Isle of Wight Road Races is a step closer to becoming a reality.

Posting on social media yesterday (Tuesday) organisers behind the event say they have submitted their application for a Motor Race Order to the Isle of Wight Council.

It has also submitted a Permit issued by the ACU.

The deadline for the company to apply for permission was looming, as previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio.

The original ‘Chale’ course will run over 12.4 miles through Chale, Shorwell and Brighstone using a long stretch of the Military Road.

It will be based at Atherfield and the action takes place between 20 - 23 April 2022.

Earlier this year, a West Wight village has expressed its frustration with the event.

Islanders have highlighted concerns about speeding and the potential copycat effect the races could have on other ‘boy racers’.

Recently, 1,070 Brighstone residents responded to a survey and 31 per cent defended the event saying they want it to go ahead.
