7 TRAVELLING ALLOWANCE
Whilst no concessions for competitors are currently available directly from any travel companies accessing the Isle of Man, the Department of Tourism and Leisure will offer a travelling allowance to all competitors travelling to the Island. This allowance is tiered depending on the origin of each solo rider and sidecar driver and the estimated cost of travel. This allowance will be available from the 31st May 2008 and will only be paid to riders who have commenced practice.
The allowance will be paid in GBP and will be available by cheque from the Cashiers Office at the TT Grandstand, or by electronic payment direct to a bank account of the riders and drivers choosing. All competitors qualifying for an allowance must stipulate their preferred method of payment on the entry form. This allowance is only available to competitors competing in the TT Races on the Mountain Circuit.
The travel allowance is tiered as follows:
• UK Mainland Solo £500
• UK Mainland Sidecar £550
• NI, Eire and Europe Solo £600
• NI, Eire and Europe Sidecar £650
• Rest of World Solo £700
• Rest of World Sidecar £750
