The passion and excitement for the TT Races is unparalleled, with Sportsnet selling out every package for 2018 from our exclusive platinum/VIP package, through to all escorted tours, as well as our race-break packages.”

The Isle of Man Government Minister for Tourism & Motorsport, Rob Callister said “We are pleased to welcome Sportsnet to our portfolio of Official Licensed operators.  They already have a great track record of promoting the TT to a wide Australian customer base and have grown the profile and interest in the event to the extent that there is now a significant Australian contingent who attend the TT every year.  We will now look to build on that interest with the Festival of Motorcycling as well as further growing the TT market with Sportsnet.”

“Sportsnet has enormous depth of experience when it comes to large scale sports events such as the Isle of Man TT. We developed our relationship with multiple TT winner and Sportsnet’s TT ambassador, Cameron Donald several years ago when we realised what our clients wanted was the kind of in-depth race experience only a current TT rider could help offer. This has allowed us to provide incredible events from tours of the circuit hosted by current and legend TT riders, fully-catered evening functions which include our famous TT Riders panel and hospitality days at one of the island’s great race vantage points, the Creg Ny Baa.” said Mr Cecconi.
