Roads around the Mountain Circuit will close an hour earlier than usual at five o'clock this evening for the opening practice session of this year's Manx Grand Prix.
This is to accommodate the large number of newcomers who will be first out at 5.20pm on a speed controlled lap.
One of them is 34 year old Mick Jordan from Dublin.
He's looking forward to his first outing around the famous Mountain Course and is fully aware of the big challenge ahead of him.
