So how did the bikes get through scrutineering? If carbon wheels are not allowed, I assume on safety grounds, or is it just to reduce costs, how was it not picked up by those who inspected and I assume passed the machines fit to compete?

That's just one of the questions and difficulties with a conflict of the Irish rulebook and the FIM homologation. The carbon wheels are standard on the production BMW's and the rules are they must race on the standard wheels as that is the homologation. At the same time the rules don't allow after market replacements to be used. Seeley who won the race was allowed to run his BMW on forged aluminum wheels which are a factory option and not the standard carbon supposedly homologated version. the-race.com/motorcycle-racing/massive-nw200-controversy-explained-as-leading-team-exits/

The Bradford man recorded the fastest speed of practice week so far at 133.514mph on the DAO Racing Kawasaki on his second lap after a standing start lap of 133.284mph in glorious sunshine around the 37.73-mile Mountain Course. Harrison also recorded the first lap under the 17-minute mark with a time of 16m 57.329s. Northern Ireland’s Michael Dunlop – fastest on Monday – was only 1.12s down on Harrison’s benchmark as he completed two laps on his Hawk Racing Honda, setting his quickest speed this week so far at 133.367mph as the session was short-flagged. Peter Hickman, the outright lap record holder and fastest on Tuesday, slotted into third after he did one lap on his Monster Energy by FHO Racing BMW at 131.862mph from a standing start. Yorkshire’s Jamie Coward set his fastest ever TT lap in fourth, clocking 130.94mph on the KTS Racing/Steadplan Honda for the fourth fastest time. Manxman Conor Cummins (Milenco by Padgett’s Honda) and John McGuinness (Honda Racing UK) completed the top six with laps of 130.615mph and 130.035mph respectively. In the Superstock class, Hickman posted the fastest lap so far at 133.284mph after doing two laps on the M1000RR. Dunlop was second fastest at 132.694mph from a standing start with Davey Todd (Milenco by Padgett’s Honda) in third at 131.711mph, which he also did from a standing start. Cummins (129.825mph), Harrison (129.148mph) and OMG Yamaha’s James Hillier (127.761mph) finalised the first six on the time sheets. Hickman led the Supersport times with the fastest lap of the week on his Trooper Triumph by PHR at 127.206mph after completing two laps, putting him 17.582s ahead of Harrison on the BPE by Russell Racing Yamaha (125.145mph). Dunlop, whose 127.019mph lap from Monday is the second quickest overall, was third on his MD Racing Yamaha (124.973mph) ahead of Todd (124.579mph), Coward (124.484mph) and Rob Hodson on the Dafabet Kawasaki (123.195mph).Young prospect Jim Hind impressed in seventh with a lap of 123.005mph while Mike Browne was ninth fastest at 122.254mph on the Burrows Engineering/RK Racing Yamaha ahead of Jordan in eighth on the PreZ Racing Yamaha (121.672mph). In the Supertwin session, held along with the Supersport machines after qualifying for both classes were cancelled on Tuesday due to an oil spill between Barregarrow and Kirk Michael, it was Coward to went to the top on the KTS Racing/Steadplan Kawasaki (120.912mph). Cork’s Browne did two laps on the Burrows/RK Racing Paton and went second quickest at 119.787mph, with Aussie Josh Brookes in third on the Dafabet Racing Kawasaki (116.937mph). Ballymoney rider Dunlop, unofficially under his own Supertwin lap record on Monday at 122.907mph on the MD Racing Paton, did not go out. In the Sidecars, Ben and Tom Birchall did their fastest ever qualifying lap at 118.523mph from a standing start on their LCR Honda.

It is with great sadness that the Isle of Man TT Races can confirm the loss of Raul Torras Martinez following an incident on the final of lap of the first Supertwin Race of the 2023 Isle of Man TT Races.

He's done it. Peter hickman 60 is the winner of the RL360 group Superstock TT Race 2, not only setting a new Superstock lap record, but also setting a new outright lap record of 136.358mph.
