Mark Higgins is an insane bloke. he blasts past my house at 130 mph with no lift when doing this lap. he’s honestly a fucking madman
you live beside that piece of concrete? how? i love watching vehicles driven by borderline insane people blasting by but if they do that right beside my house then goodbye im moving out. I dont wanna have a relaxing chat with my neighbors about how my bedroom including half my house could have been blown off to rubble because this one time a lunatic almost forgot his braking point
I could never live on the isle, I'd be too scared of some guy and his bike crashing into the kitchen lol
@@kryse4806 thankfully our front garden is big enough and there are barriers right on our wall so they don’t come clattering into our house. but yeah watching them go past like that is insane
@@jacobthefiend you don’t really want to live here anyway. it’s boring af most of the year apart from when it’s TT. also the standard of driving over here is horrendous. people just go 40 mph everywhere. school zone where it’s a 20 mph limit? speed through at 40. roads where there are no speed limit? trundle at 40 getting in everyone’s way. and people never stay on their own side of the road. it’s pretty dreadful
@@willlashley1378 the 40mph thing is common here in England too
Mark Higgins is a certified insane basketcase. And we love him for it.
Anyone who goes out there at those speeds is a certified psychopath in my book.
I've watched miggins loads when he was testing the 2002 focus wrc up in Cumbria and can confirm he's one of the fastest drivers I've ever watched!!! Absolutely unhinged!!!!
Mark higgins brc rally driver 👍👍🏆 USA Subaru wrc 🏆❤champion
@@3gsmotorsport David Higgins, marks brother is us 🇺🇸 rally champion, Mark hasn't rallied in America
Both doing brc rally good rally driver I I know know them for long time we do rally Antonio and dominico giovinazzo
Remember, to extract the absolute limit from the Isle of Man, be it on bike, or in car, you have to be absolutely insane.
No,insane people wouldn't,t get 100 yards.
Correct
Packing balls that could anchor the titanic too. Shit is unbelievable.
should call it the Isle of Madmen
Oven crazier on a bike bk a crash in many places would be instant death. Every couple of yrs a biker is killed there. Whereas in a car it would mostly protect the driver.
1:55 That donation was perfectly timed😂
I noticed too you could not time that better if you tried
came to say this. SO perfect
The comment I was looking for.
Yeah Jimmy, about you asking for other drivers to produce this kind of crazy Onboard..that already exists, it´s called HillClimb Racing 😜 And we have some that can rival Markie´s effort we would say...
Agree!!
Damn right you do! Wish Hillclimb was more prevalent here in the states
ah, the best channel on youtube has commented
Imagine Georg Plasa (r.i.p.) on the TT course with the 134 judd!
TRUE!
Mark is an insane driver to watch, and so wholesome and down to earth
this car is also in GT7 if you ever want to take it round nord Jimmy, it’s a ton of fun personally (with its fully functioning DRS)
Yes we need to see a nordschleife lap
I've never seen DRS work on it in gt7, and there's no action for it to map to a button
@@jacobthefiend Its the same as the Nitrous button. It does work, but you have to hold it down. Default is R3 (pushing down on the Right analogue stick) If you fit the car with nitrous you only get nitrous and not DRS, its a dual purpose button press but nitrous takes priority.
@@jacobthefiend It's labeled as overtake. The original button for it is R3 on a controller but I've changed the mapping to L1 to make it more functional
Come on Jimmy, do it around your test track pretty please.🙏
Everyone on the Isle of Man must really like racing, to have the whole city turned into a race track and accept the possibility of a motorcycle at 150 mph going through the front door or window of a house.
If your a local you leave the island during TT and rent out your property. It will pay them for the year. COVID has hit IOM hard
We had a wheel go through a window of someones house once!
@@chrisprobert6 I'm sure the money's good but I absolutely wouldn't want to miss this event.
@@Skorpse good is an understatement guys with big wallets that "cannot miss this event" enough to live untill the next tt...... Iol
@@DrCrunkMusic I mean for the general folks, sure. But as a car enthusiast (like most people here), I'd never give my spot away.
Insane lap - just flat out. The fans just standing next to the road while he's zipping by at 170+ are very brave. Mad respect to those who take on the TT.
it's group b rally all over again
I think you can see Mark's testicals from space 😂 crazy lap. Makes me proud that my grandad won the TT almost 50 years ago, averaging 107.27mph... 50 years ago, 107.. mad man 🖤
107 on 70s rubber the fairly basic suspension even race bikes had back then.. All respect to that. Even on modern rubber the TT is sketchy.
Sir, your grandad has some massive balls as well. That’s amazing.
Isle of Man TT
Praga R1T
Asseto Corsa
Cmon Jimmer, we know you want to do it!
YOOOO that would be awesome
Blow this comment up man... He needs to see and do this
The only modern sim with a faithful recreation of the IoM TT circuit is Rfactor 2 (Is a conversion of Jim Pearson's GPL track that took 14 years to build from scratch).
@@adderrson epic
Higgins is a legend. I remember 2004 brc at ulster when he was driving for stobart, he went a bit hot over a jump overshot the corner, whipped the handbrake on, and took off like he meant it.
128mph average speed. Holy crap.
Fortunate enough to take my Volvo 240 round the course for a couple of laps 6 years ago. Tree roots at the side of the carriageway come as a surprise at 90 I can tell you. Wooden crosses on every tree.
Amazing place.
I remember watching a video of him making an impossible save, saying "that was a bit of a moment there" whist still blasting through at 160+...Literally the moment I realized that the TT drivers are from another planet.
Theres a vid from 81 or so a finn in tt in an opel manta has a scuff with the wall, swings side to side and goes through a car sized bridge and just keeps going on 3 wheels for the rest of the stint. The co driver goes speechless for a bit
@@lasskinn474 I know man I know. Rally was the THE motorsport in my country. I didn’t even know F1 existed till I was like 13… I know which Finn you are referring to, I also know of a certain Scotsman who flipped a Subaru 8 times and finished in top 10. But above all Isle of Man is insanity that goes to 11.
@@lasskinn474 that Finn was Called Ari Vatannen and Terry Harryman navigating. Just search Ari Vatanen dear god moment! On you tube it's definitely worth a watch.
at 14.35 he says "nasty left, don't really like that corner" whilst still taking it as 100mph. crazy stuff. not seen this before, but it brings back memories of Ari Vatanen Climb Dance. would be amazing to have more camera views. i always liked the driver facing ones in WRC, where you could see the absolute focus. amazing, thanks Jimmer
You've got to watch Hicky's commentated onboard of his 135 lap. This is nuts, but his is just different gravy to be going that fast on a bike
I love how his heart rate was at his highest when he was going slow and already completed the lap this just shows the happiness/adrenaline when you realise you ain’t dead and you’ve just done it
Well observed. This really is an insane thing to do. I love racing but events like this leave me with mixed feelings. The drivers that don't make it won't have to live with the consequences.
128mph average speed on the TT is seriously fast no matter what contraption your on/in. Hats off to that driver because he deserve it.
Pretty much flat for most of the Lap absolutely insane
Fitting given it's done in a Subaru
Yeah dude, i’d need a pair of whale testies to even imagine driving the TT track. Mark absolutely ing out there
@@electricabyss3071 Mark Higgins is another level
The very first thing that I thought of while watching was JC on Topgear:
"To be a racing driver you have to be able to turn the inbuilt danger switch we all have in our brains off"
This guy is a certified lunatic, absolute insanity doing those speeds a few CMs away from kerbs and less than a metre away from trees and houses.
It's also the surpreme confidence that eveything is balanced, everything will stick and hold. Just unreal. Even watching the oboard is seriously stress inducing, can feel your own body flinch at moments. He's no mere mortal that man. I have respect for the pace normal racing drivers go around a typical F1 style circuit .... but this speed is an entirely different class of driving
I got to talk to mark at goodwood for a bit. Lovely guy, very down to earth and of course a phenomenal driving talent.
16:58 I just love the way he throws the car by being aggressive on the throttle, so satisfying to watch, but the best corner for me was 11:46 that steering input is pure genius and helps him open up the curve absolutely truly insane
I'm from the IOM, and remember this lap. This car was amazing, you could hear it for miles and the sense of speed you got when it went past was amazing. Mark is a living legend.
Jimmy, could you do a video of how fast could the Praga go around the Isle of Man course? would greatly enjoy it.
^ i second this
I'd imagine it's way too bumpy for the Praga.
@@BetmmaTipsUFC i mean, maybe not in Assetto corsa lol
"The car sorta feels like part of me."
I bet a lot of drivers said the same thing, and the track felt part of them too.
Jesus Christ, I just googled the death toll and its 275. Thats over 2 each year. How is this still going.
All is good and well until a brick wall also becomes part of you.. Some skill these people have!
As someone who lives on the Isle of Man its both amazing to see my home being shown on stuff like this and get representation, but also hilarious to see people like Jimmy aghast at how insane the whole thing is. Thanks for showing this Jimmer, if you ever come for the TT I'll buy you a pint 😁
I was at this TT! 2016. I was in the Union Mills section at The Railway Pub. Absolutely Nuts. The sound of that thing!
I personally would love to see more watch alongs like this! Really enjoyed this one :) cars, bikes, sidecar racing, whatever is the most entertaining really. Love this kind of content from you Jimmer!!!
God how could I have forgotten this video?
I remember being thoroughly blown away watching it. But seeing it with a real racing drivers' insight and reactions, just makes it all the more amazing!
DRS is the evolution of aerodynamics, its just so much smarter having a wing you can open and close VS a wing that only stays closed at all times.... It just brings another level of versatility to racing and lapping.
Yeah drs can be pretty op in motorsport especially f1
"The impression of speed you get..." he says, as if it's not real life.
I would love more videos like this too! They are super entertaining to watch that crazy of driving, and your reactions are amazing haha
Cheers Jimmer. I've watched that many times; that and the 2014 attempt. It was cool to hear you throwing your commentary on it, not that it needed it but you're right, the Mountain Circuit of the Isle of Man is pure man & machine and yes, I'd watch you try to beat that in sim
He talks about the bumpy section from ginger hall to Ramsey and it is bumpy I've been down it at legal speeds on a bike and it is fucking bumpy. The fast guys on the race bike say they actually lift the arse out of the seat and ride it like a jockey to give them more control.
Truth be told, that was totally intense. But me's thinking "wait till you see Tony Pond's lap round the TT circuit - in a Rover 800. Which is most definitely not a rally car".
I remember watching this when it first came out. Just an INSANE drive on that course. Still in awe about it.
I remember watching this years ago, I also loved the commentary. Much love
I've managed about 3 clean laps of the track in AC. Took me about 20mins in a cobra, 17 something in a car faster than that subaru... so many corners to learn!
What an insane lap!!!! You need to try this in Sim Jimmer
Yeah i've been raving about this video for years.. so glad you're sharing it with your fans!
Hey Jimmy, as someone who's just come from the Isle of Man to watch the TT for the first time, it's pretty damn crazy. Love the event though, such a unique experience in motorsport. Feels like a huge track day with how close you can get to the riders, circuit, paddock, etc.
Had a WRX back in the day and man attempting a lap in that around the circuit might actually scare me more than on my bike, major steel going on with the lads that run the circuit no matter their pace. And the sidecars even more so, if you ask me.
All the best
Knowing David Higgins from how he absolutely obliterated rally here in the US (I still go back and watch the Subaru video of him blasting through the UP in the Lake Superior Performance Rally), I’m not really surprised that he has a brother who’s also an absolute lunatic behind the wheel.
I've said this before but American level rally is well below the skill level of European rally that's why David is able and was able to dominate American rally so easily
would love to see jimmer do a “how fast can X lap the isle of man TT course” vid 👀
The last time there was a car race on the IOM Snaefell course was in 1922, when the Tourist Trophy was held there. Nearly 100 years ago actually.
Loved this! This is what motorsport is all about. The car and the driver as one entity! Purest form!
There is an amazing version of this track as a mod for rFactor2 that i cannot recommend enough. such a challange to just not die let alone do a quick lap!
"One foot on the grass there"
He says clipping the apex at 150 where the apex is a grass mound and the other side of the road is a cliff face.
😳
I love watching the Kamui Kobayshi lap from Le Man a few years ago, the commitment in wvery corner was so good
I'm pretty new to your channel Jimmy but I'm so happy to see you posting this, I come back to marvel at this Isle Of Man video every so often :D
No national speed limit on Isle of Man Jimmy! The whole mountain and parts of the course you can (if it is safe) go flat out.
I got up to 130 on the mountain in my e60 530d before I bottled it. Roads starts narrowing up fucking quickly at that speed let me tell you
ah, yes. one of my favourite on boards. happy this one makes an appearance here 😁 I wish GT7 had not only the car but the track as well.
such a classic, glad to see it not being forgotten!
I remember seeing this a few years ago. Really cool video.
You should do a watch along of the TT lap record from Peter Hickman, it’s insane and he does commentary over it too!
You can appreciate the crazy super bike riders who did this knowing full well they won't be coming out of this alive.
You want to see a man who's witnessed the face of death, look at Guy Martin's crash at the TT in 2017.
Must have watched it 20 times, blows me away every time. Absolute legend
Nice video. Loved the part with the racing car!
Jimmy you may want to check out Scott McLaughin's record breaking Bathurst lap. It's pretty impressive, but a fair bit shorter.
Please do this in sim. I can't wait to see it.
This video years in still
Brings me goodbumps
Absolutely mental this entire video. Mad props to Mark 👏👏👏
Love this react content jimmy 👍
How does the driver keep his breathing and heart rate so low while going around such a demanding track
145 bpm is not low lol resting for an athlete like Higgins is like 60-70 bpm
The Heli cam from above showing the car moving around is mental!
You should get yourself over there for this years TT races Jimmy. its a special place and driving on the IOM especially on the TT course. had many good runs across the mountain section in my Mini Cooper S. proud to call the Isle of Man home when not in Canada.
Mark is Manx, doubt there would be many other drivers with the knowledge he has of our roads. although id kill to see cars lap the course as its own event.
Average speed of 128.7 MPH is insane. I'm sure there are F1 tracks with lower average speeds.
Tbf this is mostly straights, f1 car would be much faster at this track
I was watching at Ballacraine as Higgins zoomed by! Class.
I love the original video. Have watched it several times. Hearing your commentary really adds to the astonishment
Wow. I have no words for how insane and awesome that was. I did find it a little funny that he already knew he go even faster in that final sector. Such a legend!
I never get tired watching this run. Incredible.
Was there for both his lap records, Higgins is an absolute legend!
how is no one commenting that Mark's heart rate is a steady high 140's bpm while doing this... unreal and shows how confident he is in the car and himself
Up there with the CTR Yellowbird lap by Rozer on the Nordshleife (1987, no toys)! Epic drive.
Such a stunning lap. Dunno if you watched them on stream but there's an amazing clip from a previous attempt where he has "the biggest moment of my life" at the bottom of Bray Hill. It's insane. Also worth checking out some of his older videos, there's one from the Manx Rally where the he commentates all the way through it instead of the co-driver saying anything.
Also the onboard of Peter Hickman's record 135mph lap is just pure insanity, especially when you hear how calm he is about it all
“YEAH, WE’RE GREAT!”
passenger was completely oblivious
That was horrifyingly good. The trust involved on everyone's part is insane. A car at those speeds, with that momentum through towns could be devastating. It's the skill and engineering of those involved that makes it so compelling, and frankly terrifying to watch. I was quite uncomfortable watching that knowing how close the margins were for everyone there, those watching at roadside and those not just sitting in their houses. Mental.
My favourite example of that is an onboard lap where the rider hits an apex really tight at speed and knocks off his helmet-cam on a stone wall. Terrifying stuff.
SO GOOD!!!!!! I love that place and everyone that accepts the challenge!
Honestly one of my fave laptime vids, absolute mad lad. Would love to see you try to beat it in sim ;P
Definitely should more car exhibition laps during TT. I may be biased cos I live here, love this and want to see more
So epic! Blew my mind the first time I saw this, unreal skill and massive balls!😅😅
Love watching TT laps
Sooo no one gonna talk about that perfect bonk sound effects with that start now moment xDD
Man seeing you react to this video makes me want to watch you reacting to the isle of man tt bike races.
Anyway nice video Jimmer
Been fortunate to ride in a car with Mark, and it's as amazing as you expect. Also I felt fortunate to visit the Isle of Man in 2015 - what a wonderful unique place. Eating fish and chips while watching banger racing was a highlight, haha
The DRS is wild too, it's the rear spoiler bit which when it activates it slams open like a shotgun - it's wicked
Funny you say about hoonigan when on the uphill section! Can't wait to see the Honnipigasus fly
epic. hes so smooth and precise. cars a beast
Beautiful driving. The sound on that down shift tho
Jeeeebus. Love watching stuff like this but stressful even watching but can't stop.
Isle of man tt laps are insane but this is next level.
Such an epic lap, i remember watching it back in 2016.
I love this. Tony Pond doing it averaging over 100mph in a Rover Vitesse is incredible too, worth tracking down the dvd of that
Mark is every bit the driver of anyone you line up next to him. Just because he isn't a Block,...doesn't mean he isn't carrying around ginormous shnazolla's. Mark is a madman. Truly.
I think Jimmer brought it up early, but the way Mark attacks the kerbs/curbs/corners feels very rally-like. Treating the apex as if it comes earlier than you think it would in a road car. Mark's mental toughness really is the showpiece here.
1:57 right on time 🤣
good one Lucas
This looks like a fucking cartoon. It's so fast that every frame of the video looks double exposed, the dude is going through blind corners at 140mph. When I was a kid the only way to see something like this was by watching Speed Racer on Saturday mornings. Unreal.
Thanks for the upload.
Keep em coming
I went to a local rally in Maine, and couldn’t believe my eyes when Mark was there in the us series! He was insanely fast when he went past
I swear, rally cross drivers r a different breed of race car drivers. Legit balls of steel. Can ya imagine goin through here in a prototype? I mean we did have prototypes race at Targa Florio when that was part of the World Sports Car Championship.
I am going to introduce LED light for my DRS now! That’s next level cool! Thanks for the mention Jimmy!
So happy to see the Subi still kicking some bum
There's another amazing video of this car somewhere on RUclips but going around a windy mountain passage. Beautiful car
I got to see Higgins drive in the Redbull GRC at the Dirtfish Rally Compound. Guy is a beast.
