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.

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.

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

2022 Ulster Grand Prix : New Club Looks to Save UGP

November 8, 2021 by TomBoyNI

2022 Ulster Grand Prix to Go Ahead :

2022 Ulster Grand Prix is Scheduled to run on 16th – 20th August 2022

Things have taken a positive turn for the Ulster Grand Prix today.

It has become public knowledge that Mervyn White (former North West 200 Event Director) will take the helm of the struggling Ulster Grand Prix.

The event last ran in 2019 and it was disclosed that the Club and Event had been crippled by huge debt.

Then came Covid and the Ulster Grand Prix was cancelled in 2020, like every other event. (except for Cookstown who through some great planning managed to run a September 2019 event). Covid cancellations maybe even saved a bit of face for the UGP as it was now able to be declared as cancelled due to the pandemic. Covid also managed to ruin the 2021 race season, save the Cookstown 100, along side Armoy who were both lucky enough to get events on the Calendar.

So, as almost in a strange and positive twist of fate the UGP wouldn’t have ran in 2020 or 2020 anyway and that pause has given time for plans to be made and measures to be put in place to attempt to save the historic event and club.

On another positive note, the 2022 Ulster Grand Prix will also mark the event’s Centenary.

RACE 1 : SP-R SINGLES RACES
