Armoy: Top Forty Fastest Racers

Armoy: Top Forty Fastest Racers

When looking back on the fastest lap times of last weekend’s Armoy Road Races, you can’t but not focus first on nine times successive ‘Race of Legends’ Champion Michael Dunlop.

Dunlop’s blistering new outright lap record of 1 minutes 41.256 seconds set during the Euro Autospares Open A race, equates in mph terms to just a shade under 107 mph, (106.945 mph).

Such was the turn of speed produced by the 19 times TT winner, that the second fastest racer from the meet Michael Sweeney (1.43.296) was over two seconds down on the pace from the ‘Man of the Meeting’.

None the less Dunlop Masters Superbike front runner Sweeney set a new PB lap time as did Derek McGee (1.43.474 / 104.652 mph) and ‘Race of Legends’ second place finisher Davey Todd (1.44.485 / 103.640 mph).

Others to record sub 1 minute 45 second lap times were Open race runner-up Derek Sheils (1.43.505) and rapid Armoy newcomer Phil Crowe (1.44.340).

11 racers lapped under 1 minute 50 seconds whilst all of the top forty quickest racers registered lap times below the 1:57 barrier.

The overall top 40 speediest Armoy exponents of 2021 are as follows:
