Whilst I believe that this was worth investigating, I am horrified to find that over £200,000 has been spent on 'consultants' when there are enough educated people on the island who, without an axe to grind would have given a good indication of the likelihood of this thing flying.

If this was such a good idea, why was it not handed over to tender for companies to do their own research and come up with a proposition? That would have cost nothing!

I would like to see it happen, it won't affect the TT itself other than create more interest. I do have reservations though and think that a road racing world championship, left to individual race organisers and run through the FIM would probably be a better bet? The TT would be a major round of this, a bit like TTF1, which was seen off because of its own success, with manufacturers building road going replicas of their F1 bikes which spawned WSBK.
