A Manx Grand Prix competitor from Castletown has died.
Sam Naughton, 37, died in an incident at Doran’s Bend during this afternoon’s qualifying session.
Race organisers said they were “deeply saddened”.
A spokesperson said: “Having made his debut in 2025, Sam was in his second year of competing at the Manx Grand Prix and was a regular competitor at a number of other road racing events since he began racing in 2020.
“The Manx Grand Prix Races pass on their deepest sympathy to his wife Charlotte, his children Bonnie, Liam, Jesse and Parker, his family, and friends.”
It is the second tragedy to hit the Manx Grand Prix this week, following the death of Mauro Poncini yesterday.
