On Wednesday, the races get underway with the popular Junior Race in the morning, followed by the first of the two Lightweight/Ultra-Lightweight

The Lightweight Race will feature the ever-popular 650cc twin machines, while the Ultra-Lightweight Race retains the 400 and 125cc machines alongside the more modern Moto 3 bikes

The closing day of the event Friday, sees the action start with the second Lightweight/Ultra-Lightweight Races, followed by the event finale, the Senior Race, in the afternoon.

Friday evening sees the very popular Presentation Evening in the Villa Marina.

Club chairman, Peter Maddocks, has stressed the importance to the Manx Motor Cycle Club, which organises the races, of keeping the smaller capacity machines in the programme because they provide an ideal starting point for new riders wanting to compete on the Mountain Course.

Prospective new riders for the Manx, should register their interest by emailing heather@mgp.co.im. as soon as possible.

The 2020 online entry system and race regulations will be available in the New Year, via http://www.manxgrandprix.org
