TORQ will operate from TT to MGP

Organisers of Le Dans 24 say they're focussing more on its driver support as popular event is cancelled for 2026. 

The Dan Kneen Charitable Fund announced the endurance event was called off earlier this week

TORQ was launched by the charity to 'provide confidential, non-clinical welfare support' following the death of Dan Kneen in 2018. 

Leanne Harper is Dan's wife and trustee for the fund, she says they'll be busy with TT through to MGP:

The Le Dans 24 was due to be held on the first weekend of August on the Jurby Circuit, but the charity says those reasons, plus personal commitments, means delivering an event of its scale wouldn't be possible.

The 24 hour cycling event has been going for five years raising more than £23,000 in its time.
