Vauxhall continues support of North West 200

Automotive manufacturer Vauxhall has agreed to stay on as the title sponsor of the North West 200 motorcycling event in Northern Ireland for the sixth consecutive year.

Vauxhall has served as the title sponsor since 2013 and will now retain the role for the 2018 event.

Next year’s North West 200 race week will take place from May 13-19 and mark the 90th anniversary of the event.

Mervyn Whyte, event director for the North West 200, said: “The support we receive from Vauxhall is vital in running an international event which attracts the best road racers in the world each year.”
