Isle of Man TT Races & MGP

The Sports Consultancy has been appointed by the Department of Economic Development to conduct a feasibility study into the formation of an Isle of Man TT World Series. The London based organisation is expert in the commercial development of major sports events and the provision of consultancy to government clients working with major sports events ranging from the Olympic Games and Ryder Cup to Formula One.

The Isle of Man TT, widely regarded as the world's most famous motorcycle race, celebrated its centenary in 2007 and has enjoyed remarkable growth in the last 5 years in terms of both visitor numbers and increased revenues from commercial sponsors.

Based on this success and the increasing interest in the Isle of Man TT Races in international markets, as well as a growing number of leading international broadcasters who now feature the event, the Department has commissioned The Sports Consultancy to conduct a detailed feasibility study into the creation of a world series of affiliated TT Races events.

The Sports Consultancy won a competitive tender for the project that the agency will deliver with the support of partner agency Capita Symonds, who will work on the technical aspect of the study. The work will start in November 2011 and is to be completed by the end of March with an announcement on the study due at the 2012 TT Races.

Commenting on the win, Angus Buchanan co-founding Director of the agency said;
