MGP 2023 Dates confirmed

The dates for next year's Manx Grand Prix have now been confirmed.

Continuing to be centered around the August Bank Holiday, next year’s MGP will start on Sunday, August 20 and finish on Monday, August 28.
 
As the event marks its centenary, it will feature an additional program of special events, paying tribute its long-established history.

Full details, alongside the full race schedule will be released shortly, however - according to officials - fans can expect it to follow a similar format to this year's MGP.

Qualifying sessions will begin on Sunday, August 20 with racing to begin on the Friday (25th August).

The event will peak on Monday, August 28 with a contingency session the following day in the event of any postponements or delays to the race schedule.
 
John McBride, Chairman, Manx Motorcycle Club:

“It was truly wonderful to see so many fans back on the Isle of Man as the Manx Grand Prix finally returned after three years away. There was an overwhelmingly positive response from marshals, officials, riders and teams to the new-look five race programme which attracted a strong quality of entry that saw some great racing out on the TT Mountain Course, and was delivered with significantly reduced time pressures.”
 
“As promoter of the event, the Manx Motorcycle Club works closely alongside the Race Organisers, ACU Events, the TT Marshals Association and Manx Road Racing Medical Services to create an event format that can be successfully delivered and enjoyed by all. The Manx Grand Prix is heavily reliant upon the commitment of volunteers and the new format for the Manx Grand Prix ensures all elements can be delivered with the full support of these critical organisations. Due to visitor travel patterns and work commitments for many local residents, racing can no longer take place across a full two-week period due to shortages across the whole spectrum of volunteers; race officials, medics and marshals.”

“As we now focus on the preparations for 2023, I look forward to seeing fans return to the Manx for our Centenary celebrations. It’s going to be an incredibly special year as we celebrate an event that is so well-established in the Island’s road racing heritage.”
