The Billown Course once again echoed with the roar of road racing machines this week, as the 2025 Southern 100 – ‘The Friendly Races’, delivered two days of pure thrills on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th July. After a frustrating start to the event, with Monday’s practice and Tuesday’s scheduled races heavily impacted by poor weather conditions, the resilient Manx spirit prevailed, and gave way to spectacular display of pure real road racing.

With the sun finally gracing the Billown Circuit, Wednesday 9th July became a packed schedule, compensating for lost track time.
The day kicked off with the Ellan Vannin Fuels Senior Race. Right from the start, it was clear that Davey Todd was on a mission. Riding his 8TEN Racing BMW, Todd made a statement, pulling a modest but decisive gap by Iron Gate on the opening lap.
While Dean Harrison, on his Honda Racing UK machine, briefly set the fastest lap on the second lap, Todd was in absolute command. He extended his lead lap by lap, culminating in a new race lap record of 2 minutes 11.433 seconds on lap four.
This blistering pace propelled him to an eventual winning margin of 4.564 seconds over Harrison.
A highly commendable performance also came from Nathan Harrison, who secured the final podium spot with a composed ride aboard his H&H Motorcycles Honda.
Next up was the JCK Limited 600cc B Race, which saw a fantastic battle unfold. Newcomer John Marsh (No. 54) impressed everyone by taking a third place on the podium. Paul Cranston (No. 93), who secured the win, building on his strong showing in qualifying. Dennis Booth (No. 26) completed the top three, in second position, adding to his consistent week.
The premier middleweight class, the H&H Motorcycles 600cc Race, proved to be a nail-biter. This race delivered multiple lead changes and some incredibly close-quarters racing. While results from this particular race were hard-fought and tight at the time of going to press, the sheer intensity was a highlight, showcasing the competitive depth in the Supersport category.
The day’s action concluded with the highly anticipated Ace Hire Sidecar Race. The dynamic duo of Ryan and Callum Crowe (No. 7 outfit) continued their impressive 2025 form, clinching a thrilling victory. They faced stiff competition from Pete Founds and Jevan Walmsley (No. 72 outfit), who, despite a major incident at the recent TT, showed incredible resilience on a borrowed machine to finish a strong second, just over six seconds adrift. Lee Crawford and Scott Hardie (No. 4 outfit) completed the podium, demonstrating their consistent pace.
The hallowed Billown Course has once again roared to life, as the 70th Anniversary Southern 100 kicked off its qualifying sessions on Monday, July 7th, and Tuesday, July 8th, 2025. Despite a challenging start with an unfortunate red flag incident on Monday and inclement weather halting Tuesday’s evening racing, the provisional grids are packed with talent, promising a week of exhilarating road racing.
Under mostly dry skies, the opening day of qualifying on Monday saw riders waste no time in setting blistering paces. Davey Todd, on his 8TEN Racing BMW, immediately stamped his authority, topping the Superbike/Superstock charts with a formidable 2:14.216 lap. Close on his heels was local hero Nathan Harrison (Honda) at 2:16.163, demonstrating his intimate knowledge of the Billown circuit. Road racing titan Michael Dunlop, on his MD Racing BMW, settled into third with a 2:17.072, a clear indication that he was just finding his rhythm and would be a force to be reckoned with. Dean Harrison and Michael Sweeney also showed strong form, rounding out the top five.
The Super Twin class saw Rob Hodson pick up where he left off last year, leading the pack with a 2:27.006 on his Paton. Davey Todd continued his impressive multi-class performance by securing second in the Super Twins, showcasing his versatility. Paul Jordan and Joe Yeardsley also put in strong performances, setting up what promises to be a fiercely contested Lightweight race.
The Supersport sessions were equally captivating. Davey Todd once again led the yellow-plated “A” race contenders, posting a 2:20.160, narrowly ahead of Paul Jordan and Nathan Harrison. The “white plate” Supersport session for newer riders or those without pre-qualification was topped by Nathan Harrison, showing his all-around speed, with David Rigby leading the white plate entries.
A somber note was struck on Monday evening when a red flag brought the Supersport session to an early close due to a one-rider incident at Stadium Bend involving Yann Galli. Thankfully, reports confirmed the rider was conscious and stable, later transferred to a UK hospital. This incident, coupled with the approaching darkness, led to the postponement of the second Superbike and Lightweight sessions to Tuesday.
The 2025 Southern 100 took place on 7th – 10th July 2025 on the Billown Circuit, Castletown, Isle of Man.
Racing was scheduled to commence on 8th July for two races but due to inclement weather only qualifying took place over the first two days of the event. Racing was subsequently ran over 9th and 10th July 2025.
