TT star Ryan Farquhar is calling for more tarmac to replace areas of grass in the paddock at the back of the Grandstand.
During Grand Prix fortnight, heavy rain has turned many of the parts where competitors are living and working into deep mud.
For a number of years, Farquhar has spurned the chance to be based with all the other top TT names nearest to the start line, in preference for some hard-standing.
He says the problems of the past two weeks must not be allowed to happen again:
Hopes DOI and striking bus drivers could meet
Unite the Union members are about to enter a third round of industrial action
Blocked gullies found to be cause of Castle Street flood
Problems 'not linked to the sewerage system'
'Only a very small number' needing support cashing benefits cheques
Minister confident those yet to cash cheques can access payments
Samantha Barks throws support behind wind turbine petition
'Many of us believe this would permanently change the character of our Island'
