The Manx Grand Prix is set to continue with a two-race schedule on the Mountain Course.

The second race day of the 2025 programme sees roads around the 37.7-mile (61km) circuit closed from 09:30 BST, reopening no later than 21:00.

The schedule rounds off this year's racing in the Manx Grand Prix (MGP) classes, and includes the opening race in the Classic TT programme.

Organisers brought the Lightweight Classic TT race forward from Wednesday due to the "unsettled weather" expected in the days ahead.

Schedule

10:00 - Classic TT Lightweight / Historic Senior Qualifying (1 Lap)

11:15 - Junior Manx Grand Prix Race (3 laps)

13:00 - Classic TT Formula 1 / Historic Junior Qualifying (1 Lap)

14:15 - Senior Manx Grand Prix Race (4 laps)

17:30 - Lightweight Classic TT Race (3 Laps)

Further racing in the Classic TT schedule takes place on Wednesday and Friday.

Saturday's opening race day saw the riders compete in the MGP Supertwin and Supersport races.

This year has seen the Classic TT brand reintroduced to the August racing festival on the island for the first time since 2019 in a bid to boost visitor numbers.

The event is set to run until Friday.
