Although the Isle of Man TT organisers have today announced no changes to next year’s race schedule, an expanded programme is set to be implemented in 2023.
The biggest changes in recent memory will see more race days, more races and more opportunities to see that racing. The races will be spread over two weekends with the Supersport and Sidecar classes kickstarting proceedings on the middle Saturday.
The Superbike race will be moved to the middle Sunday of the fortnight. There’s also change at the end of race week with the Senior moved from its usual Friday slot to the Saturday where it will close the meeting.
Designed following feedback from thousands of TT fans, the 2023 schedule sees the number of race days increase from four to six and the total number of races increase from eight to ten with the introduction of a second race for the Superstock and Supertwin classes.
That will mean each class will have two races – two Superbike, two Supersport, two Superstock, two Sidecar and two Supertwin.
Its introduction will coincide with the arrival of a brand-new, additional vessel for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, increasing travel capacity to-and-from the Island and allowing for more fans to visit the fabled races.
