The Treasury Department have just released an "Expression of Interest" as per the following:-

The Department of Economic Development wishes to capitalise on the growing success of the Isle of Man TT brand through the creation of a global TT World Series.

The objective of the proposal is to create additional income streams for the Isle of Man from the TT brand through a series of road race events which reflect the character and values of the TT.

The TT World Series must provide an attractive and commercial opportunity for participating locations whilst protecting the reputation of the Isle of Man and the commercial potential of the TT brand.

Expressions of Interest are invited from individuals and/or businesses that have a proven track record in relevant consultancy work particularly in Global Motorsport to carry out a feasibility study into the TT World Series initiative.


So, can we look forward to a Carmelo Ezpeleta and/or a Bernie Ecclestone type character coming forward to promote and develop the TT "brand" worldwide ?

I wonder how that is going to pan out ???
