Northwest 200 2027 event description
We had 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!
Our inaugural event in 2026 did not disappoint! We met many of the stars - indeed one of the former stars, Scottish veteran Keith Amor, was actually a guide on the tour and introduced us to many teams, riders and his corner-by-corner narration of the track on our slow lap!
We have 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!
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!
