It was also confirmed last week that AUSTAR subscribers now have access to the popular SPEED and SPEED HD channels, widening the audience for the Viking Group Australian Superbike Championship telecasts.

The channels will be added to AUSTAR’s Sports option at no extra cost to subscribers.

The eagerly-anticipated move will ensure even more motorsport fans are able to witness the wheel-to-wheel action of the country’s top road race categories.
