For the first time in its 91-year history the Manx Grand Prix will have a title sponsor.

From this year it will be known as the IMGold Manx Grand Prix after the local gold bullion depository signed a multi-year deal.

Manx Motorcycle Club chairman Harvey Garton has described it as a 'mega day' saying the news is beyond the MMC's dreams.

IMGold will receive a package of sponsorship benefits including high profile startline, trackside, podium and winners enclosure branding and advertising on the MGP programme and website.

Managing director Ed Pearce says it's the perfect opportunity to support a great event on the Island:
