Numbers down on pre-pandemic races
An urgent appeal has gone out for people able to provide accommodation for visitors over the TT and Manx Grand Prix periods, to register with the government's Homestay Scheme.
Rob Callister MHK, the political member responsible for Motorsport within the Department of Enterprise, says there are currently 495 properties registered, compared with the pre-covid level of 950.
Mr Callister says Homestay is critical to the TT and he's anxious to boost numbers:
