Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT: Practice, race schedule and road closing times for two-week festival on Isle of Man
The Classic TT is back as a standalone event for the first time in six years and has attracted a host of the TT’s top names, including record 33-time winner Michael Dunlop, John McGuinness, Davey Todd, Dean Harrison and many more.
The Classic TT race programme will be held over two days on August 27 and 29, featuring Classic Superbike machines, two-stroke Grand Prix racers, and historic bikes from the 1960s and 1970s.
Along with the Formula One Classic TT, the Senior Classic TT finale on Friday, August 29 will be a big highlight of race week, when the fastest 60 riders will line up on a mix of 750cc Formula One machines and 250cc two-strokes, harking back to the late 1990s and early 2000s when the Senior TT featured a glorious mix of 250s, 600s, 750s and 1000cc machinery.
There will also be a series of events to mark 25 years since Joey Dunlop famously won the Formula One race at the TT in 2000, including a parade lap by his nephew, Michael, on a replica of the Honda SP1 ridden to victory by the legendary Ballymoney man, who sadly lost his life in a racing accident in Estonia a few weeks afterwards.
