By Since the mid 2000’s we’ve seen the gradual phasing out of 125, 250, 400 competition at International roads events.
One event though has continued to run two stroke, 400 machinery races, the world’s fastest road race the Ulster Grand Prix.
Per class the top ten quickest racer’s at Dundrod throughout the past ten years, is as follows:
125/Moto 3: (Racers fastest lap speed located near name)
Christian Elkin (111.343 – 125/Moto 3 lap record), Paul Robinson (111.086), Joe Thompson (110.510), twice class victor Michal Dokoupil (110.005), Adam McLean (109.465).
