Good news for the event and lots of local businesses That depends on why they're struggling. Everything already booked up - good Not much available (or overpriced) - bad Edited June 12, 2023 by kevster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambon Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Great TT. Great racing. However, some of the driving has been horrendous. I am sad to say that this year most of the bad driving I have seen has been locals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, so if there’s any government support for events anyone dies in it should be banned & inquests about rider deaths publicized but if no support it’s ok ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not funded by (although possibly supported by) but the end2end was certainly promoted as a reason for people to visit the island by government and has also seen a very unfortunate death.

That was an old fella (60s) that had a fairly minor crash and had a heart attack if I recall. It's stopped now though. Participation dropped right off for a variety of reasons. I did it a few times with 1000+ people. Edited June 16, 2023 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
