If you felt sad after the 2023 Isle of Man TT races ended and have been waiting to find out when the 2024 races would take place, wonder no more. The dates for the 2024 Isle of Man TT have now been officially announced. The organizers have also made an important improvement to make it easier for fans to travel to the event.

The two weeks of the 2024 Isle of Man TT will begin on Monday, May 27, 2024, which is a bank holiday. The first week will include free practice and qualifying sessions for all classes on the 37.73-mile mountain course.

The 2024 Senior TT race is currently scheduled for Saturday, June 8, 2024. The rest of the practice, qualifying, and racing schedule will be similar to the changes made in 2023. Both the Superstock and Supertwin classes will have two races throughout the event, just like in 2023. The entire race program will span 10 days, with two rest days for the racers to recover.

For those planning to attend the 2024 Isle of Man TT in person, organizers have also announced that the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has built a brand new vessel called the Manxman in 2023. This is the first new vessel commissioned by the company since 1998. The Manxman can accommodate 948 passengers, which is over 300 more than the previous largest ferry in the fleet, the Ben-my-Chree. It also offers 10 percent more lane space for vehicles, which is significant for both cars and bikes.

The Manxman ferry’s Heysham crossing time is the same as the Ben-my-Chree at three hours and 45 minutes. For a quicker option, the Manannan catamaran can cross from Liverpool in just two hours and 45 minutes and underwent a major refit in 2009.
