I am booked to go - mainly because it has been carried over for two years. Not sure by the organisers fuck up the whole programme and dates. I would have thought the IOM needed the money

Going Liverpool to IOM 19th August and return to Liverpool 29th August so taking in the full 9 days racing is 144 quid on a fixed special offer now with lack of cancellation terms, 295 quid on their standard fare you can alter if i read it correctly on a quick look at the Steam Packet site

I think the Heysham departure and return is the same price

Didn't it always used to be the Manx GP? I thought it'd only been the Classic TT for a few years (ok, maybe 10 ish?)

It's been split, manx and classic, sharing same festival iykwim.
Think the classic race's run first, followed by the modern stuff later in the week, summot like that.

I know I haven't been for a while (well, before the name change!) but I thought that was always the case. Manx GP = modern but not up to TT speed and Classics, all mixed through the week?

We'd booked to be there for the 2nd week 🙄 might end up taking my pushbike if we can't change ferry bookings
