Since the launch of the Isle of Man Festival of Motoring in September 2021, demand for the event has been so overwhelming that we now have added 3 more amazing events to our calendar. The Classic & Sports Car Weekend in mid May and NEW for 2025, MiniFest at the beginning of May and FordFest in mid September. To find out more about these events simply click on the links below.
The Isle of Man is a “must do” destination for all driving enthusiasts. There are some amazing drives on the Island, with superb, scenic sweeping bends and exciting stretches of tarmac. The famous TT circuit is driveable in either direction, but most will take the traditional TT clockwise direction. The sections, corners and mile markers have evocative names; Bray Hill, Ballacraine, Alpine Cottage, Ramsey Hairpin, The Bungalow, Windy Corner and so on. ​Where else would you see kerb-stones painted in circuit apex fashion, black and white stripes, in sleepy towns and villages? The road network is extensive and outside of Douglas there is very little congestion and some of the most popular drives include: Druidale, the route heads up the Ballaugh Glen Road past the campsite towards Ravensdale. Once in Ravensdale, you’ll then need to take the signposted left-hand turn towards Druidale. Port Erin to Peel Coastal Road, The West Baldwin Valley Road, The Tholt-y-Will Road from Sulby Glen to the Bunglalow and last but not least, the Sloc Mountain Road (A36)

Good afternoon Bob. Just a few words to say a big thank you for your excellent organisation and great help for what was for us one of our greatest events. Regards, Mike and Gill Taylor
Just a quick email to say that we've had a fantastic time, attending the Isle of Man Festival of Motoring with fellow members of the Jensen Owners' Club. The island is a fascinating place, especially with around 250 classic cars roaming around! And what a privilege to be parked next to a very rare Jensen FF and an even rarer 'early' Interceptor, one of only 8 remaining! Thanks to Bob Cole at Scenic Car Tours and all the JOC members for making us feel welcome. Kind regards, Mark & Lorna Hooghiemstra
Fabulous event with perfect organisation will be back … had a brilliant time … cheers from team Scotland
Such a well organised event even with the changes that had to be made last minute. We had a fabulous time and made some great friendships. From me and I’m sure everyone who took part, thank you for everything, it was a great event, will be back next year, Trevor Gammage
That was a fantastic event all round. Thank you so much for the considerable organisation and marshaling effort. We got a clean run across the closed mountain road and it was one of the most beautiful, fun and exhilarating drives of all time. Spectacular indeed.... Many thanks, Rob Pearce
As with last year, brilliantly organised & a great team. My mind boggles at the amount of work that goes into it! Well worth the return visit. Many thanks. Heather Parr
Many thanks for organising such a tremendous event - I’m sure we’ll be back again, Carl Gibson
Just a quick note to say what a great job you and the team did on the island. The Morgan group that came over this year following my comments a year ago really enjoyed it. I’m sure there will be plenty that will wish to repeat the trip again next year. I appreciate the difficulties you had to deal with regarding the incident on Friday but the dignity and support for the family you gave was there for all to see. Chris & Jo Ann Lawton, Staffordshire Morgan’s.
My wife Karen and I would like to that you and all your team for organising a tremendous weekend, we enjoyed every minute. Cheers, Mike Bennett
What a fabulous 4 days, great weather, impressive organisation, many, many thanks to everyone involved. It was great to meet so many like-minded people. Lynn & Eric-Little
