“On the Father’s Day weekend, 1 & 2 September, there will be thousands of people here on the Newcastle Foreshore watching the 4th year of the Newcastle International SuperMoto, with hundreds of thousands more watching across Australia and around the world on our live-stream broadcast,” said Graeme Boyd, CEO of the Newcastle International SuperMoto.
The Newcastle International SuperMoto is a family and community event full of action, thrills and spills which will showcase Newcastle to the world.
“We are proud to welcome the event back to the Foreshore,” Boyd continued, referring to the SuperMoto Events run at the Newcastle Foreshore since 2015.
“Right from the start Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes believed in the SuperMoto. She knew from events like all the free motorcycle parking in the city and popularity of the Bikers for Kids Christmas Toy Run that Newcastle is a motorcycle city (actually about 30% above the national average of motorcycle ownership.)”
“We are a free event because of the generosity of the people of Newcastle City and its Council.
The reach of the Newcastle International SuperMoto goes way beyond the 50,000 spectators expected at the event with live-stream and post-event TV coverage reaching a potential audience of over 1 billion people. Previous Newcastle SuperMoto has been viewed by over 20 million people across Australia, Asia, Europe, the USA and South America.
Champion riders from China, New Zealand, France, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, USA, Germany, the UK, Singapore, Malaysia and of course Australia will be racing at the Newcastle International SuperMoto. Riders from across the motorcycle racing spectrum will be competing to be considered the Best of the Best – World Champions like Troy Bayliss, Jason Crump, Shayne King, FIM Asia SuperMoto Champion Lewis Cornish, four time USA SuperMoto champion Gage McAllister and current FIM Oceania champion Adam Miller.
Grandstand upgrade tickets will be available for sale from June 14 through Moshtix. The Newcastle International Supermoto is supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
