Organisers behind plans for a new motorsport festival say they are hopeful their planning application will get the go-ahead.

Motofest is due to take place on the Jurby airfield over the TT fortnight.

There are plans for a campsite, motorsport events, live music, bars and trade stands.

The land is owned by the Department of Infrastructure and as a result the application for a temporary change of use of the land will be determined by the Council of Ministers.

Tina Carter is one of the organisers – she says the location is perfect for the event:
