Road racing returns to southern Isle of Man this weekend with the Pre-TT Classic
Petrol heads and motorsport fans, mark your calendars! Road racing is coming back to the Isle of Man this weekend with the eagerly anticipated Pre-TT Classic meet. If you're planning to explore the south of the Island or catch some thrilling on-track action, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming closures and what to expect.
The first island road racing event of the year kicks off Friday, May 22 around the Billown Circuit in the south. Roads will be closed from 6pm until 9pm, so if you're travelling in the area, plan your journey accordingly. Whether you're a racing enthusiast or simply curious about the Island's world-famous motorsport culture, this is a fantastic opportunity to witness some competitive action up close.
The action continues through the weekend, giving visitors multiple chances to experience the excitement of the Pre-TT Classic. Sunday features the longest road closure window, running from 1pm to 6pm, so plan your afternoon activities accordingly if you're staying in the southern parishes.
If you're visiting the Isle of Man during this period, consider using the road closures as an opportunity to explore other attractions in the south, or position yourself along the circuit to catch the racing. The Pre-TT Classic is a brilliant warm-up event ahead of the world-famous TT races in June, and it's a chance to see genuine racing talent in action without the massive crowds of the main event. Remember to check local travel updates and allow extra time for your journey if you're heading through the south this weekend.
