Dundrod Circuit (Ulster Grand Prix), Racing Circuit

The Dundrod Circuit is a 7.4-mile (11.9 km) road-racing course laid out on closed public roads in the hills near the village of Dundrod, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland. It is best known as the home of the Ulster Grand Prix, a motorcycle race that began in 1922 and moved to Dundrod in 1953 after years at the nearby Clady Circuit. The undulating, hedge-lined layout earned a reputation as one of the fastest closed-road tracks anywhere, with riders sustaining lap averages well above 130 mph; Peter Hickman's outright record of 136.4 mph, set in 2019, edged past the Isle of Man TT mark and underpinned the event's billing as the world's fastest road race. The course is famous for daunting features such as the high-speed Flying Kilometre and the cresting jump at Deer's Leap, where machines lift over the brow at full chat. The circuit also hosted car racing in the early 1950s before switching to motorcycles only. The Ulster Grand Prix has not run since 2019, cancelled every year thereafter amid debts, insurance and funding problems, with organisers targeting a return in 2027.
