A free mobile phone app produced by the government to promote the TT has hit difficulties – because some people can’t download it on the Island.
The Android version of the Isle of Man TT app is now available on the Google Play store.
It promises live news, a video archive, course guide and even the ability to buy tickets and merchandise.
However, because of regional restrictions, Google doesn’t recognise the Isle of Man – and so local residents can’t download it to their phones.
Instead, many get the message: "This item cannot be installed in your device's country."
