Comms failure means today's racing in question
Problems with a radio system used by marshals and the emergency services meant long delays delay to racing today.
A breakdown means MGP racing around the course has been delayed until at least 2pm after a vital piece of comms kit failed leaving marshals out of touch with the Grandstand.
Crossing points staying open for foreseeable future – roads are still closed around the circuit, and a further announcement about today’s schedule will be made at 1pm.
Today’s programme includes the four-lap 350 Classic TT, a Classic Racer TT lap of honour, the four-lap Formula 1 and 2 race and a Manx Grand Prix Qualifying session at 5.45pm.
Roads are expected to reopen no later than 9pm.
Earlier this year, Tynwald voted to spend £5 million updating the 12 year old Tetra system which is used by police, fire and ambulance services as well as marshals.
Race Director Gary Thomson explains what the problem is:
Missed opportunity in inmate's care, inquest finds
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Motorists urged to avoid Cooil Road following RTC
Probation for man caught with knife at Sea Terminal
Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
