Additional day of racing for MGP newcomers

Roads to close at 11.30am

An extra day of racing has been added to the Festival of Motorcycling, after delays yesterday.

Heavy fog on Monday morning meant the air med helicopter was unable to fly, resulting in the day's schedule being pushed back.

It left no time for the Manx Grand Prix newcomers' race to take place, resulting in it being moved to today instead.

As a result, roads are scheduled to close at 11.30 this morning ahead of the MGP newcomers race at 12.15pm.

This will be followed by two qualifying sessions, scheduled for 2.45pm and 3.30pm starts, ahead of roads opening again by 4.45pm
