The Lisburn racer’s potential participation alongside fellow prospective newcomers such as Jamie Cringle, James McLaren, IRRC Supersport front runner Christian Schmitz, only adds to the excitement for this year’s Manx Grand Prix, which gets underway in just over 200 days time.

Outside of his Manx GP plans, Phillips 2020 race itinerary also includes potentially tackling the Cookstown 100 (24th-25th April) and sampling for the second time, the event which last year marked his first closed roads outing, the FonaCAB & Nicholl Oils North West 200 (12th-16th May).
