It’s the oldest and most dangerous race in the world. For millions, it’s also the most exciting. Australian V8 legend Mark Skaife travels to the tax haven island of The Isle of Man to be a guest reporter for Sunday Night. Staggering speeds in excess of 300 km/hr, racing along winding roads and the beautiful countryside.

Mark follows the fortunes of the lone Aussie entrant, Cameron Donald as he takes on the challenge once again one year after a brush with death.

Excerpts from the documentary TT3D: Closer to the edge were used in this story. The documentary will be available in theatres nationwide on October 20 through Icon Film Distribution.
