Another year, another NW200. Updates and some highlights videos can be found here: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/northern-ireland/18060739](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: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/nw200/watch/galleries.shtml?v=seeley\_course\_guide](http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/nw200/watch/galleries.shtml?v=seeley_course_guide) ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/NW200MAP.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/NW200MAP.jpg) Here is an onboard lap: [ame=“[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKc7epht9iQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKc7epht9iQ)”][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKc7epht9iQ[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKc7epht9iQ%5B/ame%5D) Another onboard lap: [ame=“[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bibjoepk8DQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bibjoepk8DQ)”][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bibjoepk8DQ[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bibjoepk8DQ%5B/ame%5D) ---
