Australian Superbikes
Saturday 26th February
The Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) returns to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for 2022 Round 1.
The Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit is a classic and purpose built motorcycle track that is undulating, fast and flowing suits the rhythm of motorcycling riding perfectly.
The Island boasts one of the highest average top speeds for any track around the world, the combination of fast flowing sweepers, rolling undulations and tight hairpins this is one circuit that balances out the strength and weakness of various machines and riding styles.
As popular as the track is with the riders, the Island doesn’t come without its challenges. The sequence of long sweeping turns and high speeds means that the drive from turn 10 through to 12 onto the front straight at full lean, generates so much heat on the left side of the rear tyre, causing such a massive temperature deference that tyre manufactures have developed a dual compound ‘Island special’ to deal with those differences.
Bike setup is a balance of stability for the high speed sweepers, rear traction for the all-important drive off the turns and quick turn in character for the tighter Turns Four and 10 without compromising hard braking stability. This is a track you ride white line to white line at full commitment even if you can’t see the exit of the turn.
