AT PHILLIP ISLAND! Australia will once again launch the 2020 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, with the Yamaha Finance Round at Phillip Island to be held from Friday February 28 to Sunday March 1, 2020*.
The 2020 Australian event will set a new record being the 30th round to be held at Victoria’s world- acclaimed Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. The first event held in 1990 was won by two Australians – the opening 1990 race to Peter Goddard and the second race to Robbie Phillis. The WorldSBK championship has returned every year since 1990, bar 1993.
No other circuit on the global tour has hosted as many rounds with riders, teams and fans flocking for three decades to the sweeping turns and thrillingly fast 4.445 km circuit that borders the stunning ocean vista of Bass Strait.
Race weekend will run from Friday to Sunday, with practice and qualifying Friday dominating the day one schedule and Free Paddock Friday giving everyone close-range access to the riders and the last-minute season preparations.
World Superbikes will continue with the three-race format of two 22-lap Phillip Island battles and the ten lap Tissot Superpole Race making both Saturday and Sunday “race” days for WorldSBK. World Supersport is back, plus Australian Superbikes leads the national classes, with all local categories launching their 2020 national championships and guaranteeing spectacular racing for all three days.
