I was looking to see if it was on the iPlayer and found this
How the North West Was Won

• 
  The history of the North West 200 motorcycle race from its beginnings in the 1920s to the present day. A wealth of archive pictures and film tell the story, and individual race stories of the North West are set in the social history of the time.

Is that motor mouthed nutter Guy Martin racing?

Yes, no sign of Maevis Davis though.

Went to pits after practice, but you couldn't get near him, The Boat that Guy Built program has made him famous.

As for the classic car show at pits, I am reliably informed, that a certain Opel driver will be making an appearance in a Ford Escort Mk11 Red RS2000. I'll try and get a pic to prove it.

All the best,

Martin

Superbike race about to start on the red button - cracking 600 race earlier

[Northern Bloke]

Scratch that, just been delayed until 13:00 due to a security alert in the paddock.

A real disaster of a day Security Alert in the paddock then Ryan Farquars Kawasaki blew up throwing oil all over the track from Portrush to Portstewart couldnt get it cleaned up properly then heavy rain, so the organizers cancalled the whole event after Guy Martin and the Clerk of the course said it was to dangerous.
