This was a random recommendation. Good job my dude. Commentary was very professional. I’ve been IOM twice to see the race. It’s probably one of the last truly dangerous Bike races on the planet, mad respect to anyone who races here and RIP to those that have lost their lives while living their passion.
What. A. Rush!!! Been a fan of the TT for years. This seems so realistic! Never felt this buzzing from a youtube video! Nice one Jake, i stand by my previous comment. You never make a bad youtube video!!
Incredible! Mastering this course, in this time, in cockpit view, without helping hands like displayed racing line. Respect! 🙂

In the Replay it does not show if Rider is using those assists or not. Just so you can know, And regardless if you use the racing line its still diffic to keep that fast pace mate
That was SO INTENSE!! You did an insanely good job commentating.
Holy crap man only part of the way through the lap rn and man its so intense. Never ceases to amaze me how good you are at racing sims. Well done~!
This is a superb video. Have respected your Grand Prix Legends videos ( and other formats ) for years. Its unreal you achieved this standard in such a short time for IOM TT. You treat everything with deference , respect , talent and intelligence . Hats off to you sir
Great lap Jake. I'm a regular visitor to the TT, and only just got home a few days ago. I know plenty of people whose front yards you could watch from if you ever visit, and plenty of tips on other spots and how to get to them.
Listening to your stream of consciousness as you talk about each stage of the course you're moving through is remarkable, I was awe-struck when you hit the late apex at 5:00 just because of the sort of patience and experience required to pull that off at the edge of your pace. Or for instance, those moments when you have a slight fumble and have to tell yourself to focus and you can't think about it for too long as just how much your focus is at capacity. So thrilling.

As someone who doesn't normally cover this kind of content, that was damn impressive. Your course knowledge, awareness and commentary were exceptional - how you remember all that is beyond me. I almost knew the Nordschleife once, but the IOM course is something else! Respect 👍🏻👍🏻
Great production. Much respect and thanks for your excellent work on this video.
Awesome job mate, thanks for the great content and for bringing more attention to the amazing and insane race that is the Isle of Man tt
I love watching the Isle of Man but having this perspective, unbroken, for the entire track was very cool. I enjoyed the narration as well...informative but not overdone. Very cool vid, thanks for sharing!
love your intensity man, really captured what the TT is. As well as the adrenaline needed to complete this circuit. Nice!!
The sense of speed in this game is truly unbelievable. I ride in real life and this game is still thrilling. My top 3 moto games for sure
Jacob, that lap was epic!! Really well ridden. It was just like watching a real life on board. Graphically amazing. Thanks Jake.
Excellent commentary and great laps. I know just who hard these bike games are 2 play. Brilliant 👏

incredible job riding *and talking* through the lap. so impressive! 😮😮😮
wow, it was super clean.I tell you, memorizing all the corners on this race track is a work of art in itself, I am impressed!
Well done! Such narrow spaces at that speed. I really don’t know how you remember it all. I’ve learned Nordschleife in various sims and patted myself on the back for it, but I feel like it has distinct sections that prompt my memory one to the next as I reach them. This though…. I see very little to latch onto.

Enjoyed your lap a lot buddy! As someone who watches the IoM TT every year on TV it's interesting to see the sim racer lap. Loved hearing your description of the different sections of the lap!
Fantastic. Love the knowledgeable commentary. Now for the big bikes!

This video in proper uw (I assuming uploaded in 4k, up from the native resolution of 3440x1440 to make yt use the good compression) has single handedly convinced me to get this game, which has not came on my radar as a life long rider & a decade long sim racer.

Great lap. I'm also loving this game and track right now. I'm and old man and have never ridden a real bike so watching you ride in that perspective blows my mind as I have the chase cam as far back as it goes (and the semi auto box, dual brake and the track map in the bottom corner for hints too loL) and even then the sense of speed is wild!. But I love that it's clearly just as thrilling for the pro as it is for the novice. Thanks for sharing.
Youve been playing this for weeks and you have a commentary remembering all the corners and landmarks? Incredible, well played man
Great video! Love the channel!
Imagine how insane you gotta be to participate in this race. Just look at the in-game scenery of streets etc. I understand they have it memorized to some extent but still, one mistake or an X factor that you cant control, and you're in a wheelchair for the rest of your life (if lucky). Massive respect to the riders participating in Isle of Man.
Thank you literally the greatest gameplay… I love this track and it takes me 1 million times to practice more than a few corners at one time to get consistent

I just started playing this game and the skill level it requires is insane, but once you get the hang of it, it is so rewarding. Nothing better than adrenaline at the max pulling off some crazy rides
This is the first time I'm watching any motor bike gaming sim ever, and let me tell you this! ..... I'M NOW A FAN!!. I'm going to subscribe to your channel right now!!. I totally enjoyed watching that, keep em coming. I'm from the UK.
seeing how you took Ballaugh Bridge, the way you described breaking for it...embodiment of the risks IOM right there. RIP Bob Price
Just imagine being on a simulator that was shaped like a bike and in VR as well 🤟
Fantastic lap with excellent commentary! Loved watching this!
DAMN MAN!!!! YOU NAILED THAT! Good job, I love the Isle of Man. This game is worth having for this course alone. I dont have any games but I enjoy checking some of them out, like this video. You know that course like a professional. Excellent narration. You know the riders use this to keep the course in their heads. Every bump every turn, 216 turns? Awesome video.
Ordinarily I refuse to watch Sim race videos, though I have done countless laps of the virtual North Loop. However, a 1st person pov full lap around the Isle of Man is a bit different. I don't recall ever seeing a complete real world 1st person pov lap, seems there's always a cut to another camera through slower corners. The strictly 1st person pov was great, the commentary on top with the name of each corner, section name, hazards, gear, speed and mistakes made it even better. I can imagine the hours invested to run an 18 1/2 minute lap so I appreciate your efforts that allow me to experience a very fast lap around the Isle of Man without any input. Thank you, It was an awesome ride.
This would be absolutely wild in VR.

Simply put - a beautiful lap, a lap of the gods. That was a joy to watch.
Did you drive with steering wheel or with gamepad?. Great video, as always!
I love how the Mountain Course is set right at the beggining: thee rider come to the line, no one with you anymore. Just you and your bike... And them come your turn. The start touch your shoulder (the last person to ever touch you? Don't think about!) and your off right to top of Bray Hill. Theres no a long strait to your relax and get the feeling of your bike. It's just the f*cking BRAY HILL. It's almost the course is talking to you: "that's what expecting you, do you gonna continue bro??".
This is the first video i think i never looked away from the entire 18:32 lol. Whew boi that was exciting!
Awesome driving. You did an excellent job narrating the track.
Amazing. This game can help riders who can't race there, learn the track, assuming it's accurate enough. Your commentary btw is pro level, I'd love to listen to you on races.
What are you using to control the bike? Every time I've tried using game bikes with a steering wheel is just felt super weird.
What are you using control wise, controller or a steering wheel? Sounds like an odd question but there's lots of smooth and gradual leaning going on

Can't believe how realistic that is! I drive around the course most day's so im used to it, but seeing the level of detail is amazing, great riding, BTW 👏
You are very good maneuvering the Bike through this SIM game of Isle of Man narrow road track. To handle the Bike the way you do at those consistent speeds, really have to know when and where all the corners are. For the real Bike racers, this is an insane yearly event and sometimes riders do get hurt. Thanks for the awesome video and take care.
This looks amazing. I'm usually put off bike sims because of the control problem. Short of building some kind of custom rig... Although I've never tried, I don't suppose my wheel would be particularly good for it. You didn't use a wheel did you?

I've played the previous TTIoM games with a wheel, it's surprisingly functional if you set your wheel to a very low degree of rotation (I think I was using like 70 degrees or so, can't remember exactly anymore). It certainly beats any other type of controls for me (emphasis on "for me", though...it may not apply to you).

Seems like at 5:20 your RPM's climb slightly when you lean over, which is accurate to real life as the outside of the tire has a smaller radius than the center, so it spins faster as you lean the bike.

Great video. It really drives home just how insane it is what the TT racers do. Nothing else like it in the world.
I would like to have seen you hit a few more apexes, but nonetheless, that was freaking mental. Great to watch. I'm guessing you used a controller. I used to have a Thrustmaster Freestyler Bike handlebars controller for PlayStation. They also made a USB version for PC. They're extremely rare and difficult to find these days. I'm surprised with all the motorcycle games out, nobody is making a budget option. I won't buy Isle of Man 3 or the Moto GP Games because I'm hopeless with a controller.
easily the most disoriented video on your channel, but of course the thrill is there. must be nice on a nice setup - how did you do it wheel-wise??? i haven't played anything since the PS2 but i never got much into bike games because there was always more stuff, more controls, more nuance etc.

You can actually get a frame like the front bars of a bike to control for such games, you sit in the middle and just sway it. No idea what he has. I wouldn't use a wheel, I'd just use a controller, with sensitivity settings changed to be lower towards the middle, higher at the edges. Again, don't know what he does.
This was an incredible watch, with incredible narration.
