The race programmes for both the Pre-TT Classic and Post TT Road Races meetings have been announced by organiser the Southern 100 Club.
As always, both will be held around the 4.25-mile Billown course in the south of the Island.
The Pre-TT Classic will feature 250cc and 350cc Singles, Lightweight, Junior, Senior, Unlimited Classic and Post Classic solo machines, as well as spectacular sidecar racing.
The three days of racing run on Friday May 28, Saturday May 29 and Monday May 31, culminating with the popular Open Air Concours d’Elegance of Racing Machines and a Prize Presentation in Castletown Square.
The Post-TT Road Races will be held on Saturday June 12, consisting of three eight-lap races. The first will feature 125cc and 400cc machines running concurrently as a two class race, the second is for 250cc and 650cc machines and the third will feature 600cc bikes.
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is offering a special travel package – the TT Taster – which will allow fans to experience the entire Pre-TT Classic as well as watching TT Practice Week action on the Mountain Course.
The packages to the Island start from as little as £99 for a motorcycle and rider ferry return from Liverpool, Heysham, Dublin or Belfast. Accommodation packages are also available, starting from £159 for ferry travel and 3 nights bed and breakfast.
Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle said:
“The Steam Packet Company have come up with a great affordable offer that will give people the chance to experience the thrill of seeing road racing on two different courses on the Isle of Man.”
“I hope that many people take up the chance to experience the racing as well as the many other aspects that the Island has to offer visitors.”
