2024 Ulster Superbike Championship Calendar :

The 2024 Ulster Superbike Schedule has been added to the TBNI Road Racing Calendar, both on site and to the iCal.

Things kick off on the 16th March 2024 with Round 1 of the Championship at Bishopscourt and concludes on 19th October 2024 with the Sunflower Trophy. There are nine further events during the season between Kirkistown and Bishopscourt to keep you entertained and none of those will clash with Cookstown, the North West or Armoy.

So subscribe to the iCal and get all the dates automatically added to your phone’s calendar as well as all Road Racing, WSBK, BSB, MotoGP and Manx events. It’s free, it’s awesome and if Carlsberg made iCal Calendars for motorcycle sports it would be this one!

Lee Johnston Returns for 2024 Isle of Man TT

Lee Johnston Returns for 2024 Isle of Man TT :

Lee Johnston has announced he will return to the Isle of Man for the 2024 TT Races with Ashcourt Racing.

Johnston missed the 2023 event due to life-threatening injuries sustained at the 2023 North West 200. This year his TT Campaign will feature a Honda CBR1000RR-R SP for the Superbike and Superstock events and an Aprilia RS 660 in the Supertwin class. His machine for the Supersport class is yet to be confirmed.

“It’s never good to miss a year at the TT, but even more so when the weather was as good as it was last year. The amount of track time and the sheer number of laps completed saw the game move on considerably. You’ve got to do 130mph+ now to win a Supersport race which is unreal.”

“I’m being realistic about it. This will be somewhat of a rebuilding year but I can’t wait to get back on my bike at the TT. Obviously I want to do as well as possible, particularly in the Supersport and Supertwin Races, but I want to enjoy it as well.”

Herbertson Signs for Burrows Engineering by RK Racing :

Burrows Engineering by RK Racing have announced via a Social Media Post that Dom ‘the Bomb’ Herbertson will be their representation for the 2024 Roads Season.

Burrows Engineering by RK Racing have announced that Dominic Herbertson has signed with the team for the 2024 season, and is set to contest every solo class at this year’s Isle of Man TT Races.

Herbertson replaces the outgoing Mike Browne and will ride the team’s BMW M 1000 RR in the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock and Milwaukee Senior TT Races, as well as a Yamaha YZF-R6 in the two Monster Energy Supersport Races. The team have also confirmed they’ll contest the two Carole Nash Supertwin Races with the popular 32-year-old.

Led by Team Principal and former TT racer John Burrows, the decision to sign an established rider in Herbertson – who lapped at over 130mph average for the first time in 2023 – marks a move away from the team’s position of fielding riders in the earlier stages of their road racing careers, with the likes of Dan Kneen, Jamie Hamilton, Malachi Mitchell-Thomas, Davey Todd and Browne all being brought through the ranks with Burrows’ highly-professional outfit.

Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Three-time North West 200 race winner, Ian Hutchinson will be re-united with the Milenco Padgett’s Honda squad for a full-scale onslaught on the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport races at the 2024 Briggs Equipment North West 200 in May.

Briggs Equipment Ireland | Padgetts Motorcycles

The move marks another inspiring comeback for the 44 year old during a career that has seemed to be an almost relentless battle against injury and illness since he last raced full-time with the Yorkshire-based team during 2010.

Hutchinson’s stunning ten race winning run with the Padgett’s team at that season’s NW200, Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix and Scarborough Gold Cup ended when he sustained a serious leg injury at Silverstone in September 2010.

After enduring more than 40 operations, the ‘Bingley Bullet’ eventually fought his way back into contention to claim victory in the 2013 Macau Grand Prix plus, a third win at the NW200 in 2016 and eight more TT triumphs before he crashed and broke his leg again during the 2017 Senior TT.

Battling back to fitness again, Hutchy returned to road racing with Honda in 2018, riding a Padgetts prepared CBR600RR to 7th and 16th place finishes in the Supersport class at the NW200.

2024 Tandragee 100 Cancelled

by

2024 Tandragee 100 Cancelled :

The North Armagh Club have confirmed today via a press release that the 2024 Tandragee 100 has been cancelled.

19/12/2023 Press Release :

On behalf of the North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd it is with deep regret that I confirm that the 2024 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 has been cancelled.

We have been unable to gain commitment for necessary resurfacing to be carried out in time to meet extended deadlines: (a) to confirm our intent to commit with MCUI UC (and relevant other Clubs) to a sizeable non-refundable insurance premium quotation; and (b) to confirm with 2&4W Motorsport Ltd definite use of a Road Closing Order (which will provide enough time to allow another motorsport club to make application for use of same in 2024).  We wish every success for all other motorsport clubs in 2024.

As a Club, after many months of lobbying and negotiations, we are very disappointed, however we are committed to do everything we can to ensure some level of resurfacing takes place at some stage in 2024 to enable us to bring this awe inspiring event back in 2025.  We wish to take this opportunity to thank all our competitors, sponsors, landowners, volunteers and spectators for their continued support.
