The NW200 recently announced a number of improvements for racing for 2016, these will include;

1. Race grids to be reduced in size, with less riders and machines starting in each wave.

2. Riders and machines will leave the grid for their sighting lap in larger groups than is currently the case.

3. When riders return to the grid following the sighting lap they will take up their race formation and the race will begin immediately; providing there has been no deterioration in weather conditions that would require tyre changes.  Media interviews will also be prohibited after the sighting lap.

4. To improve communication to the teams and riders on the grid, and to the spectators around the course, frequent and up to date announcements will be shared with everyone through BBC Radio Ulster’s live commentary team and via the on course PA system.

Pre-tuned BBC Radio Ulster earpiece radios will be available for purchase via the NW200 ticket office for 2016 to ensure that fans neither miss and of the commentary and all race information!

Race fans and spectators can also play their part in ensuring smooth running of the races by getting to their preferred viewing positions as early as possible prior to road closing. This greatly helps to get the roads closed on time. If crossing the circuit between races only do so at the designated points and with the direction of the race Marshals. Listen to the PA system for all racing updates and either purchase one of our pre-tuned radios or bring your own radio for full live commentary from BBC Radio Ulster.
