Live commentaries of The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races have been broadcast by Manx Radio since 1964 and have varied from live slots during ‘normal’ broadcasts, to the now familiar dedicated race coverage and for the first ti
me during the 2022 Pre-TT Classic Road Races, live coverage was provided for the practice sessions.
