Yes ,I have just re read the proposals as posted by Malcom and the only mention of status would appear to be based on experience,no mention of what that experience might be.

I like conspiracy theories and I have just read on another TT forum that there will be free entries and prize money for the Classic TT but not for the MGP.The theory goes that the MGP will be tagged on to the end of 'classic weekend'but with little promotion thereby letting it die a slow death and the DED will be shown to be correct that the event could only survive as a long weekend jaunt.

I have not been able to verify the forgoing but it is food for thought.
