    I would have thought everyone on the motorsport forum would know it well??
    Great sport for spectators, very brave men to do it.

    NW200 is the largest attended sporting event in Ireland with 150,000 plus spectators.

    If you have never been to a Road Race, do it this year. You will not be disappointed. Bikes doing up to 200mph 3 or 4 foot away from you, words can't describe it.

    Well you must try your best to attend one, its really incredible.
    Take a look at this video,



    You'll never see anything like it as you stand in the ditch :)

    There are a few around the country. The NW200, Skerries and Walderstown is what I can think of.
