As you see it's the practice week as we thought it's better to see practice 4 evenings in stead of just 2 race-days. However, I wonder - how is "the action" in practice week compared to race week - maybe a stupid decision we have made? Any experienced guys out there to assist in this question?

Excellent idea, as you can go to the Billown classic races on the Monday, and see the Mountain circuit from various points during the week. For your first ever practice, go to the bottom of Bray Hill - always breathtaking - but be there one hour before practice starts as it gets very busy!

Also go to Ballaugh Bridge one evening - again, be there early.

Suggest you stay on the outside of the course as you can then move to new vantage points.

During the days, go to the race paddock early in the week, the various photo exhibitions (e.g. at Laxey, as above) and the Manx Museum in Douglas which will have a special Suzuki exhibition this year. Also the private Murray motorcycle collection in Santon. Most exhibitions are free but donations to charity requested.

Sights: Peel and Castletown castles and museums, Mountain railway from Laxey to top of Snaefell, Laxey wheel, Rushen Abbey near Castletown.

At night, Douglas is relatively quiet during practice week but if you want night life go to Copenhagen, not the Isle of Man!

You lucky people.
