THE MANX GRAND PRIX

THE MANX GRAND PRIX

NEXT WEEK’S RACES

THE organisers of the Manx Grand Prix are hopeful that the two races are going to be a big success. As will be seen from the following lists, both the Junior and Senior events are well supported, the number of entrants being forty-eight and fifty-two respectively.

The races will, as in the case of the Amateur T.T., be over the Manx T.T. course, the Junior Race being held on Tuesday, September 9th, and the Senior on Thursday, September 11th. Six laps of the course will constitute a race, instead of seven, as in the International T.T. races. Practising commences to-day and will take place between the hours of 5.30 and 7 each morning, during which period the roads making the course will be closed to any other traffic. To qualify, at least five laps have to be covered, and in the case of competitors in the Senior race, for 500 c.c. engines, one of these must have been completed within 50 minutes. Competitors for the Junior Race, for 350 c.c. engines, must cover a lap within 53 minutes. Riders who have ridden in Amateur T.T. Races, however, can qualify by completing three laps, one of which must, of course, be covered within the specified time.
