Major Changes to Improve Event Safety

Although famous for being amongst the most dangerous races in the world, the TT will now take a new approach when it comes to risk. It was previously believed by many involved in the event that the dangers of road racing are an inherent part of the TT. This year however race organisers will be implementing the new Safety Management System to help mitigate the risks of racing the mountain course.

Many of the changes being implemented may not be visible to the average spectator, including alterations to the organisational structure of the event and the training marshals will receive, however there will be some that the fans may notice. These include the use of an electronic red flag system, similar to those used in F1 and MotoGP, and the reduction of race entries aimed at increasing overall standards and professionalism. The changes will also include a single-lap warm-up on race days to allow riders to gauge the conditions around the course.

The successful implementation of the changes associated with the new Safety Management System should remove any unnecessary risks facing competitors and in turn make the event more enjoyable and sustainable for years to come.

Sidecar Shake Up

Three wheel fans will be excited with the announcement that, similar to the Supertwin Class, there has been a change in the regulations allowing bigger engined outfits to be entered. Teams will now be able to enter machines using 900cc parallel twin-cylinder engines meaning we may see a variety of powerplants being used from a wider range of street bikes.

This change in engine size may see competitors taking advantage of increased torque and pulling power on their outfits. These advantages will however need to be balanced through reductions in overall horsepower.

Whatever competitors choose, there is sure to be some interesting engineering challenges ahead for the teams that will spice up this year’s sidecar races.
