Stars at Castle Coombe Grand National

Headlining the festival will be 20-times TT winner John McGuinness who will ride the ex Mike Hailwood 296cc Honda Six. He'll be joined on track by Steve Parrish on the 500cc Honda Four, as ridden by John McGuinness in the Mike Hailwood tribute alongside Giacomo Agostini as last year's Classic TT, where the pair famously recreated the battle in the 1967 Senior TT.

Castle Combe Circuit's only motorcycle meeting of the year promises something really special. Run by the NG Road Racing Club, the packed race schedule features just about every solo class including the return of the British Historic Championship after a two year break. The classic theme is continued with the Classic and Specials Parade run in association with the TT Riders Association so expect some special bikes and riders in addition.

Practice, qualifying and racing will take place over both days with the final timetable still to be announced. A special Honda Parade will take place on the Sunday during the lunch break.
