Stuck for a Christmas gift idea?

Here's a great idea to save you the mayhem of Christmas shopping -- purchase tickets to the opening round of the 2010 Superbike World Championship at Victoria's Phillip Island circuit from February 26-28.

A superstar field of the globe's best production bike racers will be assembled, with Australian quartet Troy Corser (BMW), Chris Vermeulen (Kawasaki), Broc Parkes (Honda) and Andrew Pitt (BMW) carrying the Aussie flag.

There some great deals to be had, and if you purchase a three-day general admission (GA) ticket before December 31, you could be one of four lucky winners to be on the starting grid for world superbike's race one at the Island.

Here are some other ticketing options:

-- For a real treat, splash out and buy a BAR SBK ticket for $240*.  This is a three-day pass that gives access to four undercover and licensed viewing locations at the best locations around the circuit. You can move around the circuit at your leisure, with your BAR SBK pass allowing you access to prime viewing spots at any time over the three days.  Tickets are limited.

-- If you pre-purchase seven three-day tickets or seven BAR SBK tickets, you'll receive one free ticket of the same value.

And to ensure a really relaxing weekend, you can pitch your tent at the circuit campground ** just near Southern Loop and chill out with great views, an ocean breeze, no traffic hassles and great bands playing each night.

* Plus handling/postage charges

** Campground charge - four night camping for $99* per person or $198* per family
