Additional information for 2027 Road Closing
The Road Races (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 has now been approved by the Northern Ireland Assembly and received Royal Assent. The changes to the road closing legislation now give the organisers of the North West 200, in exceptional circumstances, the ability to move a practice or race day, either one day forward or one day back, giving 24 hours notice to the Department for Infrastructure.
Should extreme weather be forecast, the 2027 contingency day will be: Friday 14th May 2027
| Existing Road Closing | Contingency | |
Tuesday | 9.00am - 3.15pm | 6.00pm - 9.00pm |
Any subsequent amendment to the race week schedule will be advised to the public via the North West 200 website, BBC NI TV & Radio and the NW200 WhatsApp Channel, Facebook and Twitter feed.
All those who could be affected are reminded that any variation in race or practice schedule will only happen due to extreme weather conditions. Ticket holders and those attending all race week events are advised to keep up to date with any changes announced.
