Met Office provides “uncertain” update on Classic TT weather
The Met Office on the Isle of Man has provided an “uncertain” forecast for the 2025 Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix.
Road racing is set to resume on the 37.75-mile Mountain Course at the end of August with the Manx Grand Prix and the first Classic TT since 2019.
Inclement weather has been a challenge this year, with the cancellation of the Senior Isle of Man TT in June due to strong winds and poor weather affecting practice week at TT 2025.
Last year’s Manx Grand Prix was significantly impacted by the weather, with races shortened and the finale limited to a single lap due to visibility issues over the mountain section.
Track activities are scheduled to commence on Sunday, August 17, with the Manx Grand Prix sessions leading up to the races running until Friday, August 29.
The weather outlook for the beginning of the event appears positive, but uncertainty looms as the Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix progress, requiring continuous monitoring by the Met Office.
This year marks the first standalone Classic TT event since before the COVID pandemic, featuring notable riders such as Michael Dunlop, John McGuinness, Davey Todd, and Dean Harrison from the TT.
