How can you include both the Senior and Mad Sunday in a 3 night trip? Mad Sunday is 5 days before the Senior, which is held on the Friday following Mad Sunday.

I presume you mean the Superbike race on the Saturday and Mad Sunday.

Oh bollox, I thought the seniors was on the sat with mad sunday the day after, the way it was explained it was to was that the racing was over on the sat and it was a last chance to run the circuit before normality returned on monday, my bad

Ok well nothing is set in stone, dates can be moved or altered to suit the majority.

Timetable for Race week is usually as follows:

Sat - Superbikes & Side Car 1
Sun - Mad Sunday
Mon - Superstock & Supersport 1
Wed - Supersport 2 & Sidecar 2
Fri - Senior
Sat - 125s & 250s on the Billown circuit

Races will be run on non-race days if postponed the day before because of the weather.

Shedloads of useful info can be found at http://www.iomtt.com/

If you went for the Senior and stayed til the Monday, you'd find the roads are shedloads quieter because people start heading home from the Friday night. The mountain section will be one way for the full TT fortnight however, so although a week late for "Mad" Sunday, you'd still be able to get a run in with the roads one way over the mountain, and you'd enjoy it so much more due to lower traffic volumes.

Gutted I won't be there on my usual Marshalling point at Sulby Bridge this year.

Hold up, get there early enough on the Friday, like we did and you get there for the start of the racing First/earliest ferry out would do.

Your trip mate. Just a suggestion. We can have our own Mad Sunday

Word of warning from someone who's been a few times: the ferries are not always on time. You don't want to arrive late and miss the racing.
