Thursday morning's Ulster Grand Prix practice session was held up after an angry local resident parked her car close to the course in a protest.

The woman left her vehicle on her own property close to the Budore section of the Dundrod circuit in a dispute with race officials.

The Dundrod 150 road races were held as scheduled later on Thursday with a number of extra safety measures.

Hay bales were put around the vehicle and yellow flags used to warn riders.
