Race Day 2 - Black Dub Grandstand

Breakfast at the hotel.

Coach transfer from your hotel to the Black Dub for Race Day 2.

Witness the bikes burst into view whilst travelling at over 150mph on their approach to Black Dub, only 4 minutes after leaving the start line. This stretch of road means the riders must downshift gears as they manoeuvre a tricky 100mph left hand turn in front of your viewing area. With a steep bank lining the course up ahead, riders are challenged by a changing landscape and relying entirely on their circuit knowledge as they work their way through this technical section of the circuit.

Live footage will be broadcast on the big screen, and you will be able to purchase food and beverages on site as you enjoy one of the best grandstand set-ups on the course.

Or perhaps enjoy a visit Peel which is a popular seaside destination on the west coast located approximately 18kms from Douglas.

The former capital, Peel also boasts the House of Manannan, an interactive musem and exhibition that gives a comprehensive insight into the history of one of the people of the isle.

The Isle of Man may be synonymous with motorcycles; however, you may choose to experience another mode of transport today and take a ride on one of the famous heritage trams which have been running along the east and south coast of the island for over 100 years.
