The 2010 MGP Festival brings together four of the biggest two-wheel events in the Isle of Man’s sporting calendar: the Manx Grand Prix, which sees classic and modern racing machines competing around the 37.73-mile Mountain course used during the TT; the Two Day Trial; the Manx Classic Trial; the Vintage Motor Cycle Club’s Manx Rally.
Packing all that action into the festival, which runs from August 21 to September 5, ensures all visitors to the Island will be kept fully entertained.
The new website – www.mgpfestival.com – includes information on travel, accommodation, entertainment and the Isle of Man, as well as dedicated sections for each of the four events.
There is also a video section, photo gallery, database containing information on MGP riders and, during the MGP Festival, reports, results and pictures will be posted online as soon as they are available.
You can already find entry details, spectator information, previous reports and results, information about getting involved and much more.
There is also a news section which will feature the very latest MGP, trials, classic trials and VMCC updates, as well as breaking news about the festival itself.
The website has been designed and built by Manx firm Duke, the company behind the Official Website of the Isle of Man. Duke was selected for the task by the Isle of Man Government thanks to its success in building the profile and use of iomtt.com, which in 2010 attracted almost 1 million visits during the TT.
The involvement of Duke has also enabled the www.mgpfestival.com website to include another exciting new feature – MGP Live!, which will deliver live commentary and timings from the Mountain course as the action happens. The service is free and does not require registration.
