Following last week’s record breaking action at the FonaCAB Ulster Grand Prix, it’s a good time to look at the updated order of the 30 fastest competitors around the iconic, illustrious, historical, fabled, unique road race circuit that is Dundrod.
33 racers have now set lap speeds in excess of the 130 mph lap mark, including new Dundrod 130 Mph Club members Michael Sweeney (130.650) and Phil Crowe (130.143).
Just six racers have topped the 134 mph lap mark, including of course new outright lap record, modern day world’s fastest road racer Peter Hickman (136.415).
The five remaining racers to lap over the 134 mph mark are Dean Harrison (134.614), the late but great Dan Kneen (134.541), Bruce Anstey (134.396), Conor Cummins (134.183) and Ian Hutchinson (134.089).
