It is almost time for the 2023 Isle of Man Southern 100 Road Races, the friendly races that attract some of the best riders in the world.

The Southern 100 takes place on the 4.25-mile Billown circuit, a challenging and fast course that runs through the scenic countryside of the south of the Isle of Man.

The 2023 event will be run through the 10th to 13th July, and will feature 12 races over various classes, including solo and sidecar races.

There will be some close and exciting battles, and if the 2023 Isle of Man TT Races are any sort of precedent then some record-breaking performances are totally expected.

The current lap record holders are Dean Harrison (solo) with a time of 2m10.835s and an average speed of 116.941 mph, and Ryan Crowe / Callum Crowe (sidecar) with a time of 2m29.417s and an average speed of 102.308 mph. Both records were set in 2022.

The Southern 100 has a rich history dating back to 1955, and has seen many legends of the sport grace its podium, such as Joey Dunlop, Ian Lougher, Michael Dunlop, Dean Harrison and many more.

This is a spectacular event so if you aren’t on the Island make sure you have the Manx Radio App downloaded as the commentary provided is truly excellent.
