Manx sidecar ace Nick Crowe is to receive official Honda UK Racing backing at the T.T. for the next two years.
Crowe has won three times around the Mountain Course - twice in 2006 and once in 2005. He has also recorded five second place finishes.
Although last year's Centenary T.T. was a disappointment with two non-finishes, he did claim the outright lap record with an average speed of 116.667m.p.h..
Crowe will have Mark Cox as his passenger for T.T. 2008.
