Earlier this month, Subaru driver Mark Higgins set a blazing average speed of 128.72 mph at one of the most treacherous race courses there is at the Isle of Man TT race. The record-shattering lap was fun enough to watch from outside of the car, but now there’s footage from inside—narrated by Higgins himself.

The shattered record was Higgins’ own, which was at 19 minutes and 15 seconds two years ago. He first beat the record with a time of 17:49.75 this year, only to lower it down to 17:35 just two days later. The car runs made for some amazing GIFs, and some even better on-board footage.

The heart-rate monitor, temperature gauge and elevation chart that frame the video make it even more fun to watch:

If 20 minutes of car action wasn’t enough and you’d like to ride along for the record-breaking motorcycle run around the race course—which went under 17 minutes—head on over here to watch it. There’s 360-degree ride footage from another rider, too.
