John McGuinness last year set a 131mph (thats average speed) lap and it sums up why you simply have to go to the TT at least once. Even if you dont ride a bike you will love it. Dont expect to go over in a Lamborghini and be cuddled, but youll get grudging respect if you take a Caterham or Atom. Finding somewhere conventional to stay (like a hotel) can be tricky but islanders open up their homes as sort of informal B&Bs. Look on the homestay section of the tourist boards website www.visitisleofman.com for availability. If you want somewhere to watch then we recommend the bottom of Bray Hill. www.iomtt.com MAY 29-JUNE 1 WRC Acropolis Rally, Greece The toughest rally of the year.
