The DTL put several prizes up of a couple of weeklong trips all paid to say a Spanish GP, Macau, Daytona, and to qualify for the prize a Marshall would receive a draw ticket for every session they attended. It would not cost the DTL a penny as most Tourist Departments receive free-Be Holidays.
Attend 10 sessions get 10 chances to win a Holiday for two.

Fantastic idea. Plus how about each competitor adds £5 to his/her entry to fund such a holiday.

I know I know blindfold is ready

Competitors pay enough as it is, it should be funded by the DTL, as I said the DTL will be like most travel agents they get free holidays as promotions.

Week for to at Daytona races inc digs, flights and car less than £1000 from IOM.
Spanish GP weeks holiday for two,inc flights, digs. tickets and coach to track about £800. vip trip = http://www.motoexpress.co.uk/valencia_motogp.htm
NW200 same as above for about £500
so it not expensive. And I'm 100% sure that if the airlines or steam packet were approached in the right way a lot more could be done for the Marshall's and families. The way I see it is No Marshalls No Racing, No Racing No spectators, No spectators the IOMSP and airlines are in the poo
