RE: New format, old problems

This week, since Sunday, we've not had a race day to schedule... Tuesday lost, Wednesday lost. Now Thursdays racing is three shortened races but i fear we'll fall foul of the weather again.
In my opinion, there's too much in a short source. The old format had much more wiggle room.....
Race Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.... With contingency days following.
We'll see races dropped from the schedule this week i suspect, which is far from ideal for teams that have invested heavily into entering and running twins and superstockers for two races instead of the standard one.
Maybe the TT is driven by media dictates and a quest for emptying pockets.
Every word that you have written is exactly as I think.
Why there are two Superstock races is beyond me, as 95% of the entry are using the same machine for both Superbike races.
We used to be happy to run just one 600 race, one production race, a 400 race, and two Superbike races (i.e. Formula one and Senior). The organisers are organising an event beyond their organisational ability.
