Motorcycling Australia (MA) is pleased to announce that entries for the 2018 FIM Oceania Newcastle International Supermoto featuring the Australian Supermoto Championship are now open and the Supplementary Regulations are now available. The Championships will take place 1-2 September 2018, back at the Newcastle Foreshore, NSW.
‘Back to the Foreshore’ is the theme for the 2018 FIM Oceania Newcastle International Supermoto, with the event returning to the harbourside location this year.
With free public entry and being run over the Father’s Day weekend, the FIM Oceania Newcastle International Supermoto is going to be very well attended.
The track is being purpose-built and is designed to keep most riders spending the same amount of time each lap on tar and dirt. The jumps won’t be super-aggressive as the track is being designed to flow.
Enter online at: www.racesecretary.com by the close of business on Friday 17th August 2018. All Entries will be accepted at the promoter’s discretion. Late entries may be accepted at the promoter’s discretion.
Supplementary Regulations for the 2018 FIM Oceania Newcastle International Supermoto featuring the Australian Supermoto Championship can be downloaded HERE.
