Southern 100 Racing have confirmed that Moto3 racing
machines are to be included in both the Colas Post TT Road Races and the Isle
of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 International Road Races for 2019.
The 250cc Moto3 machines were previously included in the
125/400 races at the July meeting and it was proposed and approved that they be
included in the 250cc/650cc races not only at the Southern 100, but to include
them in the Post TT races as well.
Clerk of the Course, Peter Oates said: “The Moto3 racing
machines are a relatively new class that has attracted a small number of
entries to date and the club has decided to include them in the 250/650cc races
at both the Post TT and Southern 100 races, hoping the entries will continue to
grow.”
Regulations for both the Post TT and Southern 100
International Road Races, along with the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races
are currently being formulated, prior to ACU approval and will be available via
the club’s official website, www.southern100.com early in 2019.

are: Blackford Financial Services Pre-TT Classic Road Races, Friday, Saturday
and Monday, May 24, 25 and 27. The Colas Post TT Road Races, Saturday, June 8
and the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 International Road Races,
