Manx Grand Prix revised schedule after Friday postponements

There will be a revised three-race schedule at the Manx Grand Prix this Saturday, August 27.

That's after Friday's racing was postponed due to bad weather on the Isle of Man.

Deteriorating conditions around the Mountain Course led to the Clerk of the Course confirming that Friday afternoon's qualifying had been cancelled while the Lightweight Race had been postponed.

It is now planned to hold three races on Saturday.

The Dunlop Lightweight event will take place over two laps at 12.45pm, followed by the MGP Supporters’ Club Junior Manx Grand Prix (4 laps) at 2.45pm.

The Bremont Classic Senior Manx Grand Prix will then be run over three laps, starting at 5.15pm.

All racing will be dependent on weather conditions on the island.
