Tickets are available at the Ticketek website and you can still grab a three day pass for $155 plus Ticketek service & handling fees, while individual day tickets are also available, with the event supported by Round 1 of the Motul Pirelli Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK), making for a great weekend of racing.

The world’s top teams have now landed in Australia, defrosting from a northern hemisphere winter, and ready for a red-hot competition, following Alvaro Bautista showing everyone who’s boss in the official test.

The 32nd year of competition in the world’s major production-based series launches tomorrow and promises to deliver more excitement and bang-for-the-buck entertainment than ever before.

There’s new bikes, increased manufacturer support and a third WorldSBK race slotted into the programme – a 10-lap sprint on Sunday, which will sit between the traditional 22-lap races.
