Another year, another NW200. Updates and some highlights videos can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/northern-ireland/18060739
The NW200 starts this weekend in Northern Ireland. The course is laid out over public roads totaling 9 miles. The fastest riders will complete a lap with a top speed of over 200mph and an average speed of over 120 mph. Unlike the TT, the NW200 is a race between multiple riders all sharing the same stretch of tarmac. First to cross the finish line wins :number1
Here’s a video of a racer’s description of the course:
