FIM World Supercross Championship unveils track map WSX Australian GP ahead of inaugural race at HBF Park in Perth

The FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) has unveiled the circuit layout for the upcoming WSX Australian GP as the series heads to Perth to race at HBF Park.

Taking place on 23-24 November, the WSX Australian GP signals the mid-way point of the series' 2024 season, and represents a number of firsts for the championship, with WSX not only racing in Perth for the first time, but also hosting its first-ever double-header event in the city.

Across two rounds of action, a total of 14 races will take place across the series' WSX 450cc and SX2 250cc classes, with a maximum haul of 210 points available in each class across the weekend ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi on 4 December.

Before the weekend, 6,000 tonnes of dirt will be transported to HBF Park to transform the home ground of soccer team, Perth Glory, and rugby union team, Western Force, into a high-octane arena for supercross.

The circuit at HBF Park has been specially designed to challenge WSX's 32 riders, with its rhythm sections, double, triple, and quadruple jumps, and whoops set to test the speed and talent of every competitor.

Eli Tomac, WSX Riders' Championship Points Leader & CDR Yamaha Supported by Star Racing Rider, said: "The WSX Australian GP will be my first time racing down under, I'm really excited for the event. As a double-header with two rounds, the weekend will be very unique, and because the track will evolve from race to race, and from night to night, it'll be a constant challenge for us riders to contend with. The layout looks fantastic, and I can't wait to ride it over the weekend."

Matt Moss, Nine-Time Australian National Champion & CDR Yamaha Supported by Star Racing Rider, added: "I can't wait to be racing back at home for the WSX Australian GP. In World Supercross, where we can get up close and personal with fans, nothing compares to a home event, and I can always feel the support and excitement from the stands. This year, WSX has eight Australian riders on the grid, and having so much local talent on show at a World Championship level will be incredible. The track is looking good, I'm feeling good, and I'm excited to get the weekend started."
