Evening qualifying sessions at Manx Grand Prix canceled due to rain

The evening qualifying session for the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT scheduled for August 19 was canceled due to forecasted heavy rain. Organizers opted to keep the roads around the 37.7-mile Mountain Course open instead of closing them as originally planned. This decision followed previous disruptions caused by poor weather and red flag incidents during earlier sessions. A daytime contingency session is set for August 20, from 12:30 to 17:00 BST, leading into another evening qualifying session planned to run from 18:00 to 21:00. The event has faced significant challenges this year, including the cancellation of prior qualifying and serious incidents affecting rider safety.
