ACU Events Ltd has been contracted to manage race organization. The aim is to ensure the long term success and securities of the TT, by bringing together the main bodies that have a role in the event. This new approach mirrors existing structures managing successful events such as the British Touring Car Championship and the British Superbike Championship, all of which are world class events which have a significant commercial element.

As part of the new organisation and following the Manx Motor Cycle Club's resignation on the 27th of September, the DTL has appointed ACU Events Ltd as race organiser. They will work with experienced officials from across the Island's motorcycling clubs to assemble a team to organise and co-ordinate the race organisation.

That role includes all competitive elements of the Isle of Man TT Races including working with the TT Marshals Association to provide marshalling cover on the TT Course, the provision of medical cover and managing the appointed circuit set up contractor, and working alongside all other established supporting organisations involved.

Minister for Tourism and Leisure, the Hon Adrian Earnshaw MHK, commented: “The TT is a world class motorsport event with a global identity. Every year the Department reviews all elements of the races as part of an ongoing programme to ensure the long term future, success and professionalism of the event. The new organisational structure is based in part on the proven structures managing events like the British Touring Car Championship and British Superbike Championship.

"I am particularly pleased that this new approach will allow the Island's most highly skilled volunteers to work alongside experienced UK officials, so that the races will combine improved professionalism with local experience,” he concluded.
