   We have been travelling to the GP from the first race and it is now an annual event. We started as two bikes but over the years it has grown to 6-8 at any one time. Unless you ride a bike no one can explain the feeling of riding onto and off that island in the middle of all those bikes. It is an awesome day!

   ” The Island ” is a must do, at least twice every year . Superbikes & Motogp . A naturally stunning setting for the track which brings world wide aclaim to our nation.
   In all types of weather, my friends & I have always had a great weekend’s entertainment both at the circuit & also in the surrounding towns. Even the long journey from Adelaide is lessened by the arrival at the track. Go Aussies !

   Stunning track always promotes stunning racing. Well organized both inside the track and outside. A circuit that has breath taking views of natural surrounds and an atmosphere on race day to be remembered.

   What a buzz!! Our visit was really exciting for the whole family. We all went on the go karts - my youngest in a tendem kart with his dad, then we all played on the massive slot car track and then went for a guided tour and ended up on the winner’s podium. An absolutely impressive venue, great value for money and a great place for the whole family!! Well done . . .

    A great place to visit for all the family. The go karts is entertainment plus with the best go karts around. Race days, especially World Superbikes make it a fun weekend. A must visit.

    If you haven’t been to an event at this circuit you must, its a buzz, the atmosphere at Moto GP is fantastic, to top it off you have a breathtaking view to enjoy all day. Fantastic.
    Also even better now with the organised traffic management on big events, takes no time to get home.
    Note: If hot take an umbrella, limited shade, and if cold take a warm jacket….

    An essential part of being a true Aussie. Beautiful location, exciting sports action, all while developing more reliable, safe and fuel efficient vehicles. An object lesson in intelligently using society’s resources for both pleasure and profit.

    Philip Island is the home of international motorcycle racing where we can see Australian international stars like Casey Stoner and Troy Bayliss

    To be involved in the whole MOTOGP weekend is great. Comrardery and just like minded people (mostly) enjoying the pinnacle of motor racing. Camp at the track then extend the weekend and take a ride down through gippsland and sorround’s. Great,scenic roads and all in all makes for a great break.
