The Classic TT will return after a six-year absence following the conclusion of a revised Manx Grand Prix programme in 2025.

Having previously been held from 2013 to 2019, the event comes back to the agenda on the Isle of Man and will feature five races across two days on Wednesday, August 27 and Friday, August 29, with qualifying timetabled for Wednesday, August 20.

That follows up the Manx GP proper after it concludes on Monday, August 25, with no classic racing held as part of the main event which begins on Sunday, August 17 with six days of practice before a four-race programme over the weekend and ending with the blue-riband Senior Manx GP.

Billed as a celebration of racing heritage, the Classic TT schedule will start with the Formula 1 TT for 1990s Superbikes, with the Lightweight TT and Historic Junior TT rounding off the opening day’s action on Wednesday.

On the Friday, meanwhile, the Historic Senior TT kicks things off followed by the Senior Classic TT that rounds off the popular summertime event along the Mountain Course.

Head of Motorsport of the Isle of Man TT Races Paul Phillips commented: “The Classic TT captured the imagination of fans when it ran previously, and we are excited to bring it back as a celebration of some of the most iconic decades in TT history.

“The 80s and 90s in particular were a time of intense rivalries, iconic machines and record-breaking racing, and this event will be a place where fans can reconnect with those unforgettable moments.

“The Classic TT will not only honour the great riders of those eras but also provide a chance to see some of legendary machines roar back to life on the Mountain Course, piloted by the best riders of the modern day.”
