Condensed schedule returning again for 2023
Organisers of the Manx Grand Prix believe the condensed format is benefitting competitors and visitors.
A shorter nine-day schedule will once again be run for 2023 - after first being introduced last year - with officials previously stating it is helping secure the long-term future of the event.
But the changes have sparked criticism from fans with some concerns it could impact attendance.
