But head of motorsport confident on long-term financial viability of TT
The Department for Enterprise's head of motorsport remains confident over the long-term financial viability of the Isle of Man TT Races.
Paul Phillips believes strategic planning is helping them navigate ongoing costs around the event whilst acknowledging 'the cost of motorsport will always increase.'
When it comes to visitor demand, he says the numbers seen in 2023 were close to what was being seen before the Covid pandemic following an initial drop-off the year before.
Mr Phillips thinks they have the ability to attract more fans in 2024 and beyond within the bounds of the Island's infrastructure:
Dean Harrison surges to Superbike win
Michael Dunlop 'just searching for more wins' in 2026
Superbike race to kickstart TT 2026 race week
TT Race Day 1: No race action due to weather
Sam West withdraws from remainder of TT 2026
