TT races in jeopardy - massive row between between race officials and Govt.


Last Updated:19/06/2006 07:27:37


The future of the TT races is serious jeopardy if a rift between the Department of Tourism and the Manx Motor Cycle Club cannot be resolved.

Energy FM revealed on Friday that the Tourism, Minister David Cretney terminated the Clubs contract to run the races, stating that he wanted changes to be made before the contract could be renegotiated. Neither party have indicated what those changes are.

But organising an International race meeting requires officials with the neccessary permits and licences - realistically the Manx Motor Cycle Club are the only organisation with the infrastructure to run the TT safely, most having been part of the original ACU team prior to the Governing body handing over control to the Department of Tourism.

A source within the club told Energy FM that currently - TT 2007 has no organisers - No organisers means no racing.

Notes: The ACU is the Auto Cycle Union, the governing body of motorcycle competition. They ran the TT until 2003 where a 20 year agreemnet was signed to hand over the event to the Manx Government. They in turn contract a recognised ACU Motorclub to operate the race meeting under ACU permit.



interesting stuff.........any body knows the inside story on this ???
