The top 30 fastest road racers in the world – ever!

The top 30 fastest road racers in the world – ever!

Peter Hickman set a scorching new world road racing lap record in excess of 136mph at the 2019 Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod.

Riding the Smiths Racing BMW S1000RR, the 32-year-old re-established the 7.4-mile course as the fastest road race in the world after lapping at 136.415mph on his way to victory in the Thursday Superbike race.

It was the first 136mph average lap speed of any pure road racing course and the represents another historic feat for Hickman’s, with the English star also becoming the first rider to crack the 135mph bracket when he won the Senior race at the Isle of Man TT in 2018.

This year’s TT and Ulster Grand Prix were hit by inclement weather throughout practice and racing, which makes Hickman’s incredible new benchmark all the more impressive given the lack of dry track time.

Few riders improved on their previous best laps this year, although Fermanagh’s Lee Johnston managed to increase his fastest ever lap, clocking a speed of 133.272mph at Dundrod in August.

Following the 2019 international road races, the updated list of the top 30 fastest road racers in the world is as follows:
