York Corner
This is York corner, a very sharp hairpin bend coming from left to right. It is the slowest section on the famous North West 200 motorcycle course. Preparations are already under way for this year's race, notice the temporary "keep left" signs and flags on the lamp posts (although orange in colour they have no political significance and are the advertising sign of the main sponsor).

York Corner
A very sharp left turn and the slowest corner on the circuit, York has caused many problems. Riders are torn between going slow enough to negotiate the bend and fast enough to out-pace their rivals.

For whom the red flag flies......
Positioned at corners and other strategic points you will find a flag marshal. If there is a major incident and it is necessary to "stop the field" he will raise a red flag. Each marshal is within view of his comrade and he too will raise a flag in turn. There has been a fatal accident some 4 miles down the road and the marshal in the picture is raising his flag.

Number 4, Hutchinson leads the field into York Corner at Portstewart
This is the first major corner on this 8.9 mile circuit which is the Northwest 200. It is the Superbike category and there's drama all the way. These guys will average the course at around 120 mph plus and some will tear down the Portrush straight at 208 mph.

Fate is the Hunter
Martin Jessop astride Number 40 leads the pack into York Corner on the first lap of the Supertwin race of the Northwest 200 of 2016. It was during lap three of this race that a young rider paid the ultimate price and the meeting was subsequently ended. Northern Ireland is the forerunner in the world of motorcycle road racing and with the progress of engineering as it is, it is little wonder that questions are being asked as to what speeds motor cycle road racers will be permitted to have access to in the future. During this meeting, Michael Dunlop recorded a speed of just over 210 MPH.
