Very Bad News

In some very sad news, revealled over the past couple of weeks, first as speculation then as official news from the 2300 club, the Tour of Mull 2010 has been cancelled.

You can read the reasons at the 2300 club site - in summary it seems to be problems with a minority of what seem to be either protestors or people who just don't feel the need to co-operate with the event alongside some complaints about the organisation.

Whilst I can't say that I understand or have any visibility of these issues, what I can say is that this is a huge loss to UK motorsport. An icon event seems to have been lost to enthusiasts, competitors and the island itsself. There are rumours of another organising team stepping up to take over the event, but that seems to be unlikely this late in the year. I hope they can, but it would be great to see the original team and all the organisational issues resolved to see the event back on the calendar for 2011.
