Manx or Classic
I'm going to the TT again this year and I'm thinking of going to the Manx or Classic in August. Amy ideas anybody what is the best to book? Thanks 👍

RE: Manx or Classic
Manx is easy to book, nowhere near the furore of the TT.

I've always taken a bike across to the TT but this year, I'm not. I've had enough of the traffic, the continuous mountain closures when I'm trying to get a lap in etc etc. I'm having a few days on foot and looking forward to the ease of it.

The manx on the other hand, I go for nearly a fortnight, I get laps in and lots of riding. The watching is better (much less crowded), the riding is better (much less traffic).

The manx has a much less frantic feel about it.

But, i still need a TT fix for a few days.... It's a bug I've had since 1986.

Out of the two events though, I prefer the manx.

RE: Manx or Classic
As a regular TT visitor since 1976, a MGP visitor since 1980 and a classic TT visitor since 2013 I love them all equally

The TT is the ultimate

The MGP is lovely

The Classic TT is sublime

You pay your money and take you choice - or in my case, I pay my money and do all three!

Each has it's pros and cons but each offers a great experience

Try them all

And remember, if you don't do it this year, you'll be another year older before you do

Good summary Nasher.
