The 2022 Macau Grand Prix ran from the 17th – 20th November 2022 and had two motorcycle races built into the schedule.
Unfortunately due to an incident in one of the car races oil was deposited onto the circuit and following two citing laps from the motorcycles the first race had to be cancelled.
The second race was postponed until the Sunday morning (local time) which saw all bikes get out safely for their sole race.
The results of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix – 54th Edition are as follows…

The Post-TT Races will no longer be held after 31 years of the event.
The Southern 100 Club has confirmed the decision following the announcement of the schedule for next year’s TT on the Mountain Course.
Traditionally, the Post-TT Races have been held on the final Saturday of the TT fortnight.
However this would clash, in 2023, with the new TT programme with next year’s Senior race scheduled for Saturday, 10 June.
S100 officials says the decision is largely down to lack of available medical personnel and marshals after the TT festival.
Meanwhile the Pre-TT Classic Road Races will go ahead next year but on a revised timetable.
It will now run for three days straight on the Billown Course from Friday, 26 May through to Sunday, 28 May.
The Friday session will run from 6pm to 9.35pm; the Saturday session from 1pm to 4.30pm and between 6pm and 9pm; and the Sunday slot from 1pm until no later than 6pm.
The Southern 100 Road Races are due to be held as planned from 10-13 July next year.

PRESS RELEASE – REVIVAL RACING MCC LTD – ULSTER GRAND PRIX 2023
27th October 2022
As a Motorcycle event promotor, we have been assessing the feasibility of reviving the UGP in 2023. Unfortunately, due to the shortness of available time to develop the plan with all vested parties such as the MCUI (UC), sponsors, local and central government, we cannot ascertain how much funding is available to run a successful event, therefore the risk in running the UGP is simply far too great for us to consider. As this situation is unlikely to change in time to allow us to progress for 2023, we have therefore reluctantly withdrawn our UGP date application with the MCUI (UC).
Our Revival Racing MCC will continue to focus on our successful Classic Bike Festival Ireland, making further announcements in the New Year. Additionally, we will continue to be ready to promote the UGP if the situation in the future makes this viable. We would like to extend our thanks all those who have supported us, our club members, sponsors, and friends with special thanks to Tourism NI and Lisburn & Castlereagh Council for indicating their support had we been promoting the UGP in 2023.

I would like to pass on my thoughts and prayers also to Chrissy’s family, friends and team. Rest in Peace.
Chrissy Rouse
Following an accident during Bennetts British Superbike Championship race three at Donington Park (on Sunday 2 October 2022), competitor Chrissy Rouse crashed heavily on the opening lap of the race and was unavoidably struck by an immediately following rider. He sustained a significant head injury.
The race was stopped and he was treated immediately trackside by the BSB Medical Team before being transferred to the circuit medical centre.
He was stabilised and put in a medically induced coma at the medical centre before being transferred to Queens Medical Centre/University Hospital, Nottingham for further assessment and treatment. He underwent an emergency neurosurgical procedure shortly after admission.
It is with great regret that we have to announce that Chrissy Rouse aged 26, from Newcastle upon Tyne, has succumbed to his injuries, and passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family in hospital earlier this afternoon.
On behalf of Chrissy’s family they wish to convey their deep appreciation for the support and well wishes that they have received in recent days. As well they wish to thank all the attending marshals and medical services who provided such skill and care attending to Chrissy. The family also ask for privacy at this difficult time as they attempt to deal with their devastating loss.
MSVR is now working with the Coroner, Police and the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board in order to investigate the full circumstances of this tragic accident.
Our deepest condolences are extended to Chrissy’s family, friends and team members.
Following on from this year’s successful delivery of the new-look MGP, the dates for the 2023 MGP have now been confirmed. Continuing to be centred around the August Bank Holiday, next year’s Manx Grand Prix will start on Sunday 20th August and conclude on Monday 28th August 2023.
As the event marks its centenary, the 2023 Manx Grand Prix will bring with it an additional program of special events that will both pay tribute to the event’s long-established history and celebrate the future successes yet to come.

The most far-reaching set of changes in recent memory is set to come into effect at the 2023 Isle of Man TT Races with the introduction of an expanded race programme that promises to deliver real value for money for fans and competitors alike. The new festival format is also designed to create further opportunities for fans to visit the world’s most famous road race by alleviating the pressures on the Island’s infrastructure and better aligning travel and accommodation options.
Whilst TT fans always have an eye on travel options, the headline news is undoubtedly the expanded race programme, which sees the number of race days increase from four to six, and the number of races increase from eight to ten. The 2023 race programme is also set to increase from seven days to eight, with three sets of back-to-back race days split now by just two rest days. As well as injecting a large dose of extra energy into what is already a thrilling week, it is a schedule that guarantees more return, with the majority of fans getting to enjoy more TT racing when comparing the schedule to the current iteration.
THE TEN-RACE PROGRAMME :
2023’s ten-race programme sees the introduction of a second race for Superstocks and a second race for Supertwins, not only ensuring all five classes have parity with two races each, but delivering real value for money for teams and competitors who, of course, now gain more track time and a second chance of glory in those classes.
To accommodate the newly expanded race schedule, the TT will surprisingly start a day later than is usual, beginning on the Bank Holiday Monday (UK) and featuring not one, but two, separate qualifying sessions – one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The remaining qualifying sessions will then run as expected, utilising the evenings until competitors arrive at Friday’s lengthier afternoon session (introduced for 2022), which will remain part of the schedule moving forward.
It is when competitors reach the first weekend of racing that things start to look really different, with the incredibly popular middle weekend now boasting three races instead of just two. Starting with a tantalising double-header of Supersport and Sidecar, fans then only have to wait 24 hours before the first of the ‘six-lappers’, with the headline-grabbing Superbike TT moving to a Sunday in line with many global events.
Traditionally, Monday sees the first tranche of visitors heading home to work or family, so it is here that we now see the first of two rest days. However, for visiting fans going deeper into the week, there is only a short hiatus before the next set of back-to-back race days – this time stacked with four races.
Tuesday will host the first races for the Superstock and Supertwin classes, while there’s more Supersport action just 24 hours later – again scheduled alongside the Sidecars. With the two Sidecar races moving closer to each other on the calendar, superfans of that class will more easily be able to catch both races – while the teams and competitors in the sidecar paddock will also then be free to travel home.
Now deep into race week – and with renewed capacity – it is hoped and expected that the Island will better accommodate a greater number of fans for what is set to be a scintillating climax to the festival. That big finish is set in motion with a new-look end to race week – one that follows Thursday’s rest day.
With the Island’s popular TT bank holiday remaining in place, Friday will now play host to the Superstock and Supertwin machines, with teams and riders in those classes gaining a second race in 2023. But the big one – the Senior TT – moves to a Saturday, creating another set of back-to-back race-days and, for the first time, a second long-weekend for TT fans to choose or target.
The 2022 Mid Antrim 150 was due to run over the 9th and 10th September 2022 and marked the end of the Irish / Northern Irish Road Racing Calendar for the year. Practice Sessions were ran on the 9th September 2022. Race day was scheduled for Saturday 10th September 2022. However due to acts of vandalism and sabotage to the track the event had to be cancelled in the early hours of the Saturday morning.
