2022 Ulster Grand Prix Day of Celebration :

August 18, 2022 by TomBoyNI

DAY OF CELEBRATION TO MARK ULSTER GRAND PRIX CENTENARY ON AUGUST 20, 2022

A special day of celebration to mark the centenary of the Ulster Grand Prix motorcycle race will take place at the paddock area of the Dundrod circuit on Saturday, August 20.

Organised by the Ulster Grand Prix Supporters Club and the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club with the support of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, the event will run from 11am until 5pm with free admission.

Bruce Anstey, a 13 times winner at the Ulster, will be joined by BSB and road racing star, Glenn Irwin alongside a line-up of other road racers from past including Ray McCullough BEM, the winner of the last 250cc World Championship race at Dundrod in 1971.

There will also be a large collection of classic and racing machinery on display, including at least one machine from every decade of competition at the Ulster.

Also on the day 100 riders will officially have the opportunity to take part in a special ride-out lap of the 7.4 mile Co. Antrim circuit to mark the occasion, which still retains the title as the World’s Fastest Road racing course.

With lots of family fun and entertainment in the paddock area, Saturday August 20 promises to be a great day out for all the family, giving race fans an opportunity to reflect on the past and share stories of yesteryear with the motorbiking family as the grand old race celebrates its 100th birthday.

If you wish to be one of the lucky 100 riders to take part in the ride out, please go to the UGP Web Site, www.ulstergrandprix.net where you will find the details on how to purchase the limited entry.

2023 Ulster Grand Prix to Go Ahead?

A post has appeared on Facebook claiming that an application has been made for a 2023 Ulster Grand Prix.

“The Revival Racing Motorcycle Club have officially applied to the MCUI (UC) to run the 2023 Ulster Grand Prix on Saturday 12th August (subject to BSB dates). This club is headed by Phillip McCallen a 16-time winner around the Dundrod Circuit.”

2023 Ulster Grand Prix to Go Ahead? — 2023 UGP to Go Ahead?

The last time the Ulster Grand Prix ran was 2019, financial difficulties and rumours re the alleged poor management of the event spread like wildfire, much like Covid 19, which ultimately resulted in the event being cancelled in 2020 and 2021.

A last ditched effort to save the event for the Centenary year of 2022 failed and a Day of Celebration was instead panned to mark the 100th year.

This is superb news for the 2023 Road Racing Calendar and may be a lifeline to the event in the longer term.

June 21, 2022 by TomBoyNI

Jack Oliver was tragically killed at the 2022 Kells Road Races.

22 year old Jack came off his Kawasaki machine in the Supersport race at the Crossakiel circuit.

Jack was a rising star of the road racing scene and was exceptionally skilled and an absolute pleasure to watch.

Jack had claimed his first victory at the 2022 Tandragee Road Races and had recorded a fasted lap in the Junior Support Class at the Kells meeting.

My deepest condolences to the family, friends and team of Jack, Rest in Peace.

2022 Post TT Races Cancelled

June 11, 2022 by TomBoyNI

2022 Post TT Races Cancelled :

The Southern 100 Club have announced via a Facebook post that the 2022 Post TT Races have been cancelled.

This is really unfortunate news as the Post TT Races are a superb event and give many riders who may not have competed on the TT Mountain Course a chance to wind up their TT Festival with a multi start competitive day of road racing.

DAO Post TT Road Races 2022 :

It is with regret that Southern 100 Racing, organisers of the DAO Post TT Road Races have to announce that this year’s races due to be held on Saturday 11th June, have been cancelled.

With the Senior TT having been postponed from Friday 10th June to Saturday 11th June, commencing at 11.00am, many of the officials, marshals and other personnel involved with the DAO Post TT are also required for duty on the Mountain Course and may not be available later for the Billown Course.

Southern 100 Racing have looked at the possibility of running later in the day, unfortunately the road closing order makes it impractical and with no guarantee that we would have full medical or marshal cover, the only decision that could be taken is to cancel the event for 2022.

We are extremely disappointed that the DAO Post TT Road Races will not be run and apologise to all competitors, especially those who have made the journey to the Island for the races and to all the race fans who look forward to a day out at Billown to bring the TT Experience to a close.

Southern 100 Racing look forward to seeing you at Billown in July for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.
