4. The track is INSANE. Take a look at the layout:

By the way: this isn't an "ancient race that doesn't happen anymore". The later shots are from the 2005 edition.

5. Yeah, I've seen a documentary on it
It's just nuts, I could never do it at those speeds. I think it's just about completely unsponsored, too, for obvious legal reasons.

9. Cool.
1st time I've seen any footage of the really old bikes (Brough-Superiors, thirties Vincents, and the like) racing. And the Tourist Trophy course is one of the classic circuits.
