No Insurance for Irish Road Racing in 2023 :
An MCI Directors meeting was held on Thursday 18th May 2023.
The affordability of insurance was discussed as part of the agenda. On the agenda was the financial viability of a recent quote. It was determined that this quote was not viable.
There will officially be no insurance cover for 2023.
An EGM will be held in 21 days.
Since the making of this announcement the Irish clubs have now all confirmed that their respective events have been cancelled for 2023.

2023 Skerries 100 Postponed :
The Loughshinny Motorcycle Club have announced via a Facebook statement that the 2023 Skerries 100 has been postponed from 1st and 2nd July 2023, and is now scheduled to take place on 9th and 10th September 2023.
Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club Committee have taken the difficult decision to reschedule the Country Crest Skerries 100 Road Races 2023 that were due to take place on 1st and 2nd July. The new proposed date is September 9th & 10th (subject to MCI securing the relevant insurance)
This is due to Motorcycling Ireland, the governing body of motorcycle sport in the Republic of Ireland being unable to secure a suitable insurance quote/cover for any form of competitive motorcycling in the South of Ireland, this year to date. Protracted negotiations are still ongoing with various insurance companies.
The club has had to make this difficult decision due to the limited time now available to organise such a major sporting event.
The Country Crest Skerries 100 2023 will take place on September 9th & 10th (subject to MCI securing the relevant insurance)
We thank you for your continued support and will keep you updated if there are any changes to this situation.
