Superbike Australia

Philip Island, the self-styled home of Australien motor sport, is steeped in motor racing tradition, with the first car races having been held there on public roads in the 1920s. The first motorcycle races took place in 1931 and a permanent track was built in 1956. The circuit fell into disrepair during late 70s and early 80s until it was bought in 1985 and given an AUS$ 5m facelift. The Philip Island circuit is blessed with breathtaking scenery and beautiful ocean views and, as one of the fastest, most fluid, tracks on the calendar, it continues to provide some of the most spectacular racing in the Superbike season.
