Steve Plater backing plans for Diamond Races
Two-time TT winner Steve Plater is one of the people behind plans for a road race on the Isle of Wight in October 2021.
A 12.4 mile course has been identified in the south of the Island and the meeting will be known as the Diamond Races.
The planned event has support from the Isle of Wight Council.
Mr Plater says his involvement came about from a phone call from former Honda racing boss Neil Tuxworth:
TUC and Bus Vannin urge public not to be abusive to bus staff during strikes
Drivers 'deserve fairness, not vilification', says trade union group
Sea Terminal improvements to begin next month
Key arrival points to be 'enhanced'
Contingency timetable takes effect as bus drivers stage strike action
Ten day walkout gets underway
Manx Care 'has to' show improvements from £45m cash injection, says treasury minister
It's being funded in line with the Sir Jonathan Michael report for the first time from April
