If our friend from the BBC wants to know anything of the sportsmanship and camaraderie to be found in the "paddock hotel" he should ignore the fake and superficial TT paddock hotel and instead visit the Manx Grand Prix.

Where he'll meet real people with a common cause helping each other to achieve personal success even if that is just finishing a race.
A place where help, guidance, technical advice, the loan of just about any tool or part and even a shoulder to cry on can always be found.

Of course if the ACU have their way..................................????
