Jurby Airfield 'vitally important' for motorsport

A new search is underway for an organisation to manage motorsport events at Jurby Airfield.

Officials are now inviting expressions of interest to take up the operations there, and say the site is 'vitally important as it provides racing and practice for nurturing home grown talent' and is the only permanent road racing facility on Island.

It follows an unsuccessful tender process recently, and in February it was announced the Department for Enterprise would take over the running of them until a new company is found.

Any interested parties can submit expression through the online government procurement portal before the deadline at Noon on Friday, March 27.
