My wife and I will be flying to the Island tomorrow and we'll be marshalling in both Thursday sessions. The situation for the competitors, particularly the classic competitors, must be really stressful at the moment and we're happy to help, but it does remind me of 'the good old days' when practice wasn't the problem it is now. We first competed at the MGP in 1993 when morning practice was still in operation and the Thursday session was a long one, as it will be tomorrow. I hope for everyone's sake that from now the practice and races go ahead as planned.
