Australian Supercross Championship restructured

The 2015 instalment of the Australian Supercross Championship will take on a different look and feel to previous years, with central coordination from Motorcycling Australia (MA) and a six-round calendar to encompass rounds in four states.

Australian Supercross Championship coordinator Mark Luksich, who stood down from his role as Chairman of the MA Motocross Commission to oversee the series reshuffle, said the changes were introduced to provide more stability for the championship.

“We are very excited to announce these new changes for the 2015 Australian Supercross Championship season, and we have worked hard to make this series the best it can be for the riders, organisers, officials, fans and the industry in general,” Luksich said. “The main change is that we have moved away from one exclusive promoter to four different promoters for 2015.

“The main problem with the last 10 years of supercross has been uncertainty of what the calendar will be the following season. The industry and particularly the pro-teams expect us to provide a calendar with adequate notice for the following year to assist them in organising budgets and travel, and I don’t blame them.

“For the first time MA will take on a much more operational role of coordinating the series and this will include seeking championship sponsors to help ensure consistent event branding. Pending sponsorship support, the championship will include a TV package for all rounds.”

There will be both senior and junior classes as part of the championship, with the current calendar as follows:
