The organisers of the Ulster Grand Prix, Dundrod & District Motorcycle Club, have finally announced that this year’s race meeting will not take place.
Ironically, it is not directly because of the current coronavirus outbreak.
The announcement, released on Facebook yesterday, reads: ’Despite numerous meetings in recent months with councillors, MLAs, MPs and Ministers and other interested parties, we have been unable to find the necessary financial support to run the meeting this year.
’The unprecedented crisis surrounding the coronavirus pandemic has made finding a solution at this stage impossible.’

Ongoing financial difficulties are thought to be the main underlying issue.
The meeting was scheduled to take place between August 5-8.
At this moment in time the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT are still scheduled to run between August 23 and September 4.
