The car giant has agreed a third term as title sponsor for the race festival.

Carrick rider Alastair Seeley, who is now just three victories away from Robert Dunlop’s all-time record of 15 NW 200 wins, welcomed the news.

“To have a big company like Vauxhall support road racing is great and hopefully it will encourage other businesses to get involved. This can only be good for the sport.” he said.
