Entries open for Newcastle SuperMoto

Entries are now open for Australians wishing to compete at the opening round of the FIM Asia SuperMoto Championship at Newcastle’s iconic foreshore on September 3-4.

The event, officially named, Graeme Boyd Motorcycles presents the Watson Demolition Newcastle City SuperMoto, will include Open, Pro, Women’s and Vets support classes. Riders who would like to submit an entry for the international FIM Asia SuperMoto Championship races must complete a “Start Permission Form” and submit it directly to Motorcycling Australia.

Event Organiser, Graeme Boyd, said record entries are expected for the Newcastle event. “If you are a racer this is definitely a bucket list event,” Boyd explained. “For those who are competing at an elite level, there is also the opportunity to enter the international FIM Asia SuperMoto Championship races as a wildcard. The schedule for this event is designed to ensure each class is afforded maximum track time across the weekend.”

Saturday’s on-track action will include practice, qualifying and race one for both the headline FIM Asia SuperMoto Championship and the Australian support classes. The event will conclude on Sunday with races two and three of the Australian support classes, as well as the final 30-minute FIM Asia SuperMoto race.

The Australian round of the FIM Asia SuperMoto Championship has been secured at Newcastle for the next three years through the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
