The Manx Grand Prix is looking to break a record for early entries this year, already achieving a high newcomer uptake.
So far the Manx Motor Cycle Club has received 208 entries for the races, with entries set to close on Saturday 8th June.
The races will take place between 16th and the 29th August as part of the Festival of Motorcycling.
With only nine weeks to go 34 riders are already entered in the opening race of the event.
Club chairman Harvey Garton says it's looking positive:
