The great thing about the TT is that entrants don't have a massive amount of time each year on the track... so it takes some time to really burn into your memory the track... and then
of course, pavement changes each year.

You are talking about a 60km long racetrack that takes over 17 minutes to lap.... compare to say Phillip Island GP which is about 1:30. If you have a few practice runs each year and then
a race, how many laps are you actually getting in before you race?

There's just so many factors at play... it's the greatest motorcycle race on the planet. Interestingly enough, the somewhat equivalent on the car circuit, the Targa Florio has long been
shut down over it's craziness and fatalities.
