Can you tell us unequivocally that all riders will have to have a TT Course License? Or will the brand new tax avoiding entity the ACU Events (IOM) Ltd bend the rules with the permission of their insurance colleagues? We are told that at least one of the bikes is capable of 120mph.
Also do you know if the £100,000 that the event will cost the IOM Govt. will be shown as a TT cost overrun in next years budget report?
Sorry to ask so many questions but who is actually organising this event? Azhar Hussain, ACU Events (IOM) Ltd., The Dept.of Tourism and Leisure, Paul Philips, Parker Enterprises, Greenpeace?
Finally who are you and who do you work for?

Many thanks for your support, Don.
Rules and regulations can be accessed via the TTXGP website.

Riders need licenses, yes.

I cannot comment on IOM govt finances.

TTXGP, under Azhar Hussain, is "the organiser", working closely with the IOM govt, TTMA & TT management (not necessarily in that order) ;-)

I am a biker, a TT marshal, (marshalled MotoGP last year too but ACU now don't automatically allow TT marshals to marshal short circuit but thats another debate).... I am a member of the TTXGP team but if you want to know exactly who I am I'm one of the new breed "Net Gen" who doesn't mind being all over the internet as I work there, professionally, running a charity.
