Keith Flint, frontman of multi-million album selling group The Prodigy, outlined his passion and commitment to the Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy at Tuesday night's launch night for this year's races at the Villa Marina on the Isle of Man.

Keith, who will be managing his own Team Traction Control race team featuring Kent rider Steve Mercer, has been a regular visitor to the TT in previous years. He answered questions from presenter Gethin Jones and co-hosts Steve Parrish and James Whitham as well as tweets from fans around the world who were following the broadcast on the live stream on the TT's YouTube channel.

Keith is now keen to step up his involvement, commenting:

"I've known Steve Mercer for a few years now and he's a great lad.  I am a fan who has built a team around passion, the best driving force for any motorsport.  It's something I'm really into. I think that the riders that do the TT are a special breed and these guys are true warriors."

He continued:

"What I do is effortless compared to the guys that line up on the grid. We are coming here humbly to do our best and I'm aware that my profile is in music not motorsport."

Keith has ensured that the Prodigy have kept the race period free of appearances to allow him to concentrate on his role as team boss for the TT, which he said was the first time in 23 years that he had made such a request.
