I heard this afternoon that my second favourite corner on the mountain course, windy corner, has had a speed limit of 40 mph enforced.
Can anyone confirm this?
Has the Manx government succumbed to nanny state pressure?

I've just checked some footage I took on a run round there a couple of weeks ago. It's a red triangle sign showing the left hander with the advisory 40mph below. Not a red ringed compulsory 40.

It is indeed a big open right hander. You can see right across the top of the valley and give it proper large if theres no traffic coming the other way.
Iain, I think you're mixing it up with the top of Hailwoods?
Looey, I assume you're over there now, enjoy!

Yeah I've probably done 100+ runs over the Mountain over the last 7 years, so know it pretty well You'll be able to give it large alright, it's one way  There's been 2 bad crashes today, so it's been shut half the day  I've been over and can confirm there's no speed limit on Windy corner  . There is 40mph warning triangle on the left hand side of the road as you approach (the same as in iainw's pic, but with the arrow pointing to the right......lol) |

Wouldn't 40mph be flat out on the bantam? |
