British Superbike Championship: Philip Neill says Northern Ireland round 'has to happen'

Philip Neill, dueño del equipo TAS Racing, says a British Superbike Championship round in Northern Ireland “absolutely has to happen,” arguing it’s only a matter of timing. The series has visited the island of Ireland only previously at County Kildare’s Mondello Park between 2003 and 2007. Speaking on the BBC Bikes podcast, Neill said Northern Ireland has the passion, commercial appetite, fan base, and heritage already in place for a “phenomenal” stop on the BSB calendar. Neill framed it as inevitability—“It’s not if, it’s when”—and said series director Stuart Higgs and Motorsport Vision CEO Jonathan Palmer understand what is available and that “it will happen.”
