The company appointed by the Manx Government to promote the TT Races actually knew "very little" about motorsport.
That's the claim from a former Manx Grand Prix competitor who says he was surprised when Vision Nine was offered the 10-year deal.
Edward Bowers told the Economic Policy Review Committee on Friday that there was a lack of due diligence throughout the whole process:
The committee is currently investigating the failed deal between the Department of Economic Development and Vision Nine.
Mr Bowers said his suspicions about the company's fit were also heightened when it agreed to what he called 'particularly onerous' targets:
