The track
Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is a 4.445 km permanent circuit on Back Beach Road, Ventnor, on the south coast of Phillip Island above Bass Strait. Motor racing on the island goes back to 1928 on closed local roads. A group of local enthusiasts bought the current site in 1952, formed the Phillip Island Auto Racing Club, and held the first meeting in December 1956. The circuit hosts the Superbike World Championship and national car and bike series. A 750 m replica go kart track sits beside the main circuit.
