The Grand Prix is under way at Dundrod and the weather is not in the riders’ favour. That doesn’t stop them getting some speed and the spectators bravely look on. 

The Ulster Grand Prix is a motorcycle race that takes place on the 7.3-mile Dundrod Circuit made up entirely of closed-off public roads near Belfast, Northern Ireland. The first races took place in 1922 and in 1935 and 1948 the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme gave it the title Grand Prix d'Europe.
