After the MMCC had anticipated a renegotiation of the terms of the contract with the Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure to organise the 2008 TT races, they were surprised to discover that the contract was awarded to ACU Events Ltd, a subsidiary of the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU). It was also announced by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure that a second 600 cc Supersport Junior TT race would be an addition to the schedule for the 2008 Isle of Man TT races, and the return of the Ultra-Lightweight TT and Lightweight TT events to be held at the Post-TT Races on the Billown circuit in Castletown.
