Made at the Manx Grand Prix parade lap announced

THE Manx Grand Prix will host a new feature this year, as the Made at the Manx Grand Prix parade lap will take place, to honour the riders who have raced at the prestigious event.

First raced in 1923, the Manx will have seen a century of racing by the end of this year’s event, having played host to some of the biggest names in the world of two-wheeled motorsport. Big names will be taking part in the parade, with modern-day heroes such as Michael Dunlop, and Ian Hutchison donning their leathers for the event, alongside more historic names like Carl Fogarty, Phil Read and Geoff Duke all represented in the parade. It will either be the riders themselves taking part in the lap or other riders who will be parading the machines that were raced in the period. 

The riders being represented in the Made at the Manx Grand Prix parade have collectively gone on to win 27 World Championships and 131 TT Races, and the parade covers the 1930s right up to the modern day.

Fans around the Mountain Course can witness the spectacle of the ‘Made at the Manx Grand Prix’ lap when it takes place at 3 pm on Saturday 26th August after the Bremont Classic Senior MGP Race.

The full list of bikes being ridden in the parade (and who will be riding them) is not known at present, but we’ll update this page as that happens.
