For such a large event, why is there only an hours highlights each evening? I understand the nature of the event may not lend itself to live coverage that well but an hours highlights after we all know the results seems a bit skinny. (or do the results not come in for ages after? I have to admit being new to this!)

It's just not a popular sport, really. Viewing numbers aren't that high so they won't dedicate more time to it.

Think of the area you have to cover. And being a time trial, the 'battle' isn't necessarily happening all in one clump. It would be prohibitively expensive to try and film all of it, and a logistical nightmare to try and put together a full race edit within a few hours.

I think the highlights we get is ample coverage for a very niche event, especially as you can follow it live on the internet via the radio feed, live timing and very efficient posting of photos online. You can enjoy the race 'as intended' and then watch the nicely-packaged highlights later on. Thumbs Up

Do you have to pay subscription to get the F1/MotoGP? Or does it use free less-than-legal streaming apps?

Just about to head down to Braddan Bridge for the practice session.
First away will be the solo newcomers at 1815 followed by the sidecar newcomers at 1830, these are both escorted non timed laps.
Practice for Superbike, Superstock and Supersport will follow at 1845.

Practice and race times can be followed online on the TT Live Dashboard on www.iomtt.com which displays realtime transponder timings, commentary can be heard live by clicking the radio link.

The bastards have blocked access to the webcams from non IOM ip addresses.

And anonymouse appears to not work either.
