Clint Farr, of Upper Beaconsfield, Victoria, was the respected and popular Supersports rider who tragically died after an accident during a race at last year's Grand Prix at Phillip Island.

The Acting Chief Executive of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, Mr Steven Wright, said the trophy would be "a fitting tribute to Clint Farr's memory".

"We have worked with Clint's family to establish a lasting reminder of his contribution to Supersports racing," Mr Wright said.

Three eight-lap Supersports races will be held at the Grand Prix - two on the afternoon of Friday, October 18, and another on the afternoon of Saturday, October 19.

Mr Wright said the Clint Farr Memorial Trophy would be presented on the Grand Prix's main day, Sunday, October 20, to the category's overall winner from the three races.

"We are sure the trophy will be cherished by all Supersports riders competing at the Grand Prix," Mr Wright said.

Clint Farr's parents, Ian and Jill, said: "The Farr family are very honoured and proud to think that the Grand Prix have taken time to honour Clint in this way. He lived and breathed his motorcycling."
