The Manx Motor Cycle Club is very concerned at inaccurate statements made on Manx Radio by a representative of KPMG on Wednesday 2 May 2012.

In particular visitors over the Manx Grand Prix Festival period have INCREASED, as recognised by the IOM Government, since Government started to promote the Festival. Furthermore, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s arrival figures for 2011 show that over the MGP Festival period 27,128 people were carried. The arrival figures over the equivalent TT period were 33,712.

In addition public statements have been made by various people, implying that the proposed Classic Races for 2013 are an innovation – we would point out that the Manx Motor Cycle Club has been running Classic Races since 1983, although since 2005 Classic entries have reduced by 50%.
