The Isle of Man TT is a century old motorcycling event on the beautiful island off the Irish coast.

Part of the marketing for next year’s event is a card game.

The card game features the best performances from all of the leading riders and cards are won and lost on statistics such as fastest lap, most TT wins and number of appearances on the Mountain Circuit.

As well as being available for purchase from Motorsport Merchandise outlets, the game will also be available in a special Irish Racer Magazine spread and on-line.

Fox News posted their video on BGG.con. I can’t see any way of embedding it, so you’ll just have to go there. It’s got the usual clueless reporting, but it’s fun to see Derk and the gang.
