I'm fairly sure there will be an electric race at next year's TT. Not because there's demand from competitors or visitors (there plainly isn't) but because this whole thing came about at the behest of politicians. Despite the fact that it obviously isn't working, if they bin it after two years they will lose face and how many politicians can you think of that will be prepared to lose face or admit they made a mistake? That would be a number less than one...

Also, it's in the public domain that they've spent quite a lot of money on it (I've heard on the grapevine that privately it's an awful lot more) so if they stop it, the intelligentsia within the Manx chattering classes will want to bring them to account over it.

It's a no-win situation frankly. Thanks for that Mr Hussain
