Sport Northern Ireland and the Irish Sports Council have been working with the Motorcycle Union of Ireland (MCUI) since spring 2011 to assist that organisation to develop their Code or Practice with regard to safety arrangements at motorcycle road racing events.

This is a complex task and has involved significant research and information gathering processes, both at events and in speaking to various interest groups. The subject matter has been divided into a number of sections relating to various aspects of motorcycle road racing.
