International Island Classic

Phillip Island houses the internationally renowned Grand Prix circuit; therefore there are a number of large motorsport races held here which draw thousands of spectators each year.

The Australian Motorcycling International Island Classic is Australia’s largest historic motorcycle race and the third largest motorcycling event on the Australian calendar behind the MotoGP and World Superbike events.

The headline event, the International Challenge, will see teams from Australia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom battle for glory. Points will be awarded according to finishing position of each rider over 4 races, and the trophy awarding to the team based on the accumulated points. The highest individual point scorer from the 4 races will be awarded the Ken Wootton Perpetual Trophy.

Running for close to 3 decades, the International Island Classic features the International Challenge which is fiercely contested between Australia, the UK and USA.

Those with their own bikes are also encouraged to register for the Shannons Parade Lap where spectators can ride a play of the Grand Prix Circuit during this event. Your bike simply needs to be a pre-1990 non-competition motorcycle for you to participate in this fun event.

Many spectators to this event, camp onsite as there is plenty of space available only a short distance away from the track. Alternatively, there are plenty of other accommodation options available all over Phillip Island.
