Then on Saturday we have a bumper schedule of five races including the two blue riband Superbike contests.
But where are the best vantage points to watch all the action?
Here are some suggestions...
Start & Finish Line
For a hive of activity and excitement you can view from the start/finish of the race.
Take a walk around the paddock, have a seat in one of the adjacent grandstands or purchase a hospitality ticket and watch all the action from the corporate balcony: the perfect location to see the riders prepare for, start and finish the race.
York Corner
York Corner is an all action overtaking point and superb on the first lap as riders jostle for position.
Enjoy a seat from the comfort of the grandstand which is ideally located to see the riders ‘pop the front wheel’ over the crest on the exit of Primrose then it’s hard on the brakes for the clutch destroying left hand uphill hairpin at York, before accelerating hard towards the Mill Road Roundabout.
Mill Road Roundabout
Slow roundabout which is taken anti-clockwise. Riders then build up to speeds of 140mph on approach to Station Corner.
Station Corner
Viewing from this vantage point is worth considering as this is probably the fastest corner on the course, but not for the fainthearted. Just ask any of the riders!
Black Bridge
Between Station Corner and University you can view the race as the riders ride a flat-out crest where the Superbike machines fight to keep the front end down as they nick top gear on the run to University.
Speed Trap
For those who love the thrill of the speed! This is the point where the Superbike machines flash past at over 200mph.
As the bikes whiz past it is difficult to mark your programme, so not the best location if you wish to keep your records up to date!
University Corner
You will have excellent views from either the inside or outside of this corner. Great place to watch the riders arrive from the fastest part of the course and time the braking just right (or not!) coming from the Speed Trap area towards this sharp corner.
Metropole Corner
Metropole embankment features a grandstand with great views of the fast left hand sweeper on the approach to Church Corner.
Church Corner
Church Corner is a tight right hand bend using only half the normal road width and viewing on the left hand side approach is excellent, although our advice is to get there early and book your spot.
For the full list of all the places you can get a great view of the action from, check out the North West 200 website.
