Changes to the North West 200

Following the committee’s decision to withdraw the 250cc Race from this year’s G-spot, the new format is 600 Supersport Race 1, Superbike Race 1, 125cc Race, Superstock Race, North West 200 Superbike Race and 600 Supersport Race 2. Apart from the 125cc race, all races will run under the FIM technical rules.

An additional 1,500 grandstand seats will be added to this year’s event bringing the total to 6,000 approx. The grandstand at the start line will be extended with 800 seats, Juniper grandstand with an extra 400 seats and 300 seats will be added to the paddock area grandstand.

In partnership with DCAL, Coleraine Borough Council and NITB, a new organisational structure has been introduced for the North West 200. Co-ordinated by Race Director Mervyn Whyte, the structure now consists of seven managers, each responsible for various aspects of the event. Mervyn Whyte will have overall responsibility for the running of the event.
Media partner

BBC Northern Ireland continues as the official media partner for this year’s event. Once again, the BBC will give extensive coverage to the North West 200 across all three platforms; on-line, television and radio.

Shane Glynn, Editor Sport, BBC Northern Ireland said: “This is the first year of our new five year contract to cover the North West 200. We’ve established a very strong, collaborative working relationship with Mervyn Whyte and his team from the Coleraine club, and we’ll be using that to help us build on the success of our output up to now, and to provide bike fans with the best possible coverage of the North West, online, and on TV and radio.”

Mervyn Whyte said, “It is a pleasure working with BBC Northern Ireland and the whole team should be congratulated on the outstanding on-line, TV and radio coverage that they give to the North West 200. We very much look forward to working with Mike Edgar, Shane Glynn and the team in the coming months and years.”
