Isle of Man TT Races RIDERS ENCOURAGED TO TORQ Dan Kneen Charitable Fund partners with Rock2Recovery to create TORQ: a mental health and wellbeing support service for the TT paddock. It’s good to talk, we all say. Sadly though, we’re not always very good at following our own advice; especially when our mental health is suffering. One group looking to spark the conversation – at least among the hundreds of people who race, work or volunteer at the TT – is the Dan Kneen Charitable Fund. They have partnered with the mental health charity, Rock2Recovery, to create TORQ: a ground-breaking welfare service available to anyone affected by a serious racing incident on the TT Mountain Course. Filling a current void in rider health and welfare, TORQ will strive to create positive change when it is needed the most. This may include the provision of refocusing support for competitors coming to terms with serious injury or the mental health issues attributable to long periods of recovery; coaching for the friends and family of competitors who have suffered life-changing injuries; or assistance for those sadly coming to terms with the sudden loss of a loved one. The service forms part of the recently announced drive to further enhance medical standards at the TT and is fully endorsed by the event’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Gareth Davies, and Clerk of the Course, Gary Thompson MBE BEM, who not only identify with Rock2Recovery, but also recognise the specific expertise and specialist experience their staff will bring to the paddock.

Visit Isle of Man have launched their new marketing campaign "The Isle of Man, There's More to iTT" as part of the strategy to increase visitor numbers to the Isle of Man, both during the Isle of Man TT Races and afterwards - link to watch in the comments 🔗 Ensuring the sustainability and the future of the Isle of Man TT Races is a key pillar of the event's delivery and changing the schedule to increase racing and spread visitors across the entire event, to remove the middle weekend bottleneck has been part of that. This campaign highlights that visitors of the TT, whether they are motorbike fans, or their family that joins them, can attend the final weekend of the racing, watch The Senior TT and then enjoy a diverse holiday whilst still basking in the post-TT atmosphere. Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport, explains this: "The Senior TT is our FA Cup Final, our Grand National, our Wimbledon Final, and we were staging it on a Friday when most people are at work and can’t travel or watch TV. Most of the visitors have traditionally left the Island before the main race, which is bonkers and can’t be left unchallenged. "Success for this is a disruption to that traditional travel pattern we have seen over previous years. It’s not about bringing more people at any one time, but about growing the overall attendance over the event period, growing the bed nights and growing the economic benefit the Island derives from staging the event. "And in broadcast terms, it is about growing our audience and providing fans of the TT, both on event and around the world a better and more accessible event." #isleofman #sustainability #futureproofing #theresmoretoitt
