There used to be a perception that if you came from somewhere "exotic" you had more chance of being accepted.
Perhaps that is no longer the case, and it's not where you live, but what you can do that matters.

Sorry Helen total BS, overseas riders have to book thier travel months in advance, they also have to seek out machines in plenty of time. Overseas riders should be considered at a very early stage, as early as just after the TT. As Gary said very bad PR.

The TT should now run a race for up and comers to include those that have supported the TT during the bad times that may now not be on the same pace as in the past. The TT is a HISTORY so should be treated as such not just a Business.
