Douglas Council says it’s not received any complaints about car parking issues at the TT Grandstand after reducing the capacity of Noble’s Park.
It’s also confirmed no concerns have been raised about vehicles using side streets or the location of the disabled parking.
It follows concerns raised on social media following the council’s decision to offer motorcycle and permit only parking this year.
Visitors travelling to the area in vehicles have been asked to use public transport or park elsewhere.

The local authority says the arrangement could be ‘reviewed’ with the Department of Enterprise in a post-event debrief.
A spokesperson for the council said: “It was agreed with the Department for Enterprise that disabled parking, motorbike parking and parking for those working on site would continue and that spectator car parking would be sited elsewhere.
“There are very few, if any, worldwide sporting events where you can park exactly where the event is as people either park off site or are bused in.
“Naturally, we want to help though so the parking at St George’s was set up for car park spectators who are also encouraged to use take public transport.”
