A celebration for the centenary of the T.T. races is to take place at Bike Show at the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday 1st December.

The dedicated day will include a T.T. chat show hosted by BBC commentator Steve Parish with John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, Guy Martin and Conor Cummins amongst the line-up of past and present star riders.

T.T. and Motorsport Manager Paul Phillips says "It's going to be another great day out for the fans to meet their T.T. heroes. We're delighted that the NEC Bike Show will be part of our Centenary celebrations.

After a massive influx of fans into the Island in May and June for the Centenary meeting, initial bookings for next year's T.T. are reported to be well up on a normal year. The dedicated T.T. day at the biggest bike show of the year will be a further boost to the event.
