ACU to review sidecar incident

Part of the TT course is to be closed off to spectators after an incident in Monday's sidecar race.

A racing machine came off the course at Ramsey Hairpin, crashing through barriers and a crowd of spectators.

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident, captured on camera by Luisa Savino-Sheeley of Ramsey.

Now, however, race organisers say they'll close off that part of the bend.

ACU Events says the area immediately adjacent to the hairpin on the left hand side will now be a restricted area to spectators for the rest of the TT Races meeting.

It says it'll put up the appropriate signs in the area to tell TT fans not to stand in it, and marshals will stop members of the public from watching the races there.

The organisation says it's currently holding a review into the incident.

In a statement, it adds it'll carry out a full review of this year's racing after the festival, including all prohibited and restricted areas around the course.
