Midlands Masters - 2004 - Schedule
- Thread starter blakey
- Start date
TT week format is
week 1 (Practise Week)
Monday-Friday Practise Sessions
Saturday Formula 1 Race (400/600s as well) followed by big parties everywhere.
Mad Sunday (Open road loon day)
week 2 (Race Week)
Monday Wednesday and Friday - Racing (Friday is a Manx Bank Holiday, Senior Race Day)
Saturday - Everyone sods off.
The 2 biggest problems are cost and availability, TT week is THE most expensive time to get on and off the island, also it is chokka (hence they ramp up the costs) so I do not know if TT week would be do-able. If it was, even passing bikers stopping off for a few minutes to watch the games would probably see at least 4-5k spectators during the event at any one time.
As I said though, it isnt something I would even consider doing without the local Paintball player's support, so watch this space...

as christian has said the costs of hotels in tt week are very steep,camping would be the best bet .

If the hotels throw out on Saturday morning ferry x-ing on Sat to the island should be cheap as every one is going the opposite way.
( I hear the island almost stops for the week after to recover).
If you go across Sat morning play afternoon and all Sunday, bit of extra trade for a couple of hotels.

TT week - 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after - not really a good idea, as Bob's already said, i.e cost, availability of hotels, and getting on or off the Island is going to be very hard. We couldn't even get on the 6.30pm boat from Liverpool back here on Sunday because it was overbooked and that's with a Blue Ribbon card holder (season ticket type thing).
But don't worry we'll work on it !

Every night in TT week is party night
Where else in the world would you get 10,000 people outside a marquee watching drunken clown bikers doing donuts and burnouts while the coppers laugh with zero tolerance.
