Word Superbike tickets Australia at Philip Island Circuit

The Phillip Island Circuit is a race venue with a turbulent history. The first race held here was back in 1928. Riders used the local airfield to test the limits of their bikes and to test their own skills. The bumpy site was covered with dust and all sizes of flying stones, making the track extremely dangerous.

Thanks to technical innovations bikes were getting much better and faster over the years, which made it even more risky to join. For this reason the Phillip Island government and the international racing bodies implemented new legislation, forcing Phillip Island Circuit to take some safety precautions. Subsequently, the track was replaced and the corners were flattened. Despite this, the 1962 Armstrong 500 managed to cause serious damage to the track. The owners were unable to fund the required repairments.

In the time laps between 1966 and 1989, Phillip Island had a bumpy ride itself: it was redeveloped, reopened, damaged again and closed down again. In 1985 a private investment corporation promised to renovate the track. Finally, they finished their job in 1989 with the reopening of the facelifted venue. Only one year later more good news from the Island followed with the announcement of plans for hosting the first World Superbike of Australia. Matthew Close was the first rider who won the Australian World Superbike race.

Good for you to know is that the race track of Phillip Island is located within a beautiful amphitheatre which guarantees great views. Apart from spectacular racing inside a visit to the Yamaha Phillip Island Round also promises the joy of spectacular circuit surroundings.
