Classic TT Returns for 2025 :

The Isle of Man TT has announced that the Classic TT will return in 2025. The event last ran in 2019.

The Classic TT for vintage machinery from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s first took place in 2013 and ran through to 2019.

Since 2022 the classic events and machinery have been held and raced as part of the Manx Grand Prix. One of the biggest issues for fan, riders, teams and organisation is that the new version of the MGP had been held over fewer days than the two weeks allocated for the old joint format.

For 2025, the Classic TT will return in its own right and will again run alongside the Manx GP back over the two week format in August.

The Manx GP will start on Sunday 17 August 2025 and run to Monday 25 August 2025. The Classic TT will run between 20-29 August 2025.

Qualifying kicks off on Wednesday, 20th August 2025, with five action-packed races spread across Wednesday, 27th August, and Friday, 29th August. On the opening race day, you’ll enjoy the Formula 1 TT Race, the Lightweight TT Race, and the Historic Junior TT Race. Then, on Friday, the prestigious Historic Senior TT Race will set the stage for a thrilling finale, with the Senior Classic TT Race closing out the high-speed action on the Mountain Course.

But the excitement doesn’t stop on the track! Away from the course, you’ll enjoy a variety of nostalgic events and 2-wheeled attractions, making this an unforgettable week of entertainment for every fan.
