In 2002 when the Argentinean economy went bankrupt - making the exchange rate plummet at a ratio of 1:5  (i.e. everything over here is five times more expensive than in Argentina). A pint of beer, therefore, is the equivalent of around £10 ! 

Despite the poor exchange rate making it increasingly difficult to manage to get to the TT, the ArgentineManTT team still persevere and work all year to come to the Isle of Man to race with the aid and support of family and friends to achieve it. “Even if we have to survive on bread and water we'll be there,” they say.  

A big thank you to some of those people who make it all possible.
