Three Lap Junior, Lightweight Races Amongst Various Schedule Changes For 2020 Classic TT

Reduced in distance Junior, Lightweight races are amongst various subtle changes to the practice/race schedule for next year’s Classic TT Races.

The 350cc, 250cc machinery based Junior, Lightweight class encounters will now both take place over a three lap distance whilst the Senior, yesteryear Superbike races remain over a four lap distance.

In contrast to recent Classic TT’s, the Lightweight race, won last August by Milenco by Padgetts Bruce Anstey, are scheduled to open race week action on the 29th August, followed by the in recent times Paton dominated Senior 500 competition.
