Watch Guy Martin Chase Down A BMW At 200 MPH At The Isle Of Man
Watch Guy Martin Chase Down A BMW At 200 MPH At The Isle Of Man-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:23

Guy Martin, British racing ace and potential Jeremy Clarkson replacement, still hasn't taken home a win at the Isle of Man. It's certainly not for a lack of trying, as evidenced by this face-melting video from the TT.

Martin placed 2nd and 6th in two classes at last year's race, hitting an average speed of 128 MPH in the Superbike race on this Tyco Suzuki GSX-R 1000. This might be the last time we see Martin on a Suzuki, with the Tyco team switching to BMWs for the 2015 season.
