Is TT sustainable
Sadly, we are subjected to delays again. The likelyhood of seeing any racing today is remote.

After the debacle of 2011 and the subsequent arrival of Gary Thompson in 2012, there's been no wet racing. I concur with Gary wholeheartedly, I do not believe that TT should be run in the rain or for that matter when conditions are not consistent. That, however, creates the delays we are experiencing.

Last year, the weather was exceptional, as it is this year but diametrically opposed. There are few TT's without rain but will these conditions with the current diktat maintain TT's sustainability? I doubt it.

The Isle of Man is not the easiest place to get to whilst also being far from inexpensive when there, £45 to get into Bushys, what a nonsense. Many Marshals are visiting the Island and without them, racing will not happen, being sat at your post for 7-8 hours in wind and rain with nothing happening is far from amusing. I've been there. Many of these Marshals and visiting fans are not going to be prepared to spend, certainly in my case, a lot of money getting there for nothing. Fans, I believe, will stay away. The NW200 is a case in point, there are a lot fewer there now than in its hey-day.

Sadly, I believe TT's day's are numbered.
