All is set for February’s hottest high speed date with the launch today of the agenda for the opening round of the FIM Superbike World Championship, Phillip Island Swann round, at Australia’s thrilling Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit.

Wall to wall racing is what World Superbikes is all about and if you love motorcycles and world class sport, a ticket to the supers is the perfect Christmas gift for yourself – or for your mate. Go to www.worldsbk.com.au for bookings.

The 20-22 February event kicks off the 2015 world title chase for the leading production-based categories of World Superbikes and World Supersport with new rules, new riders and new machinery to thrill world motorcycling fans.

The schedule is super charged for 2015 with local classes of four frenetic categories launching their national championships being Australian Superbike, Australian Supersport, Moto3/125GP and the Australian Juniors.

In addition, Australian Superbike and Australian Supersport will compete in round one of the 2015 Phillip Island Championship – a crown that is fought out over Australia’s two world motorcycle events, World Superbikes and MotoGP, and was won in 2014 by Josh Hook.

Freestyle motocross is also set to fire up the action, with massive mounds being constructed on the infield at Doohan Corner, Lukey Heights and Siberia. A high flying troupe will perform at each on track interval, with spectators on the outfield getting a bird’s eye view of the dirt kings strutting their stuff.

The best news is that WSBK is totally affordable. Buy in advance for the best deals, with a three-day pre-paid ticket just $110*, saving $40 on the gate price. On track camping is a bargain, at just $90* for up to four nights under the stars, just metres from the beautiful, black strip of Phillip Island bitumen. And for the final sweetener, kids 15 and under are free.

Advance ticket buyers get access to Free Paddock Friday, allowing them into the Grand Prix paddock on Friday morning, to see the bikes and hear the WSBK stars for the first time in 2015 as they are interviewed in the Paddock Show.

Buy in advance, and you also get express gate entry, no queues and free bike parking. Get into the WSBK spirit, and bring your prized bike, because at World Supers, your very own set of wheels is more than welcome trackside. Cruise the spectator areas, find a favourite spot, park your machine and sit back and enjoy summer at the supers, island-style.

Regular World Superbike attendees will be happy to know that Gate 3 on The Gap Road is reopening on 2015, giving easy access to Siberia and Lukey Heights.

The Kids SuperZone is back for a tonne of fun for youngsters on the free giant inflatable slide, volcanic island climbing wall, 10-seat chair-o-plane and face painting.

So give yourself a Christmas treat and nab your ticket to February’s hottest high-speed date. Go to www.worldsbk.com.au or call the SBK toll free hotline on 1 300 728 007
