Record entry for Manx classic rally and hill climb

MMRC secretary Shely Bryan said she was "delighted with the quantity, quality and pedigree of the cars"

Eric Grundey from Onchan, racing a 1962 MG Midget said it was a "fantastic race to be part of"

The three-day event will see cars dating back to the 1921 racing in three separate stages across the Isle of Man

A record 114 vintage, classic and modern sports cars are taking part in the Manx Motor Racing Club's (MMRC) Manx Classic sprint and hill climb

The cars started in the TT pit lane, then travelled back along Glencrutchery Road, through Governor's Dip to the finish on the TT old road at the Nook

Last year nine course records were broken out of a possible 12 at the event organised by the Manx Motor Racing Club.

The event opened with the Governor's sprint, with more than 100 spectators watching from the TT grandstand

Saturday's final stage, the Lhergy Frissell hill climb, again uses part of the TT course, from Barrule Park to the 26th milestone.

This year the MMRC have received entries from all over the British Isles, the Isle of Man and Europe
