Minister downplays potential competition
New rules aimed at making it easier to stage motorsport events in England have come into force on Monday, but the Island's economic development minister doesn't see it as a threat to the TT's success.
Changes in the law have given local authorities the power to close public roads and permit racing to take place.
The British government has touted it as a real boost for tourism.
But Laurence Skelly says the Isle of Man's reputation for motorsport remains unique, and staging international race meets is still a formidable task:
Horse tram business case 'an investment in guaranteeing our heritage'
Part of Old Castletown Road closes for manhole cover work
MHK behind 20mph motion 'never intended' for there to be a blanket limit
BBC Channel Island stations to end medium wave transmissions
Financial regulator warns public about fraudulent website claiming Isle of Man links
