This year's TT, can't remember which day. A shower of rain had fallen just south of Ramsey, on the Hairpin. The previous day, a race had been started on a wet track and several riders had fallen over, so the start on this day was delayed. And delayed. And delayed. etc.etc.
Even though the rest of the Island was hot and sunny, the course is overshadowed by trees at the Hairpin, so it wasn't drying out. Two or three times, I think, the course was handed over to Mitsubishi to drive a demo lap in WRC cars. A demo lap, singular. Why didn't the CoC tell them to drive repeatedly over the wet patch at race , or as near race speed as was safe, and dry it out. It was a nice sunny day, but by the gods it was boring!
