Over the course of the next three days, an area of grass and concrete at the back of the Grandstand will be transformed into the race paddock for T.T. 2014.
Many of the teams and competitors will be arriving on sailings to set-up their bases for the next two weeks.
However, thunderstorms and heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday has made the ground very wet and soft - not ideal for moving large articulated vehicles into position.
T.T. and Motorsport Development Manager Paul Phillips is appealing to arrivals to show a little patience:-
