Northwest 200 2026 event description
We have been planning this one for years! Following our 'recon' mission here in 2025 where we were welcomed with open arms by the organisers, we have been salivating over our return to this iconic event. The Northwest 200 combines the thrill of racers hitting real roads at insane speeds while trading paint on the mass starts and corners!
We have decided to put together the ultimate NW200 experience! First, we are basing our tour in one of the top hotels in the region in the heart of lovely Portrush; just 9 minute drive to the paddock. We welcome you Wednesday with your gift pack, opening drinks and dinner.
If we can tear you away from the town's great pubs and restaurants -- not to mention the seaside! -- Thursday we will take you to a course side location where you will see the bikes riding at insane speeds along these ordinary roads, with little but blades of grass between you! The opening races Thursday will be enjoyed from a course-side pub/restaurant.
Friday we have teamed up with a veteran racer to give us a private tour of the circuit and paddock. Optionally you can join us in the afternoon and evening for a trip to the famous Giant's Causeway and the sublime Bushmills distillery.
Saturday we are at the exciting VIP Pavilion for a day of racing, food, and special guests. There is a pay bar, and we will be putting a few bottles on the table to get you started! You can upgrade to a full "Platinum" VIP which adds access to the paddock, garages, grid tour and a hot lap in the course car on the closed roads!
We stay for the exciting charity auction and catch up with some of our friends and riders from the week.
Sadly it is all over Sunday - we can take you back to Belfast airport (and indeed we can collect you from there on your arrival) or stay an extra day and enjoy the delights of County Antrim!
