Lost my deposit on lodgings but at least thats cheaper than paying full amount and losing the lot.

I will buy a modern and enter MGP next year.


What is the opinion of the forum as to the sorry state of affairs with the MGP Classic entries then. I know what splashdown says with the onset of the TT but there was plenty of time before the TT or is that the plant to get the TT up and running and approach as many of the TT riders as possible to fill up the MGP Classic places.

With the upsurge in popularity of the Manx Grand Prix there is no assurance that a modern bike will get you a ride either. The last few years have seen newcomers numbers double to what was entered a few years ago  I think its around 70 plus this year. if a lot of these riders want to return there is not enough spaces on grids to accomadate them which is a real shame.
Personally I have my newcomers ride but the second race on Wendnesday in the lightweight has been turned down as the race is oversubscribed. So I will be just watching and enjoying instead.
