Like the old days. They should be abel to get at least 2laps in. Just a thought Ive spoke to a few other Marshals who said they would also come forward if needed. Dosent affect the traffic as much as an early evening start all the best Irish Ago......


Sorry Ago but it won't work. The battery powered entries will just about do one lap per charge.

I've copied this next bit across from a post I put on a similar thread going on tt.com:

My brother is a logistics analyst. I've just been speaking to him about this and he's had a simple and workable idea about how to avoid this whole fiasco. You simply send the TTxGP riders out at the tail end of the rookie lap on the first saturday of practice, again after the sidecar rookie lap on the same evening and there's usually a few stragglers requiring a third rookie lap on the monday evening.

Now, two things have to happen in order to make this work:

1) The rookie laps have to be conducted in under 50 minutes, which I'm quite sure wouldn't be a problem

2) The battery powered entries will need to be able to swap batteries during the course of solo practice

This way the three extra qualifying laps needed can be fitted into the existing schedule with the minimum of disruption and most certainly without the need to close the roads an hour earlier. Can anyone see any problem in doing this 'cos I'm damned if I can...

By the way, he's not suggesting this out of a burning desire to see TTxGP succeed - he hates it as much as I do - but he IS concerned about the negative impact this poorly conceived event is beginning to have on the TT & MGP in general.
