Weather Chaos Hits 2025 Isle of Man TT Event
The 2025 Isle of Man TT event has been hit with further weather-related delays, organisers have confirmed. According to a report by the BBC, racing was initially delayed by two hours due to inclement weather before a non-racing medical emergency in Kirk Michael and a road traffic collision at Ginger Hall pushed the schedule back further.
The BBC reports that organisers have ruled out the use of the evening’s contingency sessions due to further rain forecasted until 18:00. As a result, a solo practice session, which was set to take place following the Sidecar race, has also been scrapped. The 2025 event, which takes place around the 37.7-mile (61km) Mountain Course, has been plagued with weather delays since it began on 26 May.
The BBC understands that the postponed second Sidecar race will now take place as part of Friday’s schedule, but will be reduced to two laps. The news will come as a disappointment to fans and competitors alike, who were looking forward to a full programme of racing.
The Isle of Man TT is one of the most prestigious motorcycle racing events in the world, attracting competitors and spectators from around the globe. However, the event has been hit with unpredictable weather in recent years, with organisers often forced to make schedule changes as a result.
According to the BBC, the latest delays have left competitors and spectators facing a challenging schedule. "The weather has been a challenge for us all week," said a spokesperson for the event. "We are working hard to get as much racing in as possible, but the forecast is not looking good."
The BBC reports that the event’s organisers are working hard to minimise the impact of the delays, but it remains to be seen how the revised schedule will affect the overall outcome of the competition. As the event continues, BBC will provide updates on the latest developments.
In a statement, the event’s organisers confirmed that they are working closely with competitors and stakeholders to ensure that the event is completed safely and efficiently. The BBC will continue to provide comprehensive coverage of the 2025 Isle of Man TT event, including live updates, results, and reaction from competitors and spectators.
