2020 Road Race Schedule – How It’s Presently Shaping Up

As we edge closer to the new year, it’s a good time to see how the road race calendar for 2020 is shaping up.

The first roads meeting worldwide for the start of the next decade, is anticipated to take place in New Zealand, the one day Invercargill Street Races (9th February).

UK wise, the first event of the 2020’s is at England’s only closed roads course, Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough, with the revived Spring Cup meet taking place from the 18th-19th of April.

Irish roads action begins at Cookstown (24th-25th April) whilst the opening International road race is once again the North West 200 (10th-16th May).

TT 2020 takes centre stage in June, whilst up to 10 prominent, prestigious events are all July based including Skerries, the Southern 100, Faugheen 50 and Armoy.

With the Ulster Grand Prix, unfortunately anticipated to be absent from the 2020 calendar, various top level International road racer’s prime attentions for August will be focused upon the Mountain Course based Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix events, which both get underway on the 22nd of August.
