Organisers of the Ulster Grand Prix have announced that the 2024 races will not take place.
One of the contributing factors is the motorcycle sports “ongoing insurance issues”.
Last year, all motorcycle racing in Northern Ireland was was cancelled last year including the North West 200 due to similar problems.
Although the North West 200 did manage to reverse the cancellation and gather funding for insurance which enabled the event to run.

In a statement on social media, the organisers said:
“It is with regret that the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club must announce the Ulster Grand Prix will not take place during 2024.
“Despite recent positive negotiations with stakeholders of the event, the club has been left with no choice but to take this course of action given motorcycle sport’s ongoing insurance issues and a lack of sufficient time to find a solution to these challenges.
“The DDMC remains committed to reviving the Ulster Grand Prix and will continue to work towards achieving that goal.”

The North West 200 is due to return in 2024, with the event to be held from May 6 to May 11.
The 2024 TT will kickstart on May 27, running through to June 8.
