This year’s Classic TT presented by Bennetts, due to take place between Sunday 22 August and Monday 30 August, has been cancelled.
The Isle of Man Government says it has taken the decision to cancel the event due to the ongoing uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the availability of marshals, medics, race officials and other volunteers needed to run the event safely and effectively.
Cancelling the event for a second year is a huge disappointment for fans, competitors, race officials and volunteers, as well as the wider Manx community, as the many challenges of the pandemic continue to be felt.
Commenting on this sad news, TT business development manager Paul Phillips said: “As with the cancellation of the 2021 TT, it was important that an early decision was made to give clarity to the thousands of visitors and individuals that come together for the Classic TT. A two-year break from racing is not what anyone would have wanted, but our motorsport team have been hard at work to ensure that the TT and Classic TT return stronger than ever in 2022.”
