Unfortunately the 2024 Macau Grand Prix turned into an absolute wash out for the motorcycles resulting in the sole qualifying session that ran becoming what determined for the placings for the Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The 2024 Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix was cancelled on Saturday night.
Wet weather, which had plagued the event all week, eventually forced the cancellation of the race.
This is how the circuit looked 10 mins before the start of the scheduled warmup prior to the Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The 2024 Manx Grand Prix was held on the Isle of Man from 18th August – 26th August 2024.
The event was hampered by inclement weather which lead to numerous schedule changes and cancellations however racing got underway and lead to two race days on Saturday 24th August 2024 and Bank Holiday Monday 26th August 2024.
Full credit must go to the event organisers as well as the Marshals, riders, teams, spectators and residents for making the best out of a poor situation with everyone pulling together to get the best outcome for the 2024 Manx Grand Prix as possible.

The 2024 North West 200 took place over the race week of 6th – 11th May 2024 on the sun kissed North Coast of Northern Ireland.
Due to the May Day Bank Holiday and a clash with the BSB Calendar a slight change was implemented to the NW200 Schedule in that the traditional Tuesday Practice Session was moved to Wednesday. From there it was onto Thursday for another day time practice session and then the evening’s race session.
Wednesday 8th May 2024 Practice Session :
Wednesday’s practice laid down the cards for what the week had ahead with Glen Irwin lapping inside the course record on the Superbike on the first practice session on the ‘big’ bikes! The Carrickfergus man on the Hager PBM Ducati completed his lap at an average speed of 124.895mph, 0.2 seconds quicker than Peter Hickman’s official lap record speed of 124.799mph.
The Top Tens Across the Classes were as follows :

The Supertwin qualifying session was cut short due to a red flag incident.
Thursday 9th May 2024 Practice Session :
With rain overnight, the track was wet and damp in places for the start of Thursday’s Practice Session. However the weather was perfect from early on and it did not take too long for the circuit to dry out. From here it was a mixed morning, on one hand there were three red flags, one during the Supersports, one during the Superstocks and one in the Supertwin Session, thankfully none of the incidents involved serious injuries.
On the other hand then there were records getting smashed. Glenn Irwin took almost 2 seconds of the lap record, although this is not an official record, as that can only be made or taken during racing and with Davey Todd hitting 209.8 mph at the speed trap it has set the scene perfectly for an exceptionally high level of racing for the Thursday and Saturday sessions.
The 2024 Cookstown 100 ran over the weekend of 26th and 27th April 2024. Friday saw every weather imaginable, properly four seasons in one day, with almost freezing temperatures around the circuit, then came the hail and sleet, followed by wind and rain with the odd sunny interval. However by later afternoon and just in time for the evening’s race session, the sun appeared and brought us a lovely spring evening, even if it was a little chilly.
Saturday, on the other hand was bright and sunny all day long. Whilst lots of other places in Northern Ireland got soaked the Orritor circuit remained bone dry, bright and sunny. What that then did was bring the crowds. With car parking really only available on the Orritor Road cars were lined from the road closure right into the mouth of the town with the racing fans turning out in their hundreds they took on the hike to the circuit to witness a full day of racing. With 15 races on the schedule the day was packed with action and real quality racing was on display throughout all classes. The cumulation of the event took us to the Cookstown 100 Feature race and with weather hampering the last couple of renditions of the finale this year we were treated to an epic race. Dominic Herbertson v Michael Sweeney was the dual of the top two over each of the 12 laps, each time each rider was on the other’s rear tyre and the lead changed almost as many times as there were laps. At the chequered flag it was Dominic Herbertson who lifted the trophy and brought to a conclusion the 2024 Cookstown 100 – an example in how to run an event.
Well done to all those involved in the organisation of the event and also to each and every competitor and their team across each and every class.
Richard Cooper’s 2022 NW200 Supertwin Wins Reinstated :
Richard Cooper crossed the finish line first in both of the 2022 North West 200 Supertwin Races. He was riding the JMC Roofing Kawasaki machine which had been prepared by Ryan Farquhar. A infringement was found following the first race, which related to a bracket on the fairings of the machine. An appeal was immediately lodged and Cooper was allowed to enter the second race under appeal. The result of this infringement was then ruled to be disqualification from both races. The appeal process was already in action, as was the controversy.
The Appeal was finally upheld on 1st November 2023.
A statement from the MCUI(UC) concluded the following :
