The 2025 Cookstown 100 ran over the weekend of 25th and 26th April 2025 and marked the opening of the 2025 Road Racing Season.
Three races were scheduled for Friday evening (25/04/2025) however due to inclement weather on the day no racing took place, however a full and busy, if rather reserved, day of practice took place which at least got everyone out on track and got wheels turning on the 2025 season.
Saturday 26th April 2025 was the main race day and with only a little rain in the morning the track soon dried out and then the sun came out and it was glorious – definitely a day for the sun cream.
The dried out course made for some fantastic racing with Michael Dunlop setting a new course lap record of 91.773 mph – previously was 91.480mph – as well as having two superb duels with Derek McGee and Michael Sweeney.
Unfortunately also the Saturday did showcase the dangers of road racing with 2 requirements of the Air Ambulance to extract injured riders. Here’s hoping for a quick and full recovery for all of those involved in the race incidents.
