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 circuit 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, circuits on the calendar, it provides some of the most spectacular racing in the MotoGP™ season.
However, 2026 will be the last year of MotoGP™ racing at the Phillip Island Circuit, with Adelaide set to host the Australian event from 2027. Don't miss your chance to be at the Phillip Island Circuit for the last MotoGP™ race this October!
