Sunday 22nd Septemeber 2024 : MMI Events NI hosted the first (2024) Motors at Mournes Event at Meelmore Lodge, just outside Newcastle, County Down, Northern Ireland in the heart of the scenic Mourne Mountains.
The event was held in aid of the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team and featured a great selection of modified cars as well as a healthy selection of supercars which filled the display area well, all with the absolutely gorgeous backdrop of the Mourne Mountains with all of the fcilities of the superb Meelmore Lodge campsite.

Ashcourt Racing have announced via a Press Release that they will retire from racing at the end of this year’s BSB Season.
Ashcourt Racing Announces Retirement from Racing
Ashcourt Racing has officially announced its withdrawal from competitive racing. After five years of dedication, hard work, and remarkable achievements, the team will step back from the sport at the conclusion of the 2024 season.
Ashcourt Racing established itself as a formidable competitor in both the short circuit and road racing paddocks. The team has celebrated numerous podium finishes and notable successes, including wins in British Supersport, the Isle of Man TT races, Scarborough, the NW200 and The Ulster Grand Prix.
Team Principal, Phil Reed expressed heartfelt sentiments regarding the decision to withdraw: “We would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to our outstanding rider, Lee Johnston. His dedication and exceptional talent have been a tremendous asset to our team, and we truly appreciate everything he contributed during his time with us.”
Rider and current team manager, Lee Johnston, who has been with the team since 2019, also shared his thoughts on the decision: “Racing with Ashcourt has been a remarkable journey. The team has stood by me through thick and thin. Rewarding them with wins in multiple classes on both the roads and on short circuits is nothing short of what they deserve. I completely understand their decision to step back from racing and wish them well with future endeavours. In terms of my future, I’m still competitive in the British Championship and on the roads, my options are wide open at the minute and I’ll update everyone as soon as my plans for 2025 have been confirmed.”
The last race for Ashcourt Racing will take place on the 13th October at the final round of the 2024 BSB Championships, where the team will celebrate their legacy and thank their supporters in a fitting farewell.

Team owner, Alan Gardner “We are looking forward to our 2025 Roads season with Dom. He’s someone I’ve supported for a while, so I am very happy to finally sign Dom officially and welcome him into the WTF Racing Team.”
We will be running the Honda Fireblade in the Superbike and Superstock along with the CBR600RR in Supersport on the roads alongside James Hillier Racing.
