First practice session halted following incident at Parliament Square during TT Festival 2026
The Isle of Man TT Festival 2026 has got off to an eventful start, with organisers red-flagging the opening practice session after a race incident at Parliament Square in Ramsey. The decision to halt proceedings was made in the interests of safety, and officials have promised a further update as the situation develops.
On Monday, 25 May 2026, race officials brought the first practice session to an abrupt end following the incident on the famous Mountain Course. Spectators and competitors will need to exercise patience as organisers assess the situation and make decisions about resuming activities.
Visitors to the Isle of Man are reminded that all roads around the Mountain Course continue to be closed as a precautionary measure. If you're planning to attend the festival or travel around the Island during TT fortnight, it's essential to check local travel updates and plan alternative routes accordingly.
Despite the practice session suspension, TT 2026 festivities are in full swing elsewhere on the Island. The TT funfair has arrived on Douglas Promenade, adding to the vibrant atmosphere that makes the festival such a unique visitor experience. This is a great opportunity for families and TT enthusiasts to enjoy the carnival atmosphere while the race course situation is being addressed.
