Full grids are guaranteed at the Blackford Financial Services Pre TT Classic Road Races with nearly 270 entries having been received for the prestigious Classic event which annually brings the Isle of Man TT Festival to life.

The nine race programme caters for single cylinder 250cc & 350cc machines, Lightweight 250cc, Junior 350cc, Senior 500cc, 850cc Classics, Classic Superbike's and Sidecars.

The Solo races remain the same as the successful format of the previous years, whilst the Sidecar competitors once again have two four-lap races, one on the Saturday afternoon with the second being run on the Monday afternoon for the Camathias Cup is one of six rounds being held in the Isle of Man, England, Belgium, France, Germany and Holland during 2016.

As in previous years a Solo Support Race has been included in Monday’s race programme to cater for the number of entries received.

Long time competitor, Aermacchi specialist Bill Swallow equalled the long standing record of 15 victories at this meeting in 2012 and joins Bob Heath at top of the list - Bill will be hoping to add another win to his tally this year and move to the top of the table.

Mike Hose, with 11 wins to his credit and Alan Oversby with 10 will also be hoping to add to their winning tallies as they close on the Yorkshire rival.

Veteran competitor Ted Fenwick returns with his faithful 250cc Ducati single aiming to make it to the top-step of the podium after a fine victory last year and adding to his three-in-a-row race wins in 2009, 2010 & 2011 carrying the number ‘88’ plate this year.

Other previous winners returning this year include Chris McGahan, Ewan Hamilton, Alan ‘Bud’ Jackson, Terry Kermode, Rich Hawkins, James Cowton and Paul Coward.

Jamie Coward returns on the race winning 750 Mistral Kawasaki which he rode to victory in last year’s 4-Hire Superbike Post Classic Race - the same machine taking Dean Harrison to the chequered flag in 2014.

The Blackford’s Pre TT Classic has attracted a total of 22 Newcomers in the races this year, including six Sidecar crews all of whom will enjoy ‘the Billown Experience’ for the first of hopefully many return visits in the future.

The ever popular Sidecar races have attracted 28 entries including last year’s double winner winner Eddy Wright with no less than six crews from Switzerland, Germany, France and The Netherlands taking part.

The 2016 event commences on Friday Evening 27th May with the first Practice session and continues on Saturday Afternoon 28th May with the final practice, followed by the first two races of the event, the 350cc and 250cc Singles race over six laps and the opening Sidecar race over four laps.

Bank Holiday Monday 28th May sees a full day of racing action, with the meeting concluding with the Prize Presentation and Concours d' Elegance in Castletown Square on Tuesday Afternoon between 2.00pm and 4.00pm.

Mistral Kawasaki Field Team of Three for Pre-TT Classic Races

Mistral Kawasaki have been at the front in the Superbike Post Classic Race since it was introduced to the Blackford Financial Services Pre-TT Classic Road Races in 2014, firstly with Dean Harrison in the saddle, followed by a one-two last year with Jamie Coward and Steve Mercer as the successful riders.

For the 2016 Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races, Mistral Kawasaki have entered a team of three riders, Jamie Coward, winner last year during which he established the first official 100mph lap of the Billown Course in the Pre-TT Classic, Jamie ultimately averaged the ton for the entire race with a penultimate lap of 102.033mph setting a new lap record; Steve Mercer who finished second, also managing to lap at over 100.00mph are joined by Manxman, Dan Kneen, who is no stranger to the 4.25-mile Billown Course, hoping to maintain their domination of this very popular class which has attracted an entry of 39 riders.

Ian Harrison of Mistral Kawasaki said; 

‘Mistral Racing are looking forward to competing at the Pre-TT again, with our three riders.

‘Having won the previous two years with Dean Harrison and Jamie Coward, a hat-trick would be nice, but we will face stiff competition with a bumper entry this year.


‘The machines and riders are well up to the challenge and should make for some exciting racing.’

William Dunlop Late Entry for Pre-TT Classic Road Races

William Dunlop is a last minute entry to the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races, which will be taking place on Friday, Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday 27th, 28th & 30th May.

William has accepted a ride on the Davies Motorsport 350cc Honda in the Manx Environmental Services Junior Classic Race, and will be up against fellow Davies Motorsport Honda mounted rider and previous winner of the race, Alan Oversby from Bolton-le-Sands.

Other previous winners of the Junior Classic, who will be looking for a share of the spoils are ‘veterans' Bill Swallow and Paul Coward who will also be renewing the ‘local’ Yorkshire rivalry!

2015 race winner, Mike Hose will also be hoping for a repeat performance on the Ripley Land Honda and add to his 13 victories already achieved on the Billown Course at the Classic Races.

Amongst other ‘classic’ specialists with the aim of taking the chequered flag first are Ewan Hamilton, Barry Davidson, Jamie Coward, Steve Elliott and James Cowton - all Honda mounted.

The eight-lap race will certainly be one full of expectations and on past experience not one for the feint-hearted!
