Motorcycling Australia’s CEO David Cottee, has today shared his excitement in being able to reward the fastest riders in the country with round by round prize money.

“It is great to deliver the level of prize money which is on offer for this year’s Australian Superbike Championship,” he said.

“The ASBK aims to attract the best racers in our country, from factory riders to privateers, so it’s great to be able to see riders finishing all the way back to tenth in the Superbike, and Supersport classes, going home pocketing prize money.

“Our goal is to keep growing and developing the ASBK series, and the prize pool is an integral part of the growth of the championship, so it’s fantastic to see these types of funds on offer for 2016.”

The ASBK Superbike class will boast an impressive $3,150 up for grabs per round of the championship, with round winners set to collect $1,200, second place pocketing $700, and third position taking home $400.

The Supersport category round winner will once again take home a healthy $1000 per round, while second place will secure $600, and third will walk away with $300.

Moto3/125GP winners will take home $500 per round, while the victors of the Up to 300 Production, Over 300 Production, and Women’s Production classes will all take home $300 respectively.
