Unless you're the sort of anorak who cares passionately about lap times,

there's precious little entertaining sport at the TT. You see someone go

extremely unlikely to see any overtaking as you can only see a tiny

fraction of the whole course. If you want to see entertaining sport,

you're better off watching the bike racing at Silverstone. But even that

is better seen on TV for the same reason.

TV doesn't give you atmosphere, a sense of event and occasion. You could say the same
about football, you'll mostly get a better view on TV but watching at home or in a stadium
are incomparable.

For the same reason people go to concerts when they could just listen to some CDs at home.
