2022 Isle of Wight Road Races : Delayed

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 by TomBoyNI

The Isle of Wight Road Races have today released a statement explaining that the 2022 event has been delayed.

Isle of Wight Road Races, which was due to go ahead in April 2022, will now be delayed due to unresolved issues with its Motor Race Order (MRO). This is the permission needed to close public roads for motor sport and is essential for the event to go ahead.

Event promoter James Kaye commented: “We have reluctantly accepted that the Isle of Wight Road Races now can’t go ahead on our planned dates this year. Our Motor Race Order application was submitted on time to the Isle of Wight Council on 19th October 2021, but has not yet been determined. We understand that there are some technical concerns, but this is out of our control and the clock has run down.”

2022 Manx GP : New Details Confirmed

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 by TomBoyNI

2022 Manx GP : New Details Confirmed :

NEW LOOK CONFIRMED FOR THE 2022 MGP:

The Manx Motor Cycle Club and Department for Enterprise have today confirmed plans for a ‘new look’ Manx Grand Prix in 2022. It follows a review undertaken by both organisations earlier this year, working closely with other stakeholders critical to the delivery of the event including the TT Marshals Association, Manx Road Racing Medical Services and ACU Events Ltd.

The review was designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Manx Grand Prix, which is set to celebrate its centenary in 2023. Factors considered as part of the review included: Analysis of the delivery costs and the benefits to the local economy, the impact road closures required to stage the event had on residents and businesses, safety risk management, the provision of sufficient marshalling cover for the full event duration, and fan, media and industry relevance, and the continuous need to attract new fans.

The new look for the event will bring to an end the use of the Classic TT designation, with a five-race programme planned featuring a range of classes for modern and classic machinery all held under the Manx Grand Prix title.

The Manx Grand Prix Races for modern machinery will be more closely aligned to the Isle of Man TT Races, with the Senior and Junior Races, for Supersport and Supertwin machines respectively, operating to similar (but not identical) specifications as seen at the TT, giving riders the opportunity to achieve their goals on the TT course.

2022 North West 200 – Confirmed

January 12, 2022 by TomBoyNI

The 2022 North West 200 has been confirmed!

Motorcycle road racing action will return to Northern Ireland’s north coast in 2022 with the North West 200 race week festival on May 8-14.

The world’s leading road racers will renew their acquaintance with the famous 8.9 mile Triangle road circuit that links the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine after a two year enforced absence caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. It will also be the first international road race to take place since action at all the world’s leading events came to an abrupt halt in March 2020.

‘Although the pandemic stopped the race action over the past two seasons, the management team of Coleraine and District Motor Club have been working hard to ensure the structures and support that underpin the North West 200 have remained in place for the day when we would be able make this announcement.’ Club Chairman, Stanleigh Murray, said.

The North coast road racing festival has also been given a major boost with fonaCAB and Nicholl Oils, the event’s title sponsors in 2019, maintaining their commitment.
‘We are delighted to have retained the support of our loyal title sponsors.’ Murray said.

‘To have the backing of fonaCAB and Nicholl Oils, two of the Province’s leading companies, gives us confidence as we plan the return of one of Northern Ireland’s major sporting attractions.’

‘We are delighted to once again be title sponsors of the International North West 200.’ fonaCAB’s William McCausland said.

2022 Ulster Grand Prix – Confirmed

January 12, 2022 by TomBoyNI

Breaking : The 2022 Ulster Grand Prix will take place on the Dundrod circuit from 16-20 August 2022.

Full article available here.

The 2020 event looked unlikely to happen because of the crippling debts which left the meeting without an organising committee but ultimately the race was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic and the 2021 race suffered a similar fate.

The race will now be resurrected by the Revival Racing Motorcycle Club and will celebrate its centenary this year.

“We understand the unique appeal of the Ulster Grand Prix to riders and fans alike, and we are delighted to bring racing back to this famous track,” read a statement from the new organising club.

“It’s been a very uncertain time for the sport because of coronavirus and we can’t wait to hear bikes roaring down the flying kilo again this summer.

“We are indebted to the volunteers at the Ulster Grand Prix for their collaboration and continuing hard work to stage this famous race in its centenary year.

“More details of the week-long race week programme will be announced soon.”

John McGuinness Returns to Honda for 2022 Roads Campaign

December 1, 2021 by TomBoyNI

Honda UK Motorcycles have just announced (maybe the worst kept secret) their line up for the 2022 Road Racing Season and John McGuinness is back in the saddle of a Fireblade.

The full Press Release is available here : https://www.honda.co.uk/engineroom/bikes/john-mcguinness-back-on-the-blade/

McPint will be partnered up with Northern Irishman Glenn Irwin who plans on making his TT Debut in 2022. Glen has shown some real talent on the roads already with some cracking results at the North West 200, including taking the big one on a Ducati, Covid has since limited him to the track, but It is safe to say he will have the best mentor currently on the roads, and with only three TT wins being the difference between McGuinness and Road Racing Royalty Joey Dunlop I think It is fairly safe to say this is a massive year for both McGuinness and Honda Racing.

Only yesterday did we get confirmation of the TT 2022 Schedule, but with two years racing having escaped the Island I’m sure there will be loads more breaking news this side of the new year!

TT 2022 Schedule Confirmed

November 30, 2021 by TomBoyNI

With Covid 19 still among us and a new variant already starting rumours on how 2022 may be affected the TT have come forth with some great news today and confirmed the schedule for the 2022 TT Races!

Coincidentally the 2022 Schedule is being announced a year to the day later than the cancellation of 2021 was announced.

The news has been posted on the Official TT Web Site and explains the changes, and why they are important, but mores that they are just a step for bigger changes die to take effect in 2023.

You can read the entire post and explanation on how and why the changes will work here.

SMALL CHANGES = BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Whilst the changes to the schedule next year are less significant than those planned for 2023, they still come after a lot of careful thought and feedback – as well as some valuable first-hand experience – as Clerk of the Course, Gary Thompson, was keen to explain:
TT 2022 SCHEDULE CONFIRMED
