Se si propone un bel confronto tra Farquhar e Dunlop anche per la graduatoria del Duke Road Race Rankings, all'Oliver's Mount non mancheranno volti noti come William Dunlop (attesissimo nelle classi "Lightweight"), Chris Palmer ed una leggenda come Ian Lougher, vincitore alla "Spring Cup" nel 2006 su Honda, al via con le Kawasaki del proprio team ILR Kawasaki (Ian Lougher Racing). Se Farquhar e Lougher risultano nell'albo d'oro dell'evento, la famiglia Dunlop non vince addirittura dal 1984 con Joey: una ragione d'interesse in più per la "Ian Watson Spring Cup" 2012, l'evento ideale per aprire la stagione delle corse su strada.
