You beat me to that by a short head, Sticky.
TT "Organisers" don't want foreigners, they want "BSB on Roads".
The North-West 200 has gone the same way.
It will take just one BSB hotshot, who's real roadracing experience is minimal (if indeed any!), to apply Donington/Brands/Croft/Snet tactics in the wrong place at the wrong time and meet some of the roadside furniture, for the curtain to come down on the whole circus.
Maybe that's what they want??
I fear for Mr Brookes

RE: Foreign Riders in the TT
And what about the Mountain Course licence, with 6 likewise events you have to race to get one.
Does Karl Harris has ever raced a "Road Race" in the last 12 months??
Lots of European Riders with good quality who want to race the TT but it would cost them the same as a whole racing season at their home turf.

Don't forget, the ACU in their wisdom (or stupidity) define any tarmac race (e.g. Brands, Croft, Snetterton etc) as a "road race".
What does that tell you about their thinking??
