Ulster Grand Prix - William Dunlop
I was going through some old shots a few days ago and came across the ones from our visit to the Ulster Grand Prix in 2017.
Earlier in the year, we attended the North West 200 also in Northern Ireland and had such a great time, decided to go back over for the UGP.
It is a long convoluted tale as to why I went to the NW200 but basically it involved William Dunlop.
At the Ulster, William had exceeded 200 mph at one point - on what is basically a country road. In the comments box I've posted a shot of the pit board marking the occasion and a shot of one part of the real road racing 'circuit' - basically public roads that are closed off for the event.
Less than twelve months after I took the shot, William tragically lost his life in a racing accident.
