May 28- June 10, Isle of Man TT
One of the highlights of the road-racing year is the Isle of Man TT. John McGuiness and Conor Cummins are on board again for the Honda team, riding the CBR1000RR Fireblade. The Morecombe Missile and the Ramsey Rocket are hoping for great things this year, and McGuiness is determined to hold onto his 2015 Senior TT title.
“Smashing the lap record was the best feeling, but I know that there’s some great competition out there who are looking to take that from me. I’m confident in the Fireblade, and also myself, I know I have a good package to get back out there next year and do it again,’ he says.
24 – 26 June Goodwood Festival of Speed
This year Goodwood celebrates the most powerful competition bikes and cars in the history of motor sport.
