Good lateral thinking Ian. However, at the end of the day, the essence of the TT is to provide racing on Public Roads using bikes close to what we can buy, so we cannot restrict the progress of road "improvements".
Anyway, I dont think that the modern bikes or today's riders would want to cope with the dirt roads of 1907.
I feel sure that the IOM govt. always considers the effect of any road improvements and changes to the road system will have on the TT and MGP.
As far as I can tell, going back and looking at old maps, the IOM has always been proud to have the "TT Course" prominently marked out.
Ian, your valued comments may draw out the safety issues again, not specifically part of the "Consultation".
I would still like to see better shielding of trees, posts and other solid structures that can cause nasty, sudden stops. Straw bales are not enough!
How about moving the dates back a bit for the future, as an attempt to enjoy better weather?
