Dunlop dominated the two-lap race, leading from start to finish and finishing 47.1 seconds ahead of Ian Lougher.
The victory was especially poignant for Dunlop, who expressed gratitude to his sponsors and team for their support in bringing the bike to victory.
With this win, Dunlop fulfilled a personal goal of winning a 250 race at the Isle of Man TT, adding to his prior success in the 125cc category.
