Large number of TT entries already confirmed

There have been a large number of entries already confirmed for next year’s TT.

Race organisers haven’t confirmed exact figures but they say next June looks set for the biggest and best TT yet.

Qualifying starts on May 25th with sessions for the Lightweight machines followed by further session on the 27th and 31st.

The only significant change to the programme sees a third qualification lap added to the schedule for the TT Zero race.

Official race action gets under way on Saturday, June 1st with the Superbikes followed by the Sidecars later that afternoon.

Head of motorsport at the Department of Economic Development Trevor Hussey says he anticipated a significant growth in the Lightweight class and all the major teams from last summer are expected to return in 2013.
