WSBK, Phillip Island from Departure; The Bend Motorsport Park Finds Its New Home!
The World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) is adapting to innovation on the motorsport scene by departing from its established Australian circuits. Following MotoGP’s relocation to Adelaide, WSBK will host races starting with the 2028 season at The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia. This significant agreement will add a new destination to the championship calendar and strengthen South Australia's position in the motor sports landscape.
A New Turning Point: The Partnership Between WSBK and The Bend
The departure of WSBK from Phillip Island is part of a long-term collaboration that begins with the 2028 season. As the new home of the Championship, The Bend Motorsport Park will operate with a vision to create a facility capable of attracting leading motor sports categories worldwide and hosting international races.
Company General Manager Dr. Sam Shahin emphasized the importance of the agreement by stating, “This is a historic day for motorsports and South Australia.” He also expressed that the races at The Bend would offer an event experience appealing to WSBK’s passionate global fan base and strengthen the championship’s position in the international calendar.
Aiming to Be South Australia's Motor Sports Capital
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas stated that the agreement with WSBK would further strengthen the state’s ambition to be “Australia’s motor sports capital.” The agreement will generate significant economic, tourism and promotional benefits across the region, positioning South Australia as one of the country’s strongest motor sports portfolios. Thanks to The Bend circuit's world-class infrastructure and passionate fans, it will also serve as an important training platform for future generations of drivers, alongside high-level events.
WorldSBK’s New Chapter in Australia
WorldSBK Executive Director Gregorio Lavilla highlighted that Australia is a special part of WSBK history and an important market for manufacturers, teams and fans. Confirming that the Australian race will take place at The Bend from 2028 onwards, he drew attention to the circuit's excellent facilities and strong commitment to motor sports. This will create a solid platform for WorldSBK’s new chapter in Australia.
