🎶 Closing Moments
The evening concluded with the playing of the Manx National Anthem. With all races completed and exceptional weather throughout, the 2025 Manx Grand Prix will be remembered as one of the most successful and emotionally resonant editions in recent history.
The Manx Motor Cycle Club extends its thanks to all who made this year’s event possible—from the ACU, Department for Enterprise, and Isle of Man TT Marshals Association, to the teams, families, and fans who filled the paddock, lined the hedges, and kept the island roaring. Without all of them, there is no Manx Grand Prix.
...
Engines fired from dawn to dusk. The distant hum of dyno machines echoed through pit garages. Parc fermé pulsed with heat, tension, and the noise of machines pushed to their limits. And on the start line, newcomers sat astride their bikes—visors down, eyes locked ahead—waiting for the tap on the shoulder that signals not another practice or qualifying lap, but their first true race start. In seconds, they’d launch down Glencrutchery Road and dive into Bray Hill—this time in race mode, alone on the bike, in the suit, but carrying with them the full support of their team, family, supporters and the MMCC.
It’s a moment the Manx Motor Cycle Club is proud to make possible—again and again.
We’ll see you in 2026.
The journey to the TT begins again.
END.
