2022 North West 200 Schedule :

The road closure times and race schedule for the 2022 North West 200 have been announced.

Remember road closures will happen at these times sharply – and if you miss them, you miss them. When the road closure happens the road legally becomes a race circuit. You will not have the right to travel on it, or use as usual. So be on time to save any disappointment.

The race times are approximate. Racing is fluid, incidents and delays happen and in road racing are very likely, so don’t base anything on the race times being accurate, but they will give you an approximate idea of how things will ideally run.

All of this information is also available on the TBNI.Blog Road Racing Calendar.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR 2022 ROAD CLOSING

The Road Races (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 has now been approved by the Northern Ireland Assembly and received Royal Assent.  The changes to the road closing legislation now give the organisers of the International North West 200, in exceptional circumstances, the ability to move a practice or race day, either one day forward or one day back, giving 24 hours notice to the Department for Infrastructure.

Should extreme weather be forecast, the 2022 contingency days could be:  Wednesday 11^th May and Friday 13^th May 2022.

In lieu of using one of the above full contingency days, organisers may also extend the road closing times on Tuesday 10^th and Saturday 14^th May 2022 as follows:

	Existing Road Closing	Contingency
Tuesday	9.15am – 3.15pm	5.00pm – 9.00pm
Saturday	9.15am – 7.00pm	7.00pm – 9.00pm

---

Any subsequent amendment to the race week schedule will be advised to the public via the International North West 200 website, BBC NI TV & Radio and the NW200 Facebook and Twitter feed.

All those who could be affected are reminded that any variation in race or practice schedule will only happen due to extreme weather conditions.  Ticket holders and those attending all race week events are advised to keep up to date with any changes announced.
