Monday 11th July was a Practice Day, Tuesday 12th July seen more practice sessions and followed by Race 2 (Race 1 was scheduled to run after Race 2, however was postponed due to rain). Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th July were both race days, which saw race and lap records fall and some truly epic racing between Davey Todd and Dean Harrison – where fractions of a second over a nine lap race was the difference between 1st and 2nd!

2022 Post TT Races Cancelled

June 11, 2022 by TomBoyNI

2022 Post TT Races Cancelled :

The Southern 100 Club have announced via a Facebook post that the 2022 Post TT Races have been cancelled.

This is really unfortunate news as the Post TT Races are a superb event and give many riders who may not have competed on the TT Mountain Course a chance to wind up their TT Festival with a multi start competitive day of road racing.

DAO Post TT Road Races 2022 :

It is with regret that Southern 100 Racing, organisers of the DAO Post TT Road Races have to announce that this year’s races due to be held on Saturday 11th June, have been cancelled.

With the Senior TT having been postponed from Friday 10th June to Saturday 11th June, commencing at 11.00am, many of the officials, marshals and other personnel involved with the DAO Post TT are also required for duty on the Mountain Course and may not be available later for the Billown Course.

Southern 100 Racing have looked at the possibility of running later in the day, unfortunately the road closing order makes it impractical and with no guarantee that we would have full medical or marshal cover, the only decision that could be taken is to cancel the event for 2022.

We are extremely disappointed that the DAO Post TT Road Races will not be run and apologise to all competitors, especially those who have made the journey to the Island for the races and to all the race fans who look forward to a day out at Billown to bring the TT Experience to a close.

Southern 100 Racing look forward to seeing you at Billown in July for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.

2022 Pre-TT Classic Races Schedule :

May 16, 2022 by TomBoyNI

2022 Pre-TT Classic Races Schedule :

The Blackford Pre-TT Classic Road Races will run from 27th May – 30th May 2022 with racing happening on 27th, 28th and 30th May 2022 at the Billown Circuit.

The Pre-TT Classic Road Races came into being in 1988 at the request of the then TT organisers, the then Auto Cycle Union, Classics having first appeared on the Billown course twelve months earlier at the popular Southern ‘100’ Road Races.’ The first TT Classic Races were held on the 31^st May1988, the meeting consisting of four races, 250cc/350c; 500cc; Unlimited and Sidecars and attracted 115 entries in all.

Honour of being the first race winner went to Graham Godward of Royston in Hertfordshire, riding a 350cc Aermacchi, whilst the 250cc category was dominated by ‘local’ classic man Mike Cain from Onchan on his 250cc Suzuki. Dave Pither, Seeley Matchless took the 500cc race from Richard Swallow on Syd Lawton’s Aermacchi with Alan Dugdale third. Riding a BSA Metisse, Stroud’s Robert Price finished first in the Unlimited race, whilst the controversial MV Agusta sidecar outfit of Mark Kay and Richard Battisson took the chequered flag in the final race of the day. The Classics had arrived at Billown!

Thirty plus years on, the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races is rated as one of the most popular and ‘must do’ events in the annual Classic calendar attracting well over 250 entries for its nine-race event.

The TT Races have announced today that live coverage will begin for the 2022 event.

Every session, every race and loads of past content will be available for what looks like an absolute bargain at £14.99 for the Video Pass.

GET SET FOR LIVE COVERAGE :

The TT returns in 2022 and, for the first time in its 115-year history, it does so while boasting full and uninterrupted live coverage, delivering all the action, reaction and insight from around the world-famous TT Course straight to your smart TV or device. That means a near-two weeks of bliss for all of you TT and motorcycling fans – wherever you are!

Live coverage is set to transform the way thousands of fans follow the TT – whether that be from home, the workplace, or even on the train. In fact, wherever you have a suitable device and an internet connection, you’ll be able to access the races via the TT+ Live Pass.

Speaking of access, the Live Pass will also gift viewers a more immersive and authentic view of the TT paddock. With live broadcast naturally conveying more of the emotion, tension and raw energy found at the TT, we’ll be revealing more of the highs and lows of TT racing – as well as what motivates this elite band of racers as they risk everything in the ultimate test of speed and endurance.

HOW TO GET YOUR TT+ LIVE PASS :

The TT+ Live Pass will be available for a one-off payment of £14.99 and this will gift you live coverage of not only every qualifying session and every race at TT 2022, but also all of the insight and analysis that goes with it.

With over 40 hours of TT on offer, the Live Pass represents tremendous value for money for fans both close to home and around the globe. In fact, with up to ten days of Mountain Course action in 2022 (six qualifying sessions and four race days) that’s as little as £1.50 a day!

The Live Pass will be available to buy on the TT’s own digital channel (TT+) which launches in spring. You’ll be able to subscribe to the platform in April, gaining instant access to the first phase of free content – up to 80 fabulous races from the TT archive – as well as the upcoming TT 2022 Preview Show, filmed live in the Isle of Man.

John McGuinness Returns to Honda for 2022 Roads Campaign

December 1, 2021 by TomBoyNI

Honda UK Motorcycles have just announced (maybe the worst kept secret) their line up for the 2022 Road Racing Season and John McGuinness is back in the saddle of a Fireblade.

The full Press Release is available here : https://www.honda.co.uk/engineroom/bikes/john-mcguinness-back-on-the-blade/

McPint will be partnered up with Northern Irishman Glenn Irwin who plans on making his TT Debut in 2022. Glen has shown some real talent on the roads already with some cracking results at the North West 200, including taking the big one on a Ducati, Covid has since limited him to the track, but It is safe to say he will have the best mentor currently on the roads, and with only three TT wins being the difference between McGuinness and Road Racing Royalty Joey Dunlop I think It is fairly safe to say this is a massive year for both McGuinness and Honda Racing.

Only yesterday did we get confirmation of the TT 2022 Schedule, but with two years racing having escaped the Island I’m sure there will be loads more breaking news this side of the new year!

TT 2022 Schedule Confirmed

November 30, 2021 by TomBoyNI

With Covid 19 still among us and a new variant already starting rumours on how 2022 may be affected the TT have come forth with some great news today and confirmed the schedule for the 2022 TT Races!

Coincidentally the 2022 Schedule is being announced a year to the day later than the cancellation of 2021 was announced.

The news has been posted on the Official TT Web Site and explains the changes, and why they are important, but mores that they are just a step for bigger changes die to take effect in 2023.

You can read the entire post and explanation on how and why the changes will work here.

SMALL CHANGES = BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Whilst the changes to the schedule next year are less significant than those planned for 2023, they still come after a lot of careful thought and feedback – as well as some valuable first-hand experience – as Clerk of the Course, Gary Thompson, was keen to explain:
