This use to be a huge event when I was a kid. You would see Moto GP and World Superbike ranked racers come to NZ during their off season to race in it. Unfortunately, it's just another event these days with average riders and it's marketed so poorly.
Average riders? The fastest ever rider to lap the tt with 14 tt wins, peter hickman. Snr tt winner Davey Todd. Nzsbk ledgen Tony Rees, and son mitch rees. British Supersport rider Morgan mclaren wood. It's not what it used to be but nethier is anything in new zealand. Lap records where set this year and the top guys aren't just "Average".

Cheers mate. Yea brilliant day and awesome to see these big name guys here. long may it continue
Its a great way to spend boxing day,nothing like being there.video doesnt gibe justice to how quick those bikes are going.cheers man
Yea, you can't beat the noise and the proximity to them flying past. Cheers
I'd love to take me old sporty around that circuit!
I raced a 400 round there way back in the day and that was awesome fun. I don't know how they do it on the big bikes.
I might need to dust off the old girl next year. It's been a while 😂

That flag marshal should not be standing where he is. He should be behind a barrier. Unbelievable.
Yea I thought it could off-putting for the riders too.
