Phillip Island is already preparing to gear up for a jam-packed racing schedule from October 20 to October 22 for the two premiere class MotoGP™ races headlining the MotoGP™ Guru by Gryfyn Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix 2023.
Thousands of fans are expected to converge on the island for three days of nail-biting racing, live music, and a heap of family-friendly entertainment.
The MotoGP is the biggest sporting event in regional Victoria and we are expecting up to 100,000 people to descend on to Phillip Island over the Grand Prix weekend.
“This is the cornerstone of Bass Coast Shire Council’s events program, bringing with it an economic benefit of more than $42 million. It is also a major driver for off-season tourism, employment and international exposure to key markets.” said Mayor, Cr Michael Whelan.
“Phillip Island has successfully hosted the Australian MotoGP for close to 30 years at our world famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit and we are thrilled to again host this brilliant family event featuring community days, activities and a range of exciting programs to support the main races”.
Recently, Bass Coast Shire Council Mayor Michael Whelan and Acting CEO Greg Box met with Travis Auld, the new Moto GP CEO and his team in preparation for the event.
“We are thrilled to have met with the new Moto GP CEO, and are very keen to continue the great partnership between our two organisations. We look forward to continuing to work together to make the Grand Prix a brilliant and fun filled experience for the whole community.” said Greg Box, Acting CEO, Bass Coast Shire Council.
