The Villa Marina's Royal Hall stage groaned under the weight of TT stars present and possibly future at last night's launch party.
Legends John McGuinness, Dave Molyneux and Ian Lougher were joined on stage by a whole host of exciting, top class newcomers.
These included Alessio Corradi, Sean Emmett and current World Sidecar Champion Tim Reeve, whose passenger Patrick Farrance already has experience of the Mountain Circuit.
TT and Motorsport Development Manager Paul Phillips feels that, given last night's announcements, the event is continuing to go from strength to strength:
Isle of Man faces renewed scrutiny ahead of Moneyval inspection
Mobile classroom proposed for UCM horticulture compound
Chance to learn more about career opportunities on Island
