A newcomer for TT 2011 is spending the weekend driving around the mountain course in a hire car, trying to learn as much as possible.
Twenty-four-year-old Scottish rider Jimmy Storrar began racing in 2004 and has taken part in the National Superstock Championship since 2007.
He competed at Macau last November and finished 7th, one place behind John McGuinness and one ahead of Cameron Donald.
Storrar is delighted with the package he has for his Isle of Man debut:
FC Isle of Man returning to league action at Barnoldswick Town
Ravens' latest opponents on six-match winning streak
Hockey: Compact mixed schedule on the cards this weekend
Multiple relegation scraps to take place across divisions
Rugby: Busy triple-header beckons at Ballafletcher
Douglas to welcome Kirkby Lonsdale in Regional 2 North West
Football: Race for Railway Cup qualification hotting up
Four points separates premier league top five going into the weekend
