UPDATE – Event Cancelled Due To Heavy Rain and Track Conditions. Yamaha bLUcRU Australian Flat Track Nationals This Weekend!
A record number of entrants is set to descend upon the Appin’s Skyline flat track circuit as the Yamaha bLUcRU Australian Flat Track Nationals season fires into life at the Macarthur Motorcycle Club complex in south-west Sydney (Brians Rd, Appin) this weekend…
With all key classes beyond capacity, riders are set to battle it out in qualifying to secure their positions on the grid of the season opener, before lining up for their four scheduled races through the day.
Series Organiser Dave Maddock: “We’ve seen consistent growth since we started the AFTN, and 2024 is no different with 113 riders set to race this weekend. We did anticipate the growth, and riders will have to qualify for the 90 places available to race on Saturday and again on Sunday for round two’s TT schedule, and while I’m really happy to see 42 riders searching for the 36 Pro 450 places, it’s really promising to see our two junior classes also well subscribed this year. I think it’s a sign that we’re heading in the right direction.”
With six rounds over three weekends, the Yamaha bLUcRU Aussie Flat Track Nationals is set to fire into life at the Macarthur Motorcycle Complex in Appin, NSW. Tickets for Adults and kids over 16 cost $20 and tickets for Kids aged 16 to 6 are just $10, while Kids under 6 get free entry. There are Family passes for Two Adults and Two Kids for $50.
