RE: TT 2023 Schedule Changes
I read somewhere the organisers think the island is at capacity for visitors and they're aiming for two lots of visitors.
I'm not convinced though, it means the marshals (unpaid) have only two days off in a fortnight. The roads are closed much more often.
Whilst the racing is the biggest part of a TT visit for me, I also like to ride the islands roads and see, do, visit and enjoy an holiday.
Delays, postponements, cancellations will throw a real big spanner into the tight wiggle room plan. I suspect the organisers don't care about that though, they've got the visitors and they're cash captive on the island.
I liked it how it was, I'll have to get used to how it's become. I too did the survey, it doesn't matter what i think!
=======================================================================
See you on the island

RE: TT 2023 Schedule Changes
For me, a big issue about these changes is how poorly the rationale has been communicated (something I made clear when I participated in the consultation)
In the modern era, poor communication invariably leads to much speculation and misinformation, in particular on social media. For example one post regarding the post TT races not going ahead next year was interpreted on Facebook as "no southern 100"
So here is a link to the rationale behind the changes, it's worth a read:
https://consult.gov.im/economic-developm...s%20v3.pdf
In my opinion, instead of being a link on the consultation web page to a PDF file, it should have formed part of the consultation document, so that responders could at least understand the rationale, process and thinking behind the changes
Whilst I may not agree with everything in the document, it does identify the thinking behind the changes
Definitely worth a read IMHO and hopefully provoke some additional debate on this social media site....

This definitely should have been more prominent. Though based on the social media panic about the changes, few read beyond the headline before making their mind up anyway.
