Roads close on time for MGP

Newcomers race to precede qualifying

Roads around the Mountain Course have closed ahead of today's Manx Grand Prix programme.

A contingency schedule was brought into play by Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson, after fog caused delays yesterday.

The Manx Grand Prix Newcomers A and B race over four laps and C race over three laps has been put back by half an hour, meaning it's now due to start at 12.45pm.

It's so a vehicle can be moved in Kirk Michael.

The races will be followed by two sessions of qualifying - MGP Senior and Junior classes and MGP Lightweight and Ultra Lightweight - both over two laps.

Roads are set to open no later than 4.45pm.

Pennybridge TT Campsite posted a photo on its Facebook page of the vehicle, a red UK-registered car, being removed from the course:
