Gee Cee Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I have just been reading an article about the British Racing Drivers Club. They describe themselves as "the most exclusive club in motor racing". They also "own and operate the Silverstone Circuit". Now I have no problem whatsoever, with a bunch of enthusiasts who form a club, buy some land, and build a racing circuit. Good luck to them. It is their circuit, and they can do what they like with it. I do have a problem with half-witted politicians closing roads, causing immense inconvenience, almost certain deaths, and all in the name of the public who elected them. The TT course is owned by the public. If people wish to race motor bikes, then they should follow the example of the BRDC, and form a club to build their own circuit. They could then call themselves 'the most exclusive club in motor cycle racing'. The TT circuit is ours, to use whenever we wish. Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 At the next election you should vote for a candidate who states in their manifesto that they will work tirelessly to end the TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn’t be Rob Callister then who clearly supports the death toll for the £39M we alledgedly rake in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right. At about 3 deaths a year it’s only £13million per death that we Mrs Miggins et al get to line our pockets. So grateful for Mr Callister.

Well his posts the other day were very clear. £39M of alledged spending is totally worth the three deaths a year. It’s all about risk management apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bloody hope so, because I love those cheese sandwiches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
