Seen this a few times, never fails to impress. Taking TT course on with this level of commitment, car or bike, just blows my mind. Absolutely nowhere to go if it all goes shit shaped!

"At these speeds, this car could fly" just the thought of a blowover on this course gives chills, such an amazing drive!

Respect! I loved it when you were swerving to warm your tyres - 100MPH and pulling 1G - again, respect!

Articulate, intelligent and flat out awesome! Great narration and amazing sound throughout. To see the TT in-person is on my bucket list. 😊

17 and a half minutes of pure concentration and total commitment. Flawless performance and the post edit commentary really lets you know exactly what Mark is dealing with at such high speed. Superb !! Thank you 5th Gear and thank you Mark and the ProDrive team 👏🏻

One mistake and it's.... aye... All over. To hold that level of concentration for that long and to do it THAT well. That's what makes people special at what they do eh? To say the least, absolutely wild.

Skills of an epic proportion, kudos to you brother, what a pleasure to watch 💪😎✌

Love Mr Higgins and love the IOM.. We used to go over in the 1980s for the Manx rally every year so have seen him compete here a few times. Always exciting and always committed as in this video. I remember coming down off the mountain towards Ramsey hurrying along in between stages and running out of brakes in my lovely Dolly Sprint. We made it though and lived to tell the tale. Thank you for this fantastic video.

This is nuts! When he hit 175mph and says we could really use more that section of the course, the bikes run closer to 200mph! Glad I hit the comments, I thought I was just too old to cope or whatever, but no its not just me; plenty of guys having the same thoughts. At first I couldn't tell what the top left corner was showing and when I realized it was drivers heart bpm, respiratory rate, and skin temp (wtf?!), I thought yeah, no sh¡t! I should have been monitoring my vitals just watching this video! Holy crap, "we have to be careful because the car could fly" .....the last time I heard a guy say that and really mean it, and he did mean it, was one of the drivers of a Porsche 917k talking about racing at Le mans (1970? I think) flat out top speed at night, well over 200mph in an 1800lb car with no proper ground effects, no abs brakes.....he stated quite bluntly how amazed (and no doubt relieved) he was that no one was killed while racing the 917's.....they hit a top speed of 247mph at Le mans and won the race, that record would stand for some years. A Jaguar hit 251mph but the car was crap. Look into it if you havent already. Anyway love this video. I used to be into air cooled VW's so I have a soft spot for flat 4 (or 6 or 12) cylinder boxer motors. 128mph, very fast. Congratulations to all who were involved. Sorry I got here so late.

Great driving and commentary, Mr. Higgins.

Absolutely brilliant mate!!! Daily watch on this one.

nipping a bit of kerb at 170 going into the alpine section, really scary tbh, great drive. feel blessed to have watched this at cronk y voddy, i hope this type of thing returns to the TT, it gave it that bit of extra special sauce.

so fast it looks like a PS game footage, amazing

This is some of the craziest shit I have ever seen. That car is a monster

Mark Higgins doing what most Manx lads dream of; driving the TT course on a closed road. An incredible drive from Mark, as he makes it look far easier than it is. Some of those sections are as bumpy AF.

His heart rate was @150bpm. Mine was @165bpm, seating in my bedroom watching this on my cellphone. WTF!

Spectacular driving. It was great to see the sections of the course you never get to see during the bike events, even though it was all a blur lol.

Fantastic video. Mind blowing.

Not surprised Mark was an excellent WRC driver and infamous as stunt driver on James Bond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 too 👍🏻👏👏👏👏🙏🏻

Mark Higgins. You've got titanium balls brother. Goddamn

When the chippy shuts in twenty minutes 😂😂😂🤘😎🤘 Bloody Brilliant driving 🙏

It is such a pleasure to watch a professional driver take this car to its limit.... and what a limit that is...

The car feel like a part of me, that's true passion

INCREDIBLE driving Mr Higgins , blown away

Flippin' 'eck! 😲 What Markku Alen used to call "maximum attack" driving deserves respect, whether you're on two wheels, three wheels, or four. Bravo.

Astonishingly Brave !! Fantastic….

This is absolutely bonkers!

This sh!t is straight bananas! It's incomprehensible, I just can't wrap my head around that fact that he's going around those curves like he's on a casual Sunday drive. Nucking futz!

Honestly the heart rate shows your confidence in the car. Great drive. Thank you sir. Does the steering wheel size get better or worse if bigger. I guess I'm trying to ask would a bigger steering wheel get less stress through the arms and more turning power? And could you "feel" the drs?

There is no doubt rally driving is one of the most dangerous and difficult motorsports but F1 is no easy thing either. Baku, Monaco, and really any race track require drivers to stay as close to their line for 2 hours sometimes without any breaks in between except 1-3 pitstops. No easy task while at those speeds or g-forces.

Realy Fantastic.

Amazing

I'm the owner STI, but i have no words to comment this crazy guy ❤ love it and Higgins forever

Love the fact he starts in the car park at Creg Ny Bar Last time I left the pub like this , ended up in the bushes 😮

Clocking in at 105mph over the speed limit past someones house is mental. What a race the TT is. Special.

No words to describe that really

4:20 to 4:55 absolutely flat out bouncing off the rev limiter in top at 175mph! On a public road in a Scooby! So cool! Plus they could clearly go even faster on this section alone by a longer top gear. Although he did mention the possibility of going airborne? So maybe not?

The run to beat this is going to be something special

crazy to think that this is the same dude who does stunt driving for the james bond films, def shows how he got the gig lol

Now think what a special build 1000 hp time attack car with massive aero could do !! I hope some day they bring a real monster to the isle of men.

Just wow.

Looking forward seeing you next year with higher top speeds.

Incredible. 175MPH passed those houses and spectators is something else.

Godlike

If you want to see something really special check out peter hickmans chin cam lap of the TT.

Back to 170 , nice corners. Kills me every time.

really awesome. wish the camera was better. The camera on the "stock-ish" run captured the speed a lot better

That was unbelievable

I've driven the IOM circuit dozens of times (mainly in a Cosworth Sierra). Not a slow car but nothing remotely like these speeds. Different type of human being who can drive at 175mph through those tight curves.

Hey Polyphony Digital - you gave me the actual car in GT7………so how about the legendary track layout to try and emulate this superb display of driving awesomeness (poorly)

JEEZ, I can drive fast but this is something else, but if you didn't know the road there is NO WAY you could drive that fast. I'd love to give this thing a blast on an empty A5 in North Wales. Not much can keep up with me in a 1.9 TDi Bora, this would be AWESOME.

Appreciate the commentary but is there a version without it somewhere? Honestly sometimes I just want to hear non stop 8000rpm boxer and straight cut gears goodness and watch 150-170mph action through narrow residential streets next to doorsteps. It's literally surreal.
