Let the twins back in, F2 was originally the Twin Cylinder class.
I don't mean Triumphs, Weslakes, Bsa's, Nortons etc. Let in Ducati's, Guzzi's, Honda's, Suzuki's, as long as they are Twin cylinder, they race successfully on the Continent.
As I've said numerous times over the years, to Steve's annoyance, the twins were banned because the ACU didn't want the excessive speed the 1000cc twins would achieve. That argument is totally irrelevant given the speeds the 600's achieve now a days, just look at the speeds the open class sidecars were achieving back then, 1300cc & long outfits. The modern 600's would wipe the floor with them, so speed cannot be an issue.
It seems that the ACU don't have much input into the TT now so this would be a good time for the TT organizers to open up the class to the twins,
imagine the sounds
