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:

Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
