Australia’s WorldSBK Finals Confirmed for November 20
The long-awaited confirmation that we will actually get a lap in the 2022 World Motorcycle Championship at Phillip Island has finally been confirmed. Phillip Island will host the WorldSBK 2022 final on the weekend of November 20. The World Supersport Championship will also take place that weekend but the World Supersport 300 Championship will not take place in Australia.
The seventh round of the Australian Superbike Championship will take place over the weekend and we believe the race categories will be the ASBK Superbike, ASBK Supersport and ASBK Supersport 300.
While Phillip Island has not been confirmed as the opening host of the 2023 Superbike World Championship, MCNews.com.au believes that we will indeed host the opening round of the 2023 World Superbike Championship at Phillip Island, alongside with pre-season testing.
The 2022 season will end with the only double header of the year, as the Australia Round will come just a week after the Indonesia Round. This will be the first time since 2010 that the WorldSBK season ends with match-ups, and the 11th in the Championship’s history.
The iconic Phillip Island Circuit has appeared on the WorldSBK calendar every year since 1990, excluding 1993 and last year due to the pandemic, and has hosted the highest number of WorldSBK races (61 races).
Phillip Island is now back on schedule for 2022 and the entire WorldSBK playing field looks forward to returning to Australia for what promises to be a thrilling finale. This will be the fourth time in the Championship’s 35-year history that Phillip Island has hosted the season finale; The last time was in 1996.
