Racing resumes at the 2018 Vauxhall International North West 200 today with an action-packed six race schedule set to get away from around 10:15am.

The sun is shining on the 8.9 mile circuit with conditions set to remain pleasant throughout the day with five races on the schedule. Roads close at 09.15 and don’t have to re-open until 19.00, with the option to extend until 21.00.

Glenn Irwin will start on pole position for the day’s two Superbike races, with the first encounter set to get underway second on the schedule before the feature race brings a close to proceedings later on.

After clinching his 22nd North West victory in Thursday’s opening Supersport race, Alastair Seeley will be looking to further extend his winning run in the Supersport class, while Peter Hickman won Thursday’s Superstock race and Martin Jessopp took the victory in the twins.
