Malcolm,
I am amazed that you havent been deemed worthy of a press pass for this years TT.
I think I heard that the number of passes has been cut by almost 50% from previous years.
Maybe they have had to make the cutbacks to fund all the improvements to the press centre?
There seems to be less "Official" information regarding the results and lap times etc than there has been for the last few years.
Seems strange in this day and age???
Yes, I do think that transponder timing is the way to go, but maybe they should have just concentrated on getting accurate lap times and speeds released, instead of all the split times around the circuit. They could have built on these additional features in future years.
Someone seems to have forgotten that the TT course isnt just a short circuit!
