Northern listeners will remember' that in the past there were two Manx races-the Mannin Moar (for big cars) and the Mannin Beg (for small ones). Last year, however, these were merged into a single event — the R.A.C. International Light Car Race. It is for cars up to 1,500 c.c. engine capacity, and is run over fifty laps of a four-mile circuit. It has been truly described as a ' round the houses ' event.
In this period listeners will hear the finish of the race. The start and a description of the race in the running were given on North at 1.45 and 3 p.m. respectively.
