The Manx Government have cancelled this year’s Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix.
The races were due to run from Sunday 22nd August to Friday 3rd September.
Laurence Skelly, Minister for the Department for Enterprise, Isle of Man Government confirmed the decision today, saying: ‘Despite the undoubted progress that the Isle of Man and the UK are making in rolling out its vaccination programme, the central issue of the availability of sufficient marshals, medics and other race officials to run the event safely and effectively remains. Once again we are making an early, but regrettable, decision to provide clarity and certainty to race officials, fans and sponsors, as well as the teams and competitors.’
‘Our focus and resources will now be switched on to the successful return of racing on the Mountain Course for the 2022 TT Races, Classic TT Races and Manx Grand Prix and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our island when it is safe and practical for them to return.’
Peter Maddocks, Manx Motor Cycle Club Chairman, commented: ‘It is undoubtedly a huge disappointment for everyone associated with the races and we really feel for all the race fans and competitors, but the Department clearly had no real option but to cancel again this year after it had reviewed the situation and The Club supports that decision.’
