If you ever wanted a POV shot from a bike zooming around a circuit at 200mph, this World Superbike rider has you covered.
Tarran Mackenzie was riding along the track at Phillip Island, in hot pursuit of two Honda CBR 1000RR riders.
To see the action from the perspective of the rider is truly remarkable.
There will undoubtedly be moments that will make you draw breath, but that’s part of the fun, right?
This World Superbike rider is going at 200mph and it’s thrilling to see
The video was shared to Tarran Mackenzie’s YouTube channel back in March, and has amassed hundreds of thousands of views since.
The Scottish motorcycle racer has a lot of accolades to his name, including winning the 2021 British Superbike Championship back in 2021.
He’s competed in competitions around the world, so he’s evidently the guy to show the internet the way on a track.
Because let’s face it, the vast majority of us will likely never get to experience motorsports from this perspective.
And what better arena to experience it in than at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Australia?
This track pans out to 2.764 miles long and has been in use since on-and-off for nearly 100 years.
But to see it as it is now, it looks anything but dated.
This winding track is enough to make the most strong-stomached feel a little woozy from a POV shot.
But Mackenzie makes it look easy.
Well, not quite, it still looks pretty hard – but it doesn’t look like he’s breaking a sweat in the process.
To see him chase up on two Honda CBR 1000RR riders is mesmerizing.
At one point, the bike in front looks as if it will topple turning a corner.
But this is just the riders flexing their skills.
It’s hard to not be impressed by the footage.
You’ve got to love a POV video
Thanks to the internet, we’re treated to POV videos all over the place.
They allow us to momentarily imagine ourselves in place of the person filming the video.
And we’ve seen our fair share of astonishing videos.
Whether it’s a Mustang GT3 making its way around the Nürburgring or a F1 car shooting down an Autobahn, we’ve seen plenty of cars in action from the drivers seat.
But it’s not just on the ground we’re seeing things from the driver’s eye – take a look at this unbelievable cockpit video.
