There is a good entry of 18 teams for Andreas Racing Association’s final event of the season this Saturday.

The four-hour solo endurance event will start at 12.15pm, preceded by practice from 9.30am and a sidecar dash for cash race at 11 o’clock.

A number of solo competitors are travelling to the island to take part in the main event (13 in total), notably TT and MGP rider Kamil Holan all the way from the Czech Republic.

He is teaming up with locals Lex Geval and Sam Bowers on an unfaired CB500 Honda in class one. They will no doubt have some close rivalry with the trio of similarly-mounted Will Corkill, Juan Hunter and Jamie Everitt.

Overall favourites will undoubtedly be Mikey Evans and Rory Parker on a Suzuki GSX-R and Honda Fireblade respectively (in the new relay team section). Also in the mix will be Illy Quayle and Robbie Gibbons of Chester.

Jamie Cringle is a late addition, teaming up with TT media officer Ed Wilson on the Wiz Norton rotary.
