last year’s Superstock Race and a pair of 13th place finishes in the 2017 and 2018 Senior TT Races.

He set his fastest lap of the Mountain Course - 128.054mph - in the 2018 Superstock race which made him the 34th fastest rider of all time. He set the second fastest TT Zero lap ever with lap of 119.294mph in the 2018 race.

In total he started 19 TT Races with 14 finishes and 3 podiums and won 6 silver and 8 bronze replicas

ACU Events Ltd wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Daley’s wife Natalie, his family and friends.

saddened to hear this news

now then interesting thing here
pete hickman used stocker in super bike race
was this legal
any other bike yes
but the stock 2019 bmw has variable valve timing which they cant use on the superbike as its electronic aid ?
was this disabled ? or did they run it ?
