The Classic TT returns next year, running from Wednesday 19th to Friday 28th August. After this year’s heartfelt tribute to Joey Dunlop’s famous 2000 treble, the spotlight will shift to another giant of the sport — John McGuinness MBE — as the ‘Morecambe Missile’ marks 30 years of racing on his beloved TT Mountain Course.

In 2026, fans will get the chance to relive history with a special parade lap, as John rides the very same bike, in the very same leathers, that carried him to the first-ever 130mph lap in 2007. An exclusive exhibition will also showcase the machines, memories, and milestones that have defined three decades of his incredible career.

Relive the moment. Celebrate the man. ✨
