However, if this does come in, the effect on IOM held events could well be a great many less entrants from the UK and Europe generally. 

Where the TT and Manx are concerned, EU based riders may well have a hell of a time trying to get in sufficient track meetings experience without incurring a lot of added expense, in order to thereby obtain their Mountain Licence.

Conversely, Manx Riders may well not be able to ride in EU based events,  if they do not provide proof of the required Insurance cover in order to have entry granted for any meetings held in Europe !!!


Sign the petition and hope that Mr Grayling pulls his finger out and does something about this.

Calm down dears - its only the EU!!

They know its a cock-up and they are going to urgently make changes as they recognise it is a mistake, remember that F1 and motogp plus most other top level offroad motorsport is run by european organizations and global corporations who actually pull the strings in Brussells. The uk government is consulting on what to do if necessary and there is a consultation document which spells out the options - the correct answer is option 3 , I think, which basically confines insurance to be needed on the road basically and thats the one we need them to aim at - I think thats their favourite as well. 

Of course if Brussels messes up a newly free UK would, in effect, become the IOM to Europe and we would be a mecca for all the petrol heads in the EU - we'd have to stage about 7 'San Marino GPs' to keep Bernie in Sanatogen  tho. 

So sign the petition and fill out the consultation and hopefully we'll be free of being ruled by foreign numties soon anyway.
