sticky Wrote:This is taken from the TTXGP website:

"Manx GP riders who have completed qualifications for the Mountain Circuit in time for the TT will be eligible to take part in the TTXGP without losing access to the Manx Grand Prix. They can race the TTXGP and return to the MGP without penalty.

This ruling applies ONLY to TTXGP and NOT to any other class of the TT.

Our thanks to the Manx Grand Prix for being supportive and allowing this exception within their regulations.

Team TTXGP"


I was always under the impression that the ACU rather than the MMCC had dictated that a potential rider could not qualify for TTXGP alone but had to qualify for another class too. If that remains the case, then MGP riders remain excluded. If that's NOT the case then everybody needs to get their acts together PDQ since entries close tomorrow!

I queried this on the TTXGP site on Saturday. Azhar replied that TTXGP riders will NOT be required to ride in another class at the TT to qualify. This suggests that the 6/5 lap minimum practice rule does not apply to the TTXGP, and that only the two laps of practice, with one within qualifying time will be enough for a start.
I presume this must have been agreed by the ACU, as this was one of my questions.
I also agree that it would have been a good idea if this could have been clarified more that two days before the closing dates for entries, enabling more MGP riders to have the opportunity to take part!
