Final day of Classic TT racing starts after delays

The opening Lightweight Classic TT was held on Monday

The final day of racing in the 2025 Classic TT got under way after a two-hour delay caused by the roads having to dry out following overnight rain.

Roads closed at 11:30 BST around the Isle of Man's 37.7-mile (61km) Mountain Course.

The day's schedule features three races and two parade laps, including Michael Dunlop marking 25 years since his late uncle Joey Dunlop secured his final TT wins.

Public roads around the course are due to reopen by 17:00, and organisers have confirmed the evening contingency session between 18:00 and 21:00 will not be used.

Weather disruption to the race programme has so far has seen all three of the remaining races reduced in length, and the Formula One race scrapped altogether.

However, racing did get under way on Wednesday evening with Michael Dunlop taking victory in the Lightweight Classic TT.

Friday's schedule

12:00 - Historic Senior Classic TT Race (2 laps)

13:25 - Classic Sidecar Parade Lap

14:00 - Historic Junior Classic TT Race (1 lap)

14:45 - Senior Classic TT Race (2 laps)

16:05 - Michael Dunlop: Joey Dunlop F1 Tribute Lap

This year has seen the reintroduction of the Classic TT brand to the August racing schedule in a bid to boost visitor numbers to the island.

The brand was used for classic races between 2013 and 2019, but the classes had reverted to being run under the Manx Grand Prix banner when road racing events returned following the coronavirus pandemic.

The reintroduced Classic TT has been run in parallel with the Manx Grand Prix, which sees racing on modern machines.

The Supertwin and Supersport races under that banner were completed on Saturday, with the Junior and Senior classes held on Monday.
