Following the news of that all Northern Irish Road Racing events have been cancelled due to unsustainable insurance costs the Isle of Man has now also revealed that it too has been affected by an insurance cost rise.

Although not the circa 300% rise that Northern Ireland has faced this year the Insurance to cover this year’s Manx road racing events has risen by 18%.

Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston revealed the figure in Tynwald this week – confirming the 2023 policy will cost £930,000 – up from £790,000 last year.

He described rising costs as a ‘challenge’ for motorsport events but adds his department has a ‘clear strategy in place’ to grow and diversify the TT.

The cost covers the likes of the TT, pre-TT, MGP and Southern 100.

Irish events are also still in doubt as no cover has yet been obtained for any 2023 events.

2022 Manx GP : New Details Confirmed

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 by TomBoyNI

2022 Manx GP : New Details Confirmed :

NEW LOOK CONFIRMED FOR THE 2022 MGP:

The Manx Motor Cycle Club and Department for Enterprise have today confirmed plans for a ‘new look’ Manx Grand Prix in 2022. It follows a review undertaken by both organisations earlier this year, working closely with other stakeholders critical to the delivery of the event including the TT Marshals Association, Manx Road Racing Medical Services and ACU Events Ltd.

The review was designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Manx Grand Prix, which is set to celebrate its centenary in 2023. Factors considered as part of the review included: Analysis of the delivery costs and the benefits to the local economy, the impact road closures required to stage the event had on residents and businesses, safety risk management, the provision of sufficient marshalling cover for the full event duration, and fan, media and industry relevance, and the continuous need to attract new fans.

The new look for the event will bring to an end the use of the Classic TT designation, with a five-race programme planned featuring a range of classes for modern and classic machinery all held under the Manx Grand Prix title.

The Manx Grand Prix Races for modern machinery will be more closely aligned to the Isle of Man TT Races, with the Senior and Junior Races, for Supersport and Supertwin machines respectively, operating to similar (but not identical) specifications as seen at the TT, giving riders the opportunity to achieve their goals on the TT course.

With so many categories racing in the Manx GP and Classic TT events I have pulled this information from the ‘Regulations Supplement’ book for easy reference (and in case you were not aware.)

Now you will be able to easily identify a motorcycle, the class and the event it is racing in just by its racing number and the colour of its back plate.
