By With more annoyingly constant inclement weather curtailing Thursday evening’s practice session, event organisers are now hoping to run a full day of practice tomorrow, with competition scheduled to begin from 1:00 PM with Superbike, Superstock, Supersport class competitors, plus event newcomers opening Friday’s timed practice action.
The full current schedule (weather permitting) for Friday’s competition on the Mountain Course, is as follows:

12:30 PM Rest of the TT course closes
1:00 PM Superbike/Superstock/Supersport/Newcomers practice
2:05 PM Supersport/Lightweight/Newcomers practice
3:00 PM Sidecars practice
4:30 PM Roads around Mountain Course open, except for Mountain Road section
6:00 PM Roads close
6:20 PM Superbike/Superstock/Supersport/Newcomers practice
7:55 PM Sidecars practice
8:40 PM TT Zero practice
9:30 PM Roads around Mountain Course open, except for Mountain Road section
10:30 PM All roads around TT course open

As aforementioned the schedule above is weather permitting, and the event organisers like Clerk of The Course Gary Thompson MBE BEM, teams, riders in particular like the Mountain Course debutants, plus racers like Peter Hickman who is a practice session down on his respected rivals, really need the weather lords help tomorrow, to gain much, much needed track time.
