I too was at the presentation on Friday night. Peter Hindley has given an impressive, balanced, and very accurate account of what was on offer.

Gordon Bennett, I'm surprised and disappointed that so many "TT Fans" have conveniently forgotten the history of their chosen sport that evolved initially in a whirl of invention and innovation. Faced with, potentially, an even greater step in the development of world transport taking place on the TT Course, many have chosen to put their heads in the sand, and many more have decided to pour scorn on the very idea of change.

I am uncertain as to whether this project will remain a part of TT events in years to come. I suspect that the Isle of Man TT may host this as another ground-breaking first, but it may quickly move on to another venue. However, there can be no more appropriate stage for its introduction.

If the TTXGP gets off the ground in 2009, in any form, it will be a remarkable achievement in world terms. I believe that we should support it, if only for the new pioneering spirit that Azhar Hussain is trying to bring to the Isle of Man, at a time when support could not be more difficult to find.
