belfastguzzi Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ulster Grand Prix programme on BBC1NI now. Should be good. Possibly catch it again on iPlayer. John McGuinness has been lap record holder at 131.7 Ryan Farquhar has been on great winning form. 53 wins this year so far. Very close now to Joey Dunlop's record of 119 win: just a few behind. William Dunlop going good too at the Ulster. First race at the mo. Ian Huthinson and Farquhar battling it out. Anstey and Amor behind. Hutchinson has just done it by 3 tenths. Farquhar Superbike lap at over 132mph in earlier Dundrod 150. Topping 170 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I thought the North West 200 was fastest? Is this the same course as the North West 200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I thought the North West 200 was fastest? Is this the same course as the North West 200? No it's different course. It's always referred to as 'fastest' because the UGP has fastest average speed of 130mph+ around the lap while the NW200, with longer straighter roads, reaches highest speed, with the superbikes cracking 200mph+ UGP/Dundrod goes 170 - 180mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
