If you travel over to the MGP to spectate you do in a way contribute to the expenses of privateers. Every time you spend money in the IOM, a proportion of that money will be end up as tax that eventually goes towards the IOM Gov running costs of the MGP. You can always help sponsor a rider, most riders are most grateful for any sponsorship ,however big or small the amount is.
