We stayed there once, we really enjoyed it too.https://www.metzelerttvillage.com/
Admittedly we were lucky, up to the day before we sailed tents were blowing down in the storms, but then it clamed down & ended up the best week for a long time. 
It's not at the National Sports Centre this time tho', it's on Bray Hill.........but not in the road, thankfully!

I attended my first TT in 1957 as an eight-year-old. We had a coach tour of the circuit and I am sure I remember a broad painted line across the circuit in a few places. Their position and purpose were unknown, to the extent that I may have misremembered. However, while viewing a film of the 1950 Senior I noticed what appeared to be one of these lines at - I think - the Keppel Gate complex. Can anyone help?

Just read elsewhere that Jim Finlay passed away on Christmas Eve. Jim was an early backer of Tom Herron joining the continental circus in the 70s. Jim was also heavily involved in Jackie Hughes’s career - one of your quintessential 70’s Irish road racers who was at the very sharp end before a bad accident at the 79 Manx. It is / was Jim’s food service firm (Sunflower) that has been the long time backer of the big end of season short circuit in Northern Ireland. For the longest time, Tom’s 127.6 lap record in 1978 of the NW200 on Jim’s OW31 was the fastest in Britain.

It might be just me, but I have an aversion to freely ‘sharing’ my personal information by accepting cookies, unless I choose to. However the IOMTT Fact Zone (which I’ve happily referred to for years) has recently introduced a new cookie ‘vacuum cleaner’ perhaps for financial gain. There is a simple ‘Consent’ choice on the function but no simple reject choice except by choosing to ‘Manage Options’ and tediously trawling through and rejecting each of the ‘134 TCF vendor(s) and 64 ad partner(s) cookies’ The function claims the ‘IOMTT asks for your consent to use your personal data’. However, it doesn’t really ask ‘for your consent to use your personal data’ as you’re compelled, as previously noted, to trawl through it and rejecting each of the ‘134 TCF vendor(s) and 64 ad partner(s)’ etc in turn’. Is it just me or do any other forum members who regularly access the IOMTT Fact Zone share my concern?

Matt Stevenson will return to competing for his own family run team this year after parting ways with Dafabet Racing.
