Road racing has been in a precarious position for some years now,caught between those opposing road closures and lacking the big sponsors to stay afloat.
The pandemic has exacerbated the situation and the survival of the few remaining clubs is in doubt.

Re: The Future of Road Racing
There was talk of a Welsh TT event, but that went tits up before it started. At least I wouldn't have needed to get on a bloody boat. 
I've watched all the Irish races on TV but never been over. For me though, a sunny Saturday and all the big boys at the NW is as exciting as it gets.

There's also been discussion about an Isle of Wight event too.
