Is that a paddle shifting automatic he's using?

Here is Mark Higgins full lap in 2014 with a nice commentary.
It is amazing how he can remember the whole 38 mile course. I have trouble on a 2 mile road course until I've driven 10-20 laps.

It's a manual with a sequential style shifter.

Why does the windshield banner keep switching from Gran Turisimo to Subaru?

My thoughts too..practice lap then run lap, edited to give you the best shots?

Yikes, the start of the video looks like an accident recovery scene! Isle of Man is one of those holdover events from a different age, so dangerous and outrageous. Doing it in a car isn't much less insane.

Yes, very dangerous and outrageous. This year two riders were killed in the TT races for motorcycles.

I think it ended up being 5 riders died this year in the end.

Bonkers to watch.
