2011 Australasian Supercross schedule
Five new locations around Australia for the Super X title, including the first ever event in Melbourne to kick off proceedingsThe Australasian Supercross Championship, aka Monster Energy Super X, has been given a massive shake-up for the 2011 season, including a drop to five rounds, a first ever visit to Melbourne, the deletion of New Zealand from the calendar, a NSW focus, and a commitment to more boutique locations at the expense of the mega stadiums like QSAC in Brisbane.
Now in its fourth year, the series will kick off in Melbourne (at the Melbourne Nights Stadium) on October 22, and conclude at North Ipswich Reserve (Qld) on November 19.
The other rounds will be held at WIN Stadium in Wollongong on October 29, Campbelltown Stadium on November 5 and Maitland Oval on November 12 -- all NSW. All events will be held on a Saturday.
“I am pleased to confirm our continued investment and long term plans for the sport of supercross in Australia,” said the Managing Director of Global Action Sports, Michael Porra. “GAS has invested millions of dollars into the series over the past three years and will continue to do so to ensure its growth in the future.
“We have been working incredibly hard on this year’s championship and we are looking forward to once again delivering a world class series to Australian supercross fans with exhilarating formats, international standard supercross tracks and high quality television coverage, which will be replayed one week after every round.
“GAS has also responded to feedback from fans re ticket pricing and I am happy to announce that through our partnership with Monster Energy and MA, we have been able to offer far greater value to fans from 2011, with an all new and more affordable ticket price structure,” concluded Porra.
The rider line-up is yet to be announced, including whether American Josh Hansen will defend his crown.
