“This is a significant moment for Territory sport, and with strong ticket sales, we’re confident it will be a popular event both at the track and on screens around the world.”
Early in the weekend, the action will kick off with the Motorcycling Australia Motocross State Challenge on Friday, September 19, which showcases the nation’s rising motocross stars in the MX3 and MX85 categories.
