Isle of Wight Road Races : 20th – 23rd April 2022 :
Bringing international motorcycle road racing to the Isle of Wight :
With the Diamond Road Races having been reportedly scrapped it seems that the event has just taken a different, more toned down direction, and the plan does indeed seem to be to bring a road racing event to the Isle of Wight in 2022. Good luck to the organisers and we will post more news and developments as they come.

James Kaye has a vision to bring international motorcycle racing to closed public roads on the Isle of Wight.
Changes to UK law in 2008 made it possible for public highways to be closed to allow motor racing events to take place. Most people know that the Isle of Man has hosted the world-famous TT Races for more than 100 years. There’s no reason why this could not succeed on the Isle of Wight.
“We’ve built important relationships within the world of motorcycle racing and we are starting the process of building new relationships with the residents, business and organisations that will be affected by the event, commented James.
“I firmly believe that the benefits to the Island will far outweigh any temporary inconvenience. My organising team is determined to place the Isle of Wight on to the international motor sport map.”
