Entries for this year’s Manx Grand Prix have now closed and the total is very similar to last year.

Of the 653 total class entries, organisers the Manx Motor Cycle Club have been able to accept 580 from 368 individual competitors.

A total of 53 newcomers out of 65 entries have been accepted. Of these 34 are entered in Class A (750cc), 15 in Class C (125 and 400cc) and four in Class C (250cc). The latter will return as a separate class after being dropped last year due to insufficient entries.
