The TT can not be compared to carpar races, The costs for spectators to get and stay here is far greater than that spent at the carparks. How many towns in the UK would put up with the disruption that the Islands residents have to NONE. Yes the TT is expensive to run but the IOM does well out of it, for every £1 brought to the Island by visitors is worth more than £10 to the locals by the time the first £1 has done the rounds, its called new money in circulation.
But the way the TT is being run now with all the charges visitors and locals will cut back on spending so the value on the original £1 will be far less.
Fare point about PP hes done a fine job with the races but the work hes done will be killed off by the greed of the others involved with the TT. better to have a slice of the cake than non at all.
