Josh Brookes gets surprise call-up for WSBK at Phillip Island

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is pleased to confirm Road Racing star Josh Brookes will compete at the Australian Round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship (WSBK) at Phillip Island from 24-26 February.

The former World Superbike and World Supersport rider has been called in by the Crescent Fixi Suzuki Team to replace injured rider John Hopkins for the season-opening event.

Currently plying his trade in the British Superbike Championship, Brookes is familiar with the premier SBK competition having first rode as a Wildcard in 2004.

This opened the door for Brookes to become a regular on the WSBK and Supersport scene in 2006-2007 before his move to the United Kingdom.

The Sydney-native is another product to come through the Australian Road Racing system, winning the 2005 Australian Superbike Championship before his move on to the world stage.

Brookes joins fellow Aussies Bryan Staring, Mark Aitchison and Wildcard David Johnson in the Superbike class for Phillip Island, with Broc Parkes and Jed Metcher flying the flag in the World Supersport Championship.

The 2012 WSBK Australian Round takes place at Phillip Island from 24-26 February.

For all the latest news, results and updates from all the Aussies in action at the Island be sure to check out the Official MA WSBK Website at www.ma.org.au/wsbk.

Media Release

For immediate release

13 February 2012

2012 Yamaha AORC Rounds 1 and 2 postponed

The first two rounds of the 2012 Yamaha Australian Off-Round Championship (AORC), originally scheduled for 25 and 26 February, have been postponed to 10 and 11 March due to wet weather.

It has been determined that the course that has been set will be impassable due to flooded rivers and creeks. A new course will be set that will bypass the need to cross rivers and creeks. The special tests will still be on the same properties.

Host club Dungog Motorcycle Club have requested the additional two weeks to get the course set and obtain the necessary approvals for the new course.

The closing date for Round 1 and 2 entries will now be last mail on Friday 2 March. All entries already received will be moved to the new dates, unless a request for refund is received at denise.hore@bigpond.com before Friday 24 February.

Senior riders who do not have full road registration will still require an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP). UVP forms can be downloaded here. The closing date for UVP’s will be extended to Friday 24 February.

We would like to thank the Dungog Motorcycle Club for their continued work in getting these rounds up and running.

The revised dates, venues and formats for the 2012 AORC can be found below.

Rounds	Date	Location	Format	Host Club
Rd 1 and 2	10-11 March	Dungog NSW	Enduro	Dungog MCC
Rd 3 and 4	31 Mar- 1 April	Wonthaggi VIC	Cross Country/ Sprint	Dandenong MCC

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who I haven’t seen yet this year, I wish you all a Happy New Year. It’s a little late I know but better late than never.

You’ll find attached the Club’s event calendar for 2012. We’ve got plenty on this year, lots of dirt track race meetings, a couple of social non competitive events and of course the Pony Express.

There are three Moto Trials events too but at this stage the exact dates are yet to be confirmed but don’t worry I’ll issue an updated calendar as soon as I know.

Hope to see you at the track,

Cheers,

Rob

[NBMC] Date Changes

2012-02-07T08:27:00.000+11:00

Hi all,

Just after I managed to finally get a list of dates and post it out to most members……. We have a couple of date changes.

The dirt track has been changed from 1/4 to 15/4 due to an administration error with the staff at Broadford.

The event 27/5 is cancelled as world trials are on at Malden (which should be well worth while checking out).

Media Release

3 February 2012

Summer wait for ASBK and 250 Production nearly over

The long summer wait for the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) is almost over for riders and fans alike, with the 2012 ASBK set to get underway in less than a month.

The first round of the Series will burst into life on 24-26 February at the iconic Phillip Island Circuit, taking to the track alongside the opening round of the World Superbike Championship (WSBK).

Spectators will be able to well and truly quench their summer Superbike thirst at the Island, with five Aussie riders booked on the World Supers stage and a complete program of ASBK action set down for the weekend.

In addition to the traditional array of ASBK classes, spectators will also be treated to the first showing of the new national Championship 250 Production class. Introduced to foster new talent and provide a pathway for riders looking to get into Road Racing, this new class is sure to add an exciting new dimension to the Aussie Road Race calendar.

The 250 Production class is open to riders aged 14 and over, and provides a choice of five eligible bikes: Kawasaki Ninja 250R (released 2008); Honda CBR250R (released 2011); Hyosung GT250R (released 2008); Megelli 250R and 250SE; Daelim VJF250 (released 2009).

The class is generating strong competitor interest ahead of its debut, with riders of all ages signing on to tackle the 2012 Championship. Enthusiasm for the class is being echoed around the nation, with Western Australia running a 250 Production class alongside the F2 class, and the inclusion of an aligned 250 Production class in the 2012 Victorian Road Racing Championships.

Riders in all ASBK classes, including 250 Production, are reminded that entries for Round 1 must be lodged with Phillip Island Circuit, who are promoting and taking entries for the event, by Monday 6 February. Entries not received by the closing date will not be printed in the program. Entry forms are available from www.phillipislandcircuit.com.au/superbikes.

Riders are also reminded that they need to register their rider number in order to guarantee it for the 2012 Series. Rider number applications forms are available from www.ma.org.au/suppregs.

For all the latest Road Racing news as it happens, make sure to stay tuned to www.ma.org.au.

[NBMC] FW: Media Release: Bryan Staring set for Phillip Island after booking WSBK Australian Round ride

Bryan Staring set for Phillip Island after booking WSBK Australian Round ride

The Australian contingent for the 2012 World Superbike Championship season-opening round at Phillip Island has grown to five, with Bryan Staring securing an injury replacement ride for Team Pedercini Kawasaki.

Staring, who rides for Team Pedercini in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup, was handed the opportunity to race in Australia after Leandro Mercado was injured in a training accident last week.

Fresh from a challenging 10 days at the Australian institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra as part of the 2012 MA-AIS Training Development Camp, Staring said the news came as a bit of shock but the opportunity was too good turn down.

“I’m jumping out of my skin at the moment,” Staring said.

“It’s unfortunate for my teammate (to get injured), but that’s racing and it gives me an opportunity to compete on the biggest stage against some the world’s best.

“I owe a lot to Team Pedercini Kawasaki for this opportunity because they don’t have to bring the bike over, with all the freight cost, from Europe, but it’s a credit to them for making the effort to compete at Phillip Island.”

The 2010 Australian Superbike Champion made the move to Europe in 2011, signing to ride with Team Pedercini in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup, his first taste of international competition.

A year of ups and downs on and off the bike provided the Western Australian with a first-hand insight into the world of international racing, believing 12 months down the track he is better equipped to utilise his chance at Phillip Island after riding as a Wildcard in last year’s event.

“I’ve got a lot more confidence this time around going into the season, knowing what to expect,” he said.

“Last year was a real learning curve in Europe, but I feel I can use those experiences and I’m really excited about Phillip Island and the season ahead.”

Staring joins Mark Aitchison and Wildcard David Johnston as the Aussie representatives in the Superbike class, while Broc Parkes and Jed Metcher will compete in the Supersport class.

The Australian Round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship takes place at Phillip Island, Victoria from 24-26 February.

For all the latest news, updates and latest info ahead of the Australian Round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship be sure to visit the Official MA WSBK Website at: www.ma.org.au/wsbk.

Young guns ready to go for 2012 Australia U16 Solo & Teams Speedway C’ship

The next generation of Australian Speedway talent will be on show in Kurri Kurri this weekend for the 2012 Australian Under 16 125cc Solo & Teams Speedway Championship.

A host of the nation’s brightest young riders will fight it out for the National Championship, eager to follow in the footsteps of some Australia’s biggest Speedway stars.

2010 Champion Brady Kurtz leads a talented troupe of seeded riders, with the likes of 2011 Runner Up Max Fricke, South Australian Jake Mitchell, Queenslander Zaine Kennedy, Western Australian Shannon Gill and Jack Holder, younger brother of Australian Champion Chris, all eager to join the long list of stars to win the title.

They along with the 10 riders to come through the two qualifying groups will be hopeful of joining the likes of Dakota North, Justin Sedgmen, Aaron Summers and Troy Batchelor as winners of the Under 16 125cc Solo crown, which has shown to kick-start successful careers in the United Kingdom and Europe.

While individual glory is one part of the weekend ahead for our premier Under 16 riders, the opportunity for state bragging rights are also on the line.

New South Wales will be eyeing back-to-back Australian Under 16 125cc Teams Speedway Championships with defending Champion Jack Holder set to team-up with Brady Kurtz.

They will face plenty of stiff competition with teams from Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and a hungry Victorian team of Max Fricke and Cooper Riordan all out to bring success to their home states.

The 2012 Australian Under 16 125cc Solo & Teams Speedway Championship takes place on Friday 13 January and Sunday 15 January at Kurri Kurri Speedway, New South Wales.

For venue information visit: www.kurrikurrispeedway.org.au.

Motorcycling Australia (MA) will be there in Kurri Kurri providing coverage of all the Speedway action this weekend, including the Australian Solo Speedway Championship, Australian Under 16 125cc Solo & Teams Speedway Championship and Australian Under 16 Speedway Sidecar Championship, on the MA website at www.ma.org.au.

To find out more about the Rule Change process or to submit feedback, please visit the Competition section of the MA website at www.ma.org.au.
