2009 Manx Classic Cancelled

The Manx Motor Racing Club has announced they have cancelled the Manx Classic hill climb event.

Due to take place on from the 16-18 April on the Isle of Man, the event had to be cancelled due to a number of factors, including additional requirements to run the event and to provide enough notice about travel arrangements. The MMRC decided to cancel this years in order to fully focus on making it happen in 2010.

Lets hope everything goes well for them this year and they can come back, with a great event in 2010.
