Northwest 200

The North West 200 is a motorcycle race meeting held each May in Northern Ireland. The course, made up of public roads running between the towns of Portstewart, Coleraine and Portrush (the Triangle) is one of the fastest in the world, with speeds in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h). It is one of around fifteen events run on public roads between April and October throughout the island of Ireland. It is the largest annual sporting event in Ireland, with the race weekend attracting over 150,000 visitors from all over the world.

Originally intended to be held somewhere in the north west of Ireland and organised by the City of Derry & District Motor Club, the initial event was moved to the north coast but the name was never changed. Since 1964 the event has been organised by the Coleraine and District Motor Club.

The International North West 200 is Ireland’s largest outdoor sporting event, attracting crowds in excess of 150,000 as well as the biggest names in the sport including Michael Rutter, Steve Plater and John McGuinness. Taking place annually in May, the International North West 200 circuit runs between the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine – an area of outstanding natural beauty and home to the world famous Giant’s Causeway.

In 2011 there was only one race run at the NW200 due to weather conditions. Having said that HEL Performance had their normal run of great successes in the only race which was run, the Supersport Race 1, with all riders from 1st to 9th all using HEL Performance Brake Lines ::

Another awesome display from some of the amazing riders that use and put their trust in HEL Performance on some of the most demanding circuits in the world. HEL Performance - Always Number One.

The triangle circuit is one of the fastest in the world, and 2010's event has just seen Stuart Easton from Scotland smash the fastest speed record by reaching 204mph!
