Phillip Island Grand Prix

The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is one of Australia’s most famous motorsport venues, located on Phillip Island in Victoria. Known for its fast, flowing corners and stunning coastal scenery, it is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging racetracks in the world. The circuit sits close to the ocean, meaning riders and drivers often face strong winds and rapidly changing conditions — a signature characteristic of racing at Phillip Island.

The modern circuit is 4.445 km long, featuring iconic sections such as Doohan Corner, Southern Loop, Lukey Heights, and the high-speed Gardner Straight. It regularly hosts major international events, most notably the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix (MotoGP), the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), and various national car and bike racing championships. The combination of elevation changes, long sweepers, and high average speeds makes it a favourite for both fans and professional riders.

Beyond major race events, the Phillip Island circuit is open year-round for visitor experiences. These include go-karting on a scale replica of the track, hot laps, track days, and the Championship Museum, which showcases bikes, cars, and motorsport history tied to the venue. With its blend of world-class racing, coastal views, and hands-on activities, the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is a cornerstone of Australian motorsport tourism.
