Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix
Phillip Island, the self-styled home of Australian 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 Phillip Island Circuit is blessed with breath-taking 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 MotoGP™ season.
Don't miss your chance to be at the Phillip Island Circuit for all the MotoGP™ action at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix 2025 this October!
