Victor Ortega Pérez
Journey to a Dream
Monday, 4 August 2025 - 24 minutes
In this episode, we’re joined by Victor Ortega Pérez from Pedreguer in Spain, one of the most dedicated international riders on the Manx Grand Prix scene.
Victor made his debut on the Mountain Course back in 2019, finishing ninth in the Newcomers A race and competing in the Junior MGP.
Since then, he’s returned in 2022, 2023 and will be on the start line again this year, steadily building pace and now lapping at over 110mph.
Victor represents a growing number of international competitors drawn to the unique challenge of the TT and Manx Grand Prix.
This year he'll be racing in the Lightweight class at the Classic TT, and in both the Senior and Supersport races at the MGP.
Back home, he’s a well-established racer with years of experience across multiple championships.
He finished second in the 2024 Spanish Classic Supersport Championship and is currently competing in the Spanish EVO series on a CBR with the Boulevard Racing Team.
Victor also makes regular appearances at UK circuits like Cadwell Park to secure the all-important signatures for his Mountain Course licence.
You can find Victor on Facebook here, and on Instagram here.
