History

Run since 1929 on the roads of the Causeway Coast, the North West 200 is a cornerstone of international road racing and, alongside the Isle of Man TT and the old Ulster Grand Prix, one of the sport's crown jewels. The Triangle's long, fast straights make it the quickest of the lot. It carries a fierce local following and a history entwined with the Dunlop dynasty — Robert, Joey and latterly Michael — whose triumphs and tragedies are woven into the event's identity and the coast that hosts it.
