SBK, All motorcycle road racing in Northern Ireland cancelled for 2023

After an emergency meeting of the Ulster Centre of the Motorcycle Union of Ireland, the organising clubs deemed it impossible to run events because of soaring insurance charges BBC news writes.

Quoted costs for public liability insurance for 2023 have tripled to an amount over £400,000. Cancelled events include the North West 200. Other cancelled events include the Cookstown 100, Tandragee 100, Armoy Race of Legends, Ulster Grand Prix, and Sunflower trophy at Bishopscourt.
