Leading Isle of Man TT riders are heading to London to promote the event at the Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show, being held at the Excel Exhibition Centre.
The world’s fastest road racer Conor Cummins, 15-time TT winner John McGuinness, double 2010 TT race-winner Ian Hutchinson and fans’ favourite Guy Martin are all be at the show on Saturday, February 6.
They will be taking part in a chat show as well as teaming up in a quiz against a team of Motor Cycle News journalists. Fans will also get the chance to ask their own questions ahead of TT 2010 and pick up signed memorabilia.
Representatives from Regency Travel, the official TT travel agency, will also be on hand to advise visitors on TT trips and packages. Regency Travel is offering a one-stop shop for all TT visitors including travel, accommodation, excursions, transfers, car rental, ground support and 24-hour emergency assistance. They are also able to arrange group travel and grandstand and VIP hospitality tickets. The company will also be promoting a special London-to-Isle of Man TT package.
Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle said:
"London is a key market for the TT and this show is part of our strategy for promoting the event. We have excellent travel links to the capital with daily flights from London City, London Gatwick and also flights from London Luton airports."
"This not only makes it easy for fans to travel but means that the area offers a real opportunity for us to encourage people who have not yet been to the Island to make 2010 the year of their first visit."
