Foz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Isle of Man TT Course Safety

An important aspect of safety on the course has become very neglected in recent years. The painting of kerbs seems to have almost vanished from the list of priorities of the otherwise very safety conscious organisers.

Faintly marked kerbs on very fast or tricky sections of the course are almost impossible for the rider to detect, particularly in fading evening light or when dappled leaf shadows camouflage them.

It is a simple solution and will prevent calamities. Put the pressure on now and make sure that they PAINT THE KERBS.

Please visit the thread here and show your support.

While the TT course is always going to be what it is, I certainly feel on some sections they can step it up on safety with better inflatable barriers and painting of kerbs or other hazards.
