Other than the RAC (the Roger Albert Clark, of course), I have little faith in any of it going forward. The rudderless ship of UK rallying looks to have finally been put out of its misery and sunk by the waves of Covid...

Another blot on Mr Richards record? We'll see.

Must admit, I was quite surprised by that; I had seen comments that it may run later in the year, possibly replacing Manx GP/ Classic TT. They've been quite pro-active and made a very early decision. I wonder if they've jumped the gun a little too early?

I'm not so sure. The Manx National doesn't attract 10's of thousands of spectators like the TT. I think the chances of the Manx National going ahead will depend on the level of infection in the UK & Ireland and what tier of border control the IoM Government have set in April/May.
