New MGP race and qualifying programme announced

Thursday, Friday and Sunday contingency slots to be used

A revised practice and race schedule has been announced for the next five days of the 2024 Manx Grand Prix.

The Clerk of the Course has confirmed contingency slots tomorrow afternoon (22 August), Friday evening (23 August) and Sunday afternoon (25 August) will be used following weather disruption.

Friday will now also only be used for qualifying 'to reduce any pressure on competitors' - the two races planned for that day of the Lightweight MGP and Classic Junior MGP have now been moved to Sunday.

The contingency sessions are also scheduled to run alongside the pre-planned slots on Thursday night; Friday afternoon; during the day on Saturday and during Bank Holiday Monday (26 August).

Qualifying over the last three days has been cancelled because of a period of 'unseasonably' poor conditions.
