Motorcycling Australia (MA) has this afternoon announced the classes for the 2015 Australian Superbike Championship.

Superbike, Supersport, Moto3/125GP and 300/250/Women’s Production will make up a streamlined package of championship categories, while a Unlimited national support class will also be included.

Additional announcements around MA’s support categories will be made in the coming weeks.

Next season will see the inclusion of Club Challenge races, a format that allows each host club to select the most popular class amongst their members to contest at their respective ASBK round.

MA president Braxton Laine is confident that the classes for 2015 will provide both stability and accessibility for a broad range of competitors.

“To provide a first class Australian championship we need to focus on the core group of racing classes,” Laine said. “For now, we’re confident the five core classes we have confirmed will provide top class competition for riders and thrilling racing for spectators.

“The addition of the Club Challenge this year will give our host clubs riders another opportunity to race in a different class to the five we’ve confirmed.”

The 2014 championship will commence alongside World Superbikes on 19-22 February at Phillip Island, before spanning five rounds across the country and concluding at Phillip Island in October.
