TT classes oversubscribed as entries close

Entries have now closed for this year’s TT Races – with all four classes being significantly oversubscribed.

All of the leading road racing names have committed to the races as well as a number of up and coming teams.

Top riders John McGuiness, Michael Dunlop and Conor Cummins will line up in the solo class – being joined in June by solo newcomers from Australia, South Africa, Brazil and Romania.

Over 70 riders are expected to take part in the Lightweight TT and the sidecar class has seen the highest number of entries since 2007.

Head of TT and Motorsport Paul Phillips says despite the global economic downturn the entries are testament to the TT’s enduring appeal.
