I've just heard Mr Mylchreest on Manx Radio and there does indeed seem to be a pungent aroma about all this. He said he was given just a couple of days to produce a tender and given no opportunity to counter Audi's offer.

Having Audi on board for two years is all very well in the short term but then what? I suggest the new organisers need to be very careful about who they alienate if the TT is to continue...
