The action returns to Gympie after a successful round in 2017, which saw the riders enjoy the Queensland conditions and rank the track highly. Josh Brierley echoed the riders thoughts; “The track was really good, It’s a really fun track with lots of jumps and tight bush sections,” said Brierley.

2018 will see last season’s E2 Champion, Daniel Milner move into the E3 class and try complete the elusive triple crown (E1, E2, E3 Championships), while his team-mate and last season’s E3 Champion, Lyndon Snodgrass will move into the E2 class.
