The Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) will be returning to New South Wales' only permanent race facility -- Sydney Motorsport Park, formerly Eastern Creen Raceway -- for the 2013 season.
Sydney Motorsport Park recently benefitted from a multi-million-dollar facelift, after last hosting an ASBK round in 2009 when Josh Waters (pictured) rode his Suzuki GSX-R1000 to victory.
“The Australian Superbike Championship has been a platform for many world champions and as the economy has tightened, less international opportunities have presented themselves, hence the phenomenal level of racers currently remaining in Australia to compete,” said Yarrive Konsky, the boss of ASBK promoter IEG.
“To enable these riders to once again be able to showcase their talents to the people of Sydney is great and I appreciate the opportunity to bring the championship back to the famous Sydney Motorsport Park. I recently returned to the venue and its upgrades presented a professional and inviting feel for fans of motorsport -- I am looking forward to bringing the colour and life of Australian Superbike racing back to New South Wales."
The 2013 ASBK calendar is yet to be announced.
