Motorcycle racing returns to TT

THE sport of motorcycle racing will be returning to Trinidad and Tobago very soon.

According to Anthony Belle, “as motorcycle racing is a new and exciting sporting opportunity, I propose to start off by showing the people of Trinidad and Tobago how they can become part of this adventure.” Belle is a Trinidadian residing in England who has been involved with the sport in Britain for the past five years. Stressing that he wants to introduce the event locally “to capture the imagination of the youth of the country” as well as a deterrent to crime, Belle has intentions of kick-starting his initiative in the Morvant district — specifically the Lady Young Road and the Lady Young Avenue.

Belle added that the circuit will be prepared under the sporting and technical regulations of the FIM and the FIA International Sporting Bodies, with events being contested for approximately 10 weeks from April until August. Belle plans to bring as much as 16 body guards, which will cover the body from neck to ankle, for local competitors. With this move viewed as one which will open the job and tourism markets, Belle intends to invite speedsters from the United States to participate on the local circuits. Belle can be contacted at his England’s residence at 44(0)-20-8480-2049 (home) or 44(0)-7951-156140 (mobile).
