Default Subaru WRX STI Isle of Man - full lap

Mark Higgins is letting a new STI rip through the Isle of Man TT course. Amazing speeds with no room for error.

TT is always impressive on a bike, but I would argue that it is equally insane in a car. His commentary certainly adds to the experience. Nice BPM stats too!

i love the part where he just passed the top of the mountain portion and commented "that's a huge drop off on the right, luckily for left hand drive I couldn't see it"

That is crazy fast on that course ! No runoff room, walls, dropoffs and other major obstacles. It is a wonder that many are not killed. Not for me !

He nearly was last year (maybe the year before) when he got in a right tank slapped on one section. He carried on doing the commentary though!
