The Ulster Grand Prix could return next year to mark its centenary.

The event, known as the world's fastest road race, was postponed this year and in 2020. - due to a combination of covid and financial problems.

Organisers of the spectacle, the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club, have been working to resolve the financial difficulties suffered during that season.

In a statement, organisers said: "The effect of Coronavirus and the restrictions aimed at controlling the pandemic have hindered the process but significant progress has now been made with the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club Limited entering a Company Voluntary Arrangement with its creditors. "

It went on to "thank everyone involved for their understanding of the circumstances that led to the event’s unprecedented financial difficulties and their co-operation in helping resolve this difficult situation. "

The statement added: "Despite these setbacks, the Dundrod club remains committed to resurrecting the event. Conversations have already taken place with public and commercial groups who share a similar aim and more discussions are planned.

"This work will continue throughout the coming months in the hope of celebrating the centenary of the world‘s fastest road race with a return to action at Dundrod in 2022. "
