It took the best part of an hour. But I was sticking to the speed limits in deference to the camera being able to view the speedo at times. That, and the fog over the mountain was so thick in places. In some ways it sums up the Isle of Man; sun, rain and fog in less than an hour.
Tony Pond just managed to do a lap in a rover 800 years ago that broke the 100mph average. It took him about three years to do it, and he had to ditch the co-driver that he had at first (for pace notes) because the extra weight was a problem. I'd love to see how quick something with an M badge could lap.
