2022 Manx GP : New Details Confirmed

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.

Oliver’s Mount 2021 Gold Cup Cancelled

Oliver’s Mount 2021 Gold Cup Cancelled

Oliver’s Mount 2021 Gold Cup Cancelled :

Despite ongoing efforts to run this year’s Gold Cup, Oliver’s Mount have announced that this years Gold Cup will not go ahead. The Health and Safety issues around refurb needed at the Paddock could simply not be completed on time.

The most worrying aspect of this press release however comes from paragraph 3 :

We are totally committed to the future of Olivers Mount, but we now need to take stock of where this leaves Oliver’s Mount due to the financial hardship the last 2 seasons many cancellations have created.

Oliver’s Mount : 16th August 2021 : 16:45

I wish all the best to Oliver’s Mount at this very difficult time, and keep my fingers crossed that a resolution can be found. Road Racing has taken an absolute battering over the last two years and no Oliver’s Mount would mean no road racing at all in England. Sad and worrying times.

MCUI(UC) Suspends the Start of the 2021 Season:

by
Motorcycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre)
Motorcycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre)

The MCUI(UC) have issued a Press Release detailing the suspension to the start of the 2021 Calendar.

Motorcycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre) Ltd 

Press Release

Date 21/01/21

The Directors and Management of the Motorcycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre) Ltd have taken the unfortunate but unavoidable decision to suspend the start of the 2021 Sporting Event Calendar.

Due to the current fluid situation with Covid 19 restrictions combined with pressure on our NHS, we believe this is the only responsible decision we can make at this time. We will review the situation as and when Government restriction is eased. Currently we are taking all guidance, advice from The Northern Ireland Executive, Minster of Health, Department of Communities and SportNI.

Earlier this week two of our flagship’s events were cancelled due to the pandemic, Tandragee 100 and the NW200. The Cookstown 100 are planning on running again in September as they managed to do in 2020. Armoy Road Race club are still hopeful of running on their end of July date.

Our first tarmac event is now planned for 5th June at Kirkistown, the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship (USBK) and with several more rounds planned between June & October.

The Trials section had already planned to run into the summer months and will release more details in due course.

2020 was almost a wipe out of all our events with only one Road Race and one short circuit managing to run between the restriction and only with authority from Government departments. This announcement will be very disappointing for our Licence holders, Clubs, and supporters, but we must do what is best to keep everyone in the communities safe.

END.

MCUI(UC) Press Release – 24th July 2020

MCUI UC MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE STATEMENT UPDATE ON COVID 19 RESUMPTION OF MCUI UC COMPETITION 23rd JULY 2020 

Basically we can go racing again!

The Directors of the MCUI UC (the Management Committee) wish to update all our licence holders, clubs and members of the current situation regarding a return to competition as the NI Executive are easing restrictions on an increasingly frequent basis.

We have received permission from the Department for Communities and Sport NI to resume competitive motorcycle racing again, including spectators (as long as they can be controlled).

This is extremely welcome news. However, it is vitally important that everyone complies with the social distancing and hygiene measures outlined in our guidance document (click here) and track and trace protocols.

Event promoters will be required to complete an event specific COVID 19 Risk Assessment that outlines the measures they will put in place to respond to these exceptional circumstances.

The MCUI UC would like to thank everyone at SportNI, Department for Communities and NI Sports Forum for their assistance during this emergency.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding in these extraordinary times, we are making progress together, but remember please, stay safe.
