A 30-minute delay has been announced for this afternoons Manx Grand Prix racing and qualifying session.

Organisers say the setback has been whilst a recovery truck has moved a car parked on the course at Kirk Michael, and as a result the Newcomers races will now get underway at 12.45pm.

Meanwhile, Senior and Junior MGP qualifying will now start at 3pm with the Lightweight and Ultralightweight classes to conclude the schedule at 3.35pm.

Roads around the TT course are now closed and are expected to re-open at 4.45pm.
