Five days of qualifying will commence on Sunday 18th August 2024 ahead of a six-race schedule spread across an action-packed Summer Bank Holiday weekend.
SIX RACE SCHEDULE :
Racing will begin on Friday 23rd August with both the Lightweight Manx Grand Prix featuring the ever-popular 2-stroke machines, and the Classic Senior Manx Grand Prix – brought forward from its previous Saturday slot as part of the expanded schedule.
Due to a clash with the 2024 BSB Calendar and a Bank Holiday Monday overlap with the 2024 North West 200 the Organisers have announced (via a Social Media post) a change to the upcoming Qualifying Schedule.
The organisers of the 2024 North West 200 will introduce significant changes to the qualifying schedule at this year’s event.

Davey, who previously rode for the team during the 2018 season, will ride the team’s BMW M1000RR Superbike at the famous street race in the far east next month. We would like to thank Phillip Neill and Tas Racing for entrusting us with bringing Davey to compete at Macau, and also their support for the event. We very much look forward to having Davey back in the team, albeit for one race.
JOHN BURROWS –
“I am delighted to have Davey back riding one of our bikes again. After a great season together in 2018, we remained friends and always said if an opportunity arises to work together again we wouldn’t say no, so when Davey called me a couple of weeks ago to ask about the possibility of running him at Macau it did not take long for me to make my decision. Davey has shown in the past two BSB rounds that he works well with the BMW, and given his great form around Macau in the past, that is something that excites me looking ahead to next month.”
DAVEY TODD –
“I’m really excited to be rejoining with Burrows Engineering/RK Racing for the Macau GP. The team who I did my first TT with in 2018! We’ve talked about working together again every year since then I think, and it’s cool that we now get to do it with the support of my TAS Racing team on familiar BMW M1000RR machinery. It’s a perfect combination so I can’t wait to get out to Macau and get going!”
With winter fast approaching it is now a good idea to give your motorcycles and cars a thorough winter clean.
Why you may ask?
To protect your paintwork from the harshness of winter. The increased road grime, the harsh temperature variations and the dreaded road salt that will eat and destroy everything that it can. (If you are an all year biker then In relation to road salt this is even more important for you and you really need to look at anti-corrosion protection for your machine. My personal recommendation is ACF-50, but that process will be covered in another post.). Now is the time to get ready for the attack of winter.
What should I do?
Deep clean and protect. Take the time now to do a little hard work to make your maintenance throughout the winter that little bit easier.
This is not meant to be a detailed post on how to wash your car, so if you have any questions please feel free to comment below this post but here is what I recommend to get yourself winter ready – the final step uses Fusso F7 – and the review you came here for.
One of the best pieces of advice I can give is do nothing in direct sunlight or when the paint is hot.
Snowfoam – to remove any obvious dirt and grime and soften what remains on the paint.
Citrus Spray – to remove or soften any bugs and other road grim.
Thoroughly rinse, if you notice a large amount of grime being removed a second dousing of snow foam would do no harm.
Wheels and tyres can be addressed as the snow foam dwells.
Wash using a wash mitt – using the two bucket method, one bucket contains your suds of choice, the other is for washing and rinsing your mitt. Do one panel at a time and rinse your mat thoroughly between each panel.
Decontaminate – what you need to do here will vary by car, but you may benefit from clay, tar removal etc.
Rinse thorouhly.
Dry. A car dryer is ideal – and screw fix sell a vacuum cleaner that also blows for about £35. It is a bargain and an absolute must if you plan on doing similar with your motorcycle.
At this point I decided to polish the car using Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I didn’t need to clay, or use a tar / spot removal product and Autoglym SRP is now often overlooked for some of the more influencer heavy brands, but don’t underestimate this product. It is an absolute essential for any garage shelf!
Paul Jordan started with Prez Racing 2021 have previously ridden with Burrows / RK Racing.
2022 brought the Jordan / Prez pairing a podium in the Supertwin class at the North West 200 and a third place podium finish in the TT Supertwin Race.
In 2023, Paul Jordan placed on the podium at the North West 200, finishing second in Supertwin race 1.
The spilt from Prez was announced in a Facebook Post.
“Sorry for the lack of post over the past few months.
Just been taking a time out and trying to put plans in place for 2024.
Unfortunately for myself and prez racing we won’t be going into 2024 together which is a shame, firstly I want to thank prez racing for everything over past few years, for what’s we achieved was amazing so I can’t thank them enough. For the mechanics that have a helped and put endless hours of effort in for me I will be forever grateful, so thank you for everything once again.
For my sponsors that has stood by me this year thank you again without you I couldn’t live my childhood dreams.
2024 is not in pending and I hope to have something in place very soon which can only bring nothing but excitement and drive back in to me to keep improving and make that next step.
Hope everyone is doing well and I’ll see you all soon”

NC500 Super Unleaded Fuel : (Accurate as of September 2023)
“Where can you get Super Unleaded Fuel on the Scotland’s North Coast 500 Route?”
This is one of the most asked questions about the NC500 route, alongside, where can you get fuel on the NC500?
Thankfully the answer to the latter question is easy – there are loads of petrol stations along the route and as long as the range of the vehicle you are travelling in or on has is comfortably around 80 miles you don’t need to worry at all.
However if it is Super Unleaded, or E5 fuel, that you need for your vehicle, whether due to age, performance or personal choice then things become a little more difficult – although certainly not impossible.
Starting Point : Inverness :
Most people will start the NC500 from Inverness and then more off either clockwise or anticlockwise around the route. Which direction to go is another huge question, both options have their plus points and to be honest there are no real negatives – after all you will be going into the Scottish Highlands to take on an epic road trip, left or right is really of minimal consequence!
The good news is, there is no issue in getting Super Unleaded or E5 fuel in Inverness.
