Located about 1.5 hours south of Melbourne on Phillip Island, this 4.5km circuit is used for the Australian round of the MotoGP Championship and is often regarded by many of the GP riders as their favorite track of the whole championship. Fast and flowing with its long sweping corners like Southern Loop and Lukey Heights. With a main straight speed of around 260kph, this track is one of the best due to it's excellent road surface, terrific atmosphere, splendid views and if required, large run-off areas.

This track is also a favorite with the club, we hold at least 4 ride days here a year.

Located about 1.5 hours north east of Melbourne via the Hume. Winton raceway is a great winter track to get away from the coastal island weather. This track is an excellent alternative to Phillip Island, being small, tight and twisty. Winton also offers the wonderful advantage of having two track variations. The first being the current long track used by the V8 Supercars and Formula Extreme Bike Races, the other is the original short track (remove the Falken Straight section) which is seldom used but provides a great deal more enjoyment for most of the club members due to its more flowing nature, most riders don't get past second gear. Oh, and the other big advantage... It's cheap. Melways Reference: 522 B8
