North West 200 set for May 2022 return

Ireland’s premier road race will return to action in May 2022 after a two-year, covid-enforced absence.

The North West 200 will be back on May 8-14 as fonaCAB and Nicholl Oils renew title sponsorship.

“Although the pandemic stopped the race action over the past two seasons, the management team of Coleraine and District Motor Club have been working hard to ensure the structures and support that underpin the North West 200 have remained in place for the day when we would be able make this announcement,” Club Chairman, Stanleigh Murray, said.

The world’s leading road racers will renew their acquaintance with the famous 8.9 mile Triangle road circuit that links the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine after an absence caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

It will also be the first international road race to take place since action at all the world’s leading events came to an abrupt halt in March 2020.
