We are pleased to bring you these ‘Supplementary Regulations’, which are intended to be a comprehensive information manual for everyone taking part in our event. As in previous years there are some notable changes, particularly with regard to this year’s Event Schedule for you to make yourselves aware of ahead of the 2020 event. I would encourage you all to read this document carefully to make sure your time both in preparing for and during the TT will be as trouble free as possible and that you are fully to speed with everything required to be a competitor at the TT Races. We will update this document electronically several times between now and the event. So look out for the latest updates which we will send to you via email, and make sure you are always working from the latest version which will be available for download from www.iomttraces.com. As usual, our hard-working event team is on hand to help you right from the initial entry process, all the way up to and during the event. We want you to enjoy your TT experience and we will do our utmost to help answer all questions, no matter how trivial they may seem at the time. That just leaves me to wish you the best of luck for your 2020 racing season and if I don’t see you before then I look forward to seeing everyone on the Isle of Man in May for the first qualifying session on Sunday 31st May.
