With only 16 weeks until there will be bikes on the grid at Orritor, on the 26th & 27th of April 2024, the Cookstown Club are in full organising mode even over the festive period!!
With the sport in a hard place at the moment, the commitment of spectators, fans and competitors attending is essential in 2024 should we all want our sport to come through this tough period and have future years ahead.
With this in mind, the Cookstown Club are opening our online booking system today for spectators to book their packages for the 2024 Cookstown 100 Road Race.
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.
The North West 200 have announced via a press release that they have secured a new title sponsor for the 2024 event and beyond in a three year deal with Briggs Equipment.
Coleraine and District Motor Club is delighted to welcome Briggs Equipment on board as our new title sponsor for the 2024 North West 200.
Briggs Equipment has enjoyed previous involvement with the event as a team and race sponsor. The announcement of this new three-year title agreement provides a major boost for the iconic north coast festival of racing.
“It feels great to confirm that the Briggs North West 200 will bring the best road racing in the world to the Triangle circuit in May next year,” Briggs Equipment Ireland Managing Director, Gary Clements, said.

Richard Cooper’s 2022 NW200 Supertwin Wins Reinstated :
Richard Cooper crossed the finish line first in both of the 2022 North West 200 Supertwin Races. He was riding the JMC Roofing Kawasaki machine which had been prepared by Ryan Farquhar. A infringement was found following the first race, which related to a bracket on the fairings of the machine. An appeal was immediately lodged and Cooper was allowed to enter the second race under appeal. The result of this infringement was then ruled to be disqualification from both races. The appeal process was already in action, as was the controversy.
The Appeal was finally upheld on 1st November 2023.
A statement from the MCUI(UC) concluded the following :
Due to a clash with the 2024 BSB Calendar and a Bank Holiday Monday overlap with the 2024 North West 200 the Organisers have announced (via a Social Media post) a change to the upcoming Qualifying Schedule.
The organisers of the 2024 North West 200 will introduce significant changes to the qualifying schedule at this year’s event.
With many of the teams and riders that compete in the NW200 scheduled to race at the Oulton Park British Superbike championship meeting on Saturday-Monday, May 4-6 their arrival in Northern Ireland will be delayed until Tuesday, May 7.
As a result, and after consultation with BSB bosses, the North West 200 organisers will delay the start of this year’s practice and qualifying sessions until Wednesday, May 8.
There will also be a major rejig to the qualifying order at this year’s north coast event.
On Wednesday the traditional opening Newcomer session will now be followed by a one hour long Superbike qualifying session. On Thursday, the Superbikes will be the first machines on track.
Paul Jordan started with Prez Racing 2021 have previously ridden with Burrows / RK Racing.
2022 brought the Jordan / Prez pairing a podium in the Supertwin class at the North West 200 and a third place podium finish in the TT Supertwin Race.
In 2023, Paul Jordan placed on the podium at the North West 200, finishing second in Supertwin race 1.
The spilt from Prez was announced in a Facebook Post.
“Sorry for the lack of post over the past few months.
Just been taking a time out and trying to put plans in place for 2024.
Unfortunately for myself and prez racing we won’t be going into 2024 together which is a shame, firstly I want to thank prez racing for everything over past few years, for what’s we achieved was amazing so I can’t thank them enough. For the mechanics that have a helped and put endless hours of effort in for me I will be forever grateful, so thank you for everything once again.
For my sponsors that has stood by me this year thank you again without you I couldn’t live my childhood dreams.
2024 is not in pending and I hope to have something in place very soon which can only bring nothing but excitement and drive back in to me to keep improving and make that next step.
Hope everyone is doing well and I’ll see you all soon”
