Due to rising insurance costs, the Motorcycle Union of Ireland has declared that all road racing and short circuit racing has been cancelled. Full story:
Rising insurance costs have been an issue across all of Ireland in recent years, but have mainly affected the smaller road racing events.
Road racing has survived over 100 years in Northern Ireland, but funding issues have become more prominent, with the Ulster Grand Prix the most notable race to have been affected since a poorly-attended 2019 event. The MCUI says it will continue to seek public liability insurance this year and will continue to issue licenses to competitors so that they can compete in other events.This will come as a blow to competitors of the Isle of Man TT, who have traditionally used the North West 200 as a warm-up to the TT.
