Festival of Motorcycling practice session cancelled

First practice now Monday evening

Tonight's practice session for racing in the Festival of Motorcycling has been cancelled due to the weather.

The first qualifying sessions for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT were due to have got away at 5.20, but Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson called off the session at 2.15pm after taking advice from the Met Office.

However, he's optimistic that conditions will be better next week

Gary has thanked Marshals who committed to officiating for the session following the appeal for registrations earlier in the week. Monday’s session will now begin with a speed-controlled lap for Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix newcomers at 6.20pm
