Mountain Road to close for Festival of Motoring

But Grandstand to Ramsey motorcade cancelled following death of Queen

The Mountain Road will close this afternoon as part of the Festival of Motoring.

The visiting drivers will be driving on closed roads over the mountain, and as a result the route will shut from 12pm until no later than 4pm.

However, the previously planned motorcade from the Grandstand to Ramsey, which was due to take place this morning, has been cancelled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Organisers say this was to ensure the event didn't disrupt Manx residents attending church around the TT Course.
