Classic TT: Nathan Harrison fronts star-studded Formula One class

Dunlop and Hickman also among strong field for this year's meeting

Manxman, Nathan Harrison will lead out what is set to be a star-studded Formula One class at the 2026 Classic TT later this month.

A host of major names in racing on the Snaefell Mountain Course are included in the top-20 seeded riders for the category which have now been confirmed.

Following Harrison on the No.1 plate is expected to be Mike Browne at No.2 whilst David Johnson completes the first trio on the road at No.3.

Elsewhere, 36-time TT winner Michael Dunlop MBE is due to set off at No.6 whilst Peter Hickman - making his first Classic TT appearance since 2015 - is due away at No.10 on the WizNorton Racing rotary Norton machine.

Along with Harrison, there's also plenty of representation from Isle of Man riders in the seeded rider list including Conor Cummins at No.11; Michael Evans at No.14 and Joe Yeardsley at No.19.

The Formula One class is scheduled to have two races at this year's meeting - the first, the Formula One Classic TT race over three laps is penned in for Wednesday, 26 August before the four-lap Senior Classic TT on Friday, 28 August.

The 2026 Classic TT will run alongside this year's Manx Grand Prix between Sunday, 16 August and Friday, 28 August.
