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 an average speed of over 200 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:
