The Manx Grand Prix's newly launched Ultra-Lightweight class is to incorporate the popular 400cc machines as well, race organisers have decided. The club expects the new race class to become increasingly popular, but in its inaugural year, the change will increase grid numbers for the new class as well as promising some exciting racing on the Mountain Course. Club chairman, Peter Maddocks said: 'We were disappointed by the number of entries for the revived Ultra-Lightweight class incorporating the Supersport 300 machines. We are committed to running the race this year and anticipate the numbers rising in subsequent years, however we have now incorporated the 400 cc machines which will make a more competitive race for these smaller machines.'
