Start line from the Armoy Road Races — 2023 Armoy Road Races Confirmed

The 2023 Race of Legends Armoy Road Races have been confirmed by the club via a Press Release published on Facebook.

Statement by Chairman William Munnis on behalf of the Directors of the Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club.

“After a directors’ meeting earlier this week, the Club can confirm that the Race of Legends Armoy Road Races will take place in 2023 on Friday/Saturday 28th and 29th July.

“Careful consideration was given regarding the insurance costs and other associated information to run this race. Caution will be adhered to throughout, to ensure that we can deliver the well run, and high-profile road race that we are known for in Armoy whilst meeting the needs of the event.

“The £30K insurance cost is extensive and many other costs have also risen. We would, however, like to thank the MCUI for all their hard work in achieving a working solution to these insurance issues. We would also like to thank the local community, residents, our sponsors, riders and the wider road racing community for their support and encouragement throughout – this hasn’t been an easy period and the decision to run the race this year hasn’t been made lightly.

“We will be looking at support packages and these will be launched via our website soon – please do keep an eye out on our social media platforms and other road racing media outlets for further information in due course. We now begin the detailed planning, at a much later stage, of running a road race at the end of July!”

Posts promoting road racing events constitute the huge proportion of this site’s content and each post is also promoted on at least the Facebook Page.

That is where the problem lies. Facebook, Meta and Twitter simply do not share our posts in a fair way.

The Facebook Page has in excess of 1k followers and likes yet, for example, the post promoting the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship was shared with only 40 people! Facebook let 4% of our followers see that post. They then, very kindly, offered me the opportunity to have 1200 people see the post for £14. So, to get the message out to slightly more than those who have chosen to follow the page the Meta company expects £14 – and that won’t even be the entire 1k+ who actually wanted to follow the Page!
