The long-range weather forecast currently suggests that conditions will deteriorate significantly from Wednesday 26 August, with wet weather, heavy rainfall and wind highly likely to persist at least until the end of the planned event period on Friday 28 August.
A revised schedule has therefore been drawn up to make the best possible use of the currently forecast more favourable conditions between Saturday 22 August and Tuesday 25 August, thereby offering the best available chance of staging all the races of the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT.
The revised schedule includes races on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with the Historic Junior Race brought forward to Saturday. The Formula 1 race and the combined Lightweight and Ultra Lightweight race have been scheduled for Sunday. The Historic Senior Race and the Junior 600 race are set to take place on Monday.
The 2026 Classic TT is now set to conclude on Tuesday, with the Senior Classic TT followed by the ‘1996 Rewind Parade’, the Classic Sidecar Parade and the parade marking John McGuinness’s 30th anniversary.
