Could 2027 Be the Year You Take on the Mountain Course?
12 September 2026 · 21:35  Manx Motor Cycle Club

The Manx Motor Cycle Club is inviting prospective newcomers to register their interest in competing at the 2027 Manx Grand Prix.
For riders who have ambitions of racing on the world famous 37.73 mile Mountain Course, the Manx Grand Prix provides the opportunity to take that next step and begin the journey towards competing on one of the most challenging and iconic road racing circuits in the world.
Each year, the Manx Grand Prix welcomes newcomers from across the UK, Ireland and further afield, expressions of interest from overseas competitors are very welcome.
Preparing to race on the Mountain Course is a process that begins well before a rider arrives on the Isle of Man for their first qualifying session. Prospective newcomers are supported through the process, with guidance designed to help them understand the unique demands of the course and the preparation required to compete at the Manx Grand Prix.
The Manx Motor Cycle Club is now beginning that process for 2027 and would like to hear from experienced competitors who are seriously considering making their Manx Grand Prix debut next year.
Prospective newcomers will need to meet the required qualification criteria and should be able to demonstrate good results and experience gained in a high standard of competitive motorcycle racing. Riders considering submitting an expression of interest should therefore have an established racing background and be competing regularly at an appropriate level.
At this stage, riders are simply being asked to submit an expression of interest. Further information regarding the newcomer process, qualification requirements and key dates will be provided as preparations for the 2027 event develop.
Whether you are competing in the UK, Ireland or further afield, if you have the racing experience, results and ambition to take on the Mountain Course, we would like to hear from you.
