Dunlop is representing Team LRP Poland alongside teammates Danny Webb, Enzo Boulom and Marek Szkopek.
They are campaigning in the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours on a BMW M1000RR.
Last year, Dunlop was 16th overall at the same race representing the French TR27 team on a Honda Fireblade.
Now on BMW machinery, this race represents the start of a run of important occasions for Dunlop.
His road racing season will begin with the North West 200, then take him to the Isle of Man TT.
Dunlop won for the 29th time at the TT last year, finally breaking his uncle Joey’s record.
He will be back for more this year, after the riders’ seeding and machinery were revealed.
