For 2025 Autofahrt will join the the Isle of Man Festival of Motoring from the 17th to the 21st of September 2025. Autofahrt Manx is now available for booking to all BMW Car Club GB members.

The Isle of Man is a “must do” destination for all driving enthusiasts. There are some amazing drives on the Island, with superb, scenic sweeping bends and exciting stretches of tarmac. The famous TT circuit is driveable in either direction, but most will take the traditional TT clockwise direction. The sections, corners and mile markers have evocative names; Bray Hill, Ballacraine, Alpine Cottage, Ramsey Hairpin, The Bungalow, Windy Corner and so on.  ​Where else would you see kerb-stones painted in circuit apex fashion, black and white stripes, in sleepy towns and villages? The road network is extensive and outside of Douglas there is very little congestion and some of the most popular drives include: Druidale,  the route heads up the Ballaugh Glen Road past the campsite towards Ravensdale. Once in Ravensdale, you’ll then need to take the signposted left-hand turn towards Druidale. Port Erin to Peel Coastal Road, The West Baldwin Valley Road, The Tholt-y-Will Road from Sulby Glen to the Bunglalow and last but not least, the Sloc Mountain Road (A36). The theme for Isle of Man Festival of Motoring in 2025 is The Isle of Man Goes Topless. BMW Convertibles  and Roadsters are encouraged, however the trip is open to all BMWs, Modern MINIs and Alpinas.

As places are limited to a maximum of 10 cars and we expect all places to be taken quickly please contact Scenic Car Tours on 01732 879153 immediately to secure your place. Please ensure when booking that you quote the unique booking reference, which is “IOMFM-BMW”.
