Yes folks, it's a month earlier this year! to try & get better weather, apparently.
Anyway, this could be a good 'un!
'More than 1 TT winner will be on track' is what they have said!!!
John McGuinness is listed in the entries, along with Storm Stacey (BSB runner)
& Andy Hornby & the Black Eagle MV Agusta racing team (they've fielded Dean Harrison, Lee Johnston & Michael Dunlop in the Classic TT in years gone by)
+ of course, myself & the Famous Mr. Led! 

Just a few weeks ago the event was in danger of being cancelled, due to low entries, but it's looking good now, good forecast & resurfaced track!!

Anybody know the date of booking the for the ferry for 2025 please?
Thanks in advance.

In the 2022 TT I ended up getting covid 2024 i come home with covid again my theory is i must have got on the ferry coming over but I can't be definite about it anybody else come home with it.

Don't know what you chaps think but I use to love getting up and putting the radio on at the TT. But this year the lady presenter that did the morning show really got on my nerves this year. The music was also poor in my opinion.Johnny Moss was his usual witty self. I also miss the likes of Roy Moor. He could easily fill in a hour or two between races. I can't see us going back to the days off " Over to Roy Moor at the hair pin". But it would be nice for him to still play a part in the build up or between races. The other thing was how quick they shut it down after the sinor . No afterburner show it was like the TT hadn't happened. A few events on the Sunday would be nice just to help wind down to next year.

Well, another TT is done.

New format doesn't work with poor weather. I talked to loads of people about this and not one person was in favour of it. Maybe, i talked to all the wrong people or that is the general feeling

I were over for ten days, it were a 50/50 split with the weather in the ten days. The first weekend was great, warm sunshine and blue skies.

Monday the Friday was difficult, we got most of the races in but there were delays and cancellations galore. Very tricky weekdays.

I watched from morown, barregarrow crossroads, union mills hall x 2, and Glen duff. All great.

Was great to witness some history being made, Michael Dunlop becoming the most successful ever and Davy Todd joining the top end, two wins was great to see. Also some great podiums.... Brookes and Herbertson were refreshing faces spraying the champers.

Overall, I've enjoyed TT2024, there's been ups and downs but I'm glad i were there witnessing first hand the things i saw.

Now, roll on the manx grand prix.

What's your thoughts?

.....Michael Dunlop in terms of wins.
Question is, who stands a chance of surpassing this record in the future - not sure anyone is currently able, a star of the future if this sport is able to continue

Conor Cummins has withdrawn from the event with immediate effect. He didn't look very happy when he parked it the other day. https://www.autosport.com/roadracing/new...n%20outfit.

Well, the new format worked last year as it were perfect weather. But, as we all know, a perfect weather TT is as rare as hens teeth.

This week, since Sunday, we've not had a race day to schedule... Tuesday lost, Wednesday lost. Now Thursdays racing is three shortened races but i fear we'll fall foul of the weather again.

In my opinion, there's too much in a short source. The old format had much more wiggle room.....
Race Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.... With contingency days following.

We'll see races dropped from the schedule this week i suspect, which is far from ideal for teams that have invested heavily into entering and  running twins and superstockers for two races instead of the standard one.

Maybe the TT is driven by media dictates and a quest for emptying pockets.

Great to see the Crows win today.

Michael Dunlop wins todays supersport race, he now has 26 wins making him the  "New joint King of the Moutain" to share with his uncle Joey Dunlop, fantastic race.
