I think its the gruesome consequences that people try to hide.( and always tried to)
The fact that the racing is a spectator sport and to a large extent publicly funded, I think people do have the right to know what happens. I also think whilst gruesome, the full details will hopefully also inform partners and children of the competitors.
If we are given the right to find out what goes on in just about every Gov department (FOI) we should equally have the complete picture of what happens in the Gov. run TT Races.
Racing deaths are a different kettle of fish to an RTC death as nobody is paying to see it or funding the equally sad crash.
Just my opinion, but I think shared by many others.
Public funds fund every accident dilli. Public funds pay for the emergency services to attend. The roads to be made and maintained. For the medical profession to get someone well again so they can have another accident.
Just saying
